Global warming myths

None of what most people think they know about "global warming" is actually true. Here are 10 top global warming untruths:

1. Global temperatures are rising. No, they are not, and haven't since 1998.

2. The polar ice caps are melting. Not so.

3. Droughts have never been so bad. Wrong again.

4. Cities have never been hotter. Yes, they have.

5. The oceans are getting hotter. Nope, the seas are actually cooling.

6. The seas are rising. In fact, ocean levels have been rising for 10,000 years. But they're not rising now. Global-warming alarmists claim that the Maldives will be submerged because of global warming, but in fact the sea level there has not risen for at least 1,250 years.

7. Hurricanes are getting worse. Nope, they're weaker now than they've been in decades.

8. Australi's Great Barrier Reef is dying. No, it's thriving quite well.

9. Snow seasons are shorter. Not hardly.

10. Tsunamis are other natural disasters are getting worse because of global warming. Oh, please, get serious. Tsunamis?

Full explanation of these 10 points is here.

Oh, did you know that acne has been blamed on global warming? As have dozens and dozens of other things, listed here.
