Hey Pooey..

You do realise that an ice has around only 90% density of water? And the others have already pointed out the number of glaciers in Antarctica. I think it's quite clear to me that you've got nothing to grasp at but straws at this point and it shows, badly

I'll eat crow on that post. I was assuming that the continent was so cold that it was mostly covered by ice and did not contain individual glaciers. Do you have any info on the freshwater flow into the oceans from the melt of those glaciers? I'm not sure it will be significant enough to raise ocean levels even though we assume the ice mass in Antarctica, is shrinking from global warming?
I guess you'r not immune from error either? As Kieth pointed out. You stressed there was no global cooling period! You may be guilty of straw grasping too?

After rising rapidly during the first part of the 20th century, global average temperatures did cool by about 0.2°C after 1940 and remained low until 1970, after which they began to climb rapidly again.

And you did tacitly admit you overstated something.

As a matter of fact your reference..

Where does the myth come from? Naturally enough, there is a kernel of truth behind it all. Firstly, there was a trend of cooling from the 40's to the 70's (although that needs to be qualified, as hemispheric or global temperature datasets were only just beginning to be assembled then). But people were well aware that extrapolating such a short trend was a mistake (Mason, 1976) . Secondly, it was becoming clear that ice ages followed a regular pattern and that interglacials (such as we are now in) were much shorter that the full glacial periods in between. Somehow this seems to have morphed (perhaps more in the popular mind than elsewhere) into the idea that the next ice age was predicatable and imminent. Thirdly, there were concerns about the relative magnitudes of aerosol forcing (cooling) and CO2 forcing (warming), although this latter strand seems to have been short lived.

Re asserts my expressed doubt about the myths about global warming causes. Note the second and third points. rmnunez points it out..There is a history of climate change over the years.
