Flat

An AGW doubter well known to many of us notes that his point of view is not much shared:

...We are so tiny, in fact, that we are almost like those who believe that the Moon landing was shot in Arizona and the world is flat...

but fails to draw the obvious lesson.

More interesting to me was his reproduction of a denialist bumper sticker making much of the so-called global ice anomaly. This is an amusingly obtuse combining of the Arctic and Antarctic ice anomalies, which river dwellers love because it has recently been in positive territory. Cherry pickers must pick cherries while they may, of course, but the dynamics of the North polar sea ice and that of the South are so different that the conflation is quite preposterous.

I guess that it may impress those who aren't aware that the Antarctic is mainly occupied by a continent, whereas the North pole sits in an ocean.
