From NOAA’s “2010 State of the Climate” report :
Sea Level
* Sea level continued to rise across the world’s oceans on average.
All of the satellites showed sea level dropping sharply in 2010. ESA’s Envisat showed sea level at the lowest level since they started taking measurements in 2004.

Chocolate ration increased from 30 grams/wk to 25 grams/wk.
Their calculations are described in pages 99 and 100 of the report. They appear to be claiming since they can’t make comparisons against other datasets, they’re working with only a subset of data. Sounds like another way of saying: “we’re cherry picking to support the AGW theory”.
I’m going with the criminals, but I remain open to the idea that they’re just incredibly incompetent.

Joe Bastardi says cooling coming to earth not “Global Warming”
Maybe they aren’t clowns or criminals. Maybe they are just insane. Insane with greed and their desire to feel important. Or maybe some combination of all of the above.
Bureaucracy at its finest! They are doing their best to justify their existence and promote additional funding to expand their field of influence. If we allowed them their Climate Central, where they could quadruplicate the services provided by sooo many others, we could waste even more money the country is trying to justify printing. Maybe the NOAA should be funded with “Funny Money” to match the services they provide!

I had an inkling I had another one in me, vague intuitive wrath, an itch I couldn’t scratch. I broke my Atkins diet for this baby.

That 2011 Wirth quote is beyond ironic. Alarmists have had a far, far easier “free ride” than skeptics could ever hope for.
TinyPic.com has started re-compressing large images as soon as they get moderate traffic so they end up blurry. Thanks TinyPic.com!
This site seems to retain them just fine:

Over 90% of the worlds glaciers are retreating, melting. That does not happen in a world that is getting colder.
2010 set new records for the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Since 1995 the ice sheet lost an average of 265 cubic kilometers per year,
That does not happen in a world that is getting colder.
Arctic sea ice extent in May 2011 was the third lowest in the satellite record, continuing the overall downward trend of the past thirty years
That does not happen in a world that is getting colder.
You can argue the cause. You can argue if it is natural or man made.
However, You can not deny the melting of glaciers or the Greenland ice sheet or the Arctic sea ice.
The earth is warming.
How much Kool-Aide did you drink this morning?
Ha ha. Good idea to resort to cute when you can’t dispute facts.
Now back to the facts. Care to dispute 30 years of evidence from the likes of NASA, Satellite images from multiple countries, the WGMS, EPA, etc. all of which confirm the melting of the glaciers and the shrinking of the ice sheets?
30 years? More like 250 years.

lol, do the physical properties of H2O escape you?
No the physical properties of H20 do not escape me.
And cute statements do nothing to refute decades of evidence from organizations around the world.
This evidence includes pictures from space satellites, pictures collected by monitoring agencies, yearly measurements, etc. Yes I am sure you can refute a piece of evidence here or there but taken in total the evidence is overwhelming. The worlds glaciers are melting. The worlds ice sheets are melting and that means the world is getting warmer, not colder or remaining constant.
Are you a bot?
Many skeptics on here lack a basic understanding. The small sea level fall is because there was so much water on land in 2010 (remember all that flooding?) that it actually lowered the average sea level slightly. It’s clearly explained on the NASA page — look at the diagram on the right.
