Climate scientists decide expansion of Antarctic sea ice is caused by Global Warming. Modern science is easy. Causation is already decided for you – all weather is caused by Global Warming, everything biological is created by Evolution, hydrocarbons come from decayed vegetation, economic success kills Mother Earth, etc. – so to be a successful “scientist” all you need do is explain your data according to the appropriate scientific dogma using words small enough for journalists to understand. Voila! Nobel Prizes will be yours.

We have had a relatively warm winter here in SA. Of course, right now we are drying out from 24hrs of rain (thank you God!) and the current temp is 55 with a wind chill into the 30s. A couple of weeks ago we had a late freeze. So I don't see much evidence of warming. Come July I may feel differently.

There's more but, hey, by now, you get the idea: according to its proponents, everything's caused by anthropogenic global warming.
Good list but you left off:
An erection lasting more than four hours: caused by AGW.
If you have an erection that last more than 4 hours call Al Gore.
That would surely make it go away!
A butterfly trapped in a spider's web?
That's my soul up there.
Optional answer, Bush's fault.
Global warming is Bush's fault. Bush's presidency is due to global warming.
We have a liberal-logic closed-loop paradox!
Nah, it's Corporate Greed.
And while they're at it, did they also attribute the absence of global warming to global warming?
That'll be in the next IPCC report.
More proof of global warming. In 1962 the Minnesota Twins home opener was 34 degrees. This year's opener it was a sweltering 35 degrees. So There. Issue is settled.
I'm not a baseball fan, but aren't you playing the Tigers? The radio sports guys here were joking that the Tiger ace might throw a no-hitter because the Minnesota hitters will be too cold to swing their bats.
The Tigers could have girly thrower Obama pitch as long as they put a Jason Verlander mask on him, or a Yankees uniform and the Twins will fold like an accordion.
They have electric underwear. No problem unless they pee their pants, then zap!
You're right. That's 1 degree in fifty years and at least as scientific a sample as the climatologists use. Extrapolating out, that's 2 degrees of warming in a century... shit, sounds good to me.
For global warming I've sure spent a lot of money on heating my place this winter. Normally by this time of year it's wouldn't be 20 degrees below normal and still snowing.
Just came back from the grocery store: it's 30 degrees outside according to my car, and it's snowing. On April 1. My golf league starts in two weeks and there's still snow on the ground. Global Warming my blue frostbit ass.
I rode past the local Golf Course this afternoon, the back nine looked like an outdoor scene from John Carpenter's The Thing.
And I'm roasting and wishing I had a short-sleeve shirt on today. Must be a sure sign of global warming.
Well step outside that sauna, man! Come outside!
Snow = GW; No snow = GW. Warm March = GW; cold March = GW. Ice shrinkage = GW; ice expansion = GW. It's become beyond stupid for a couple of years now.
What's the problem?
We all know that the hotter it gets, the more ice we will have.
Why is that so hard for you to understand?
/sarc
Make fun of the climate scientist if you dare but if that ice ever melts it will release a substantial amount of Dihydrogen Monoxide. That's a fact Jack!
I remember my high school chemistry teacher betting us he could drink a whole glass full of dihydrogen monoxide. He did, too.
I forced my teachers to move on to the hard stuff.
It's all lies that point to a political agenda and the liberal lapdog media eagerly lap it up and then regurgitates it to their politically illiterate litters. It's all about blind votes guided by emotion.
