Global climate change...in Iceland
No question there are those that doubt..but for those of us that have crossed that particular Rubicon..... http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/24/vr/iceland-glaciers-climate-change-vr/index.html Gary...

Humans have recorded accurate climate data for how long? 100 years? 200? The earth as been around 5 billion years, give or take. Not exactly a huge statistical sample, to say the least.
Then, there is the fact that we currently use sophisticated data recorders to record that temperature. Do we really think the guy who recorded the temperatures for Missoula, Montana in 1914 had the same accuracy as today? Do we know for sure he didn't locate his equipment for a bit of convenience, say closer to his building than ideal, just to make it a bit easier to get those readings? Do you really think he was concerned his temperature data would be used to justify billions upon billions upon billions of spending 100 years in the future?
Then there is the fact that to derive these current temperature readings, climatologists use mathematical models to "adjust" for things like thermal gain in cities. Tweak the formulas, you tweak the resulting evidence of climate change.
Finally, the bulk of the earth's landmass would benefit from climate change. Think of the additional food that could be grown and the additional population that could be accommodated if Siberia and Northern Canada was habitable.
