The weather is getting better by the hour

Global warming pisses me off.
I'd hate to re-rant about something I have already ranted about, but I just saw this article on Yahoo! I hate how the media manipulates the uneducated public with these bullshit scare stories. How exactly can they measure the salt content of the whole fucking ocean anyway?! It's impossible. Not only that, the salt content is not the same everywhere. Just because one or some areas of the ocean have declining salt concentrations does not mean the whole ocean does.
Same with the whole "Global warming" theory. Just because some glaciers are melting, and some climates are getting warmer, it does not mean the whole Earth is getting warmer, and that all the glaciers will melt and flood the Earth. In fact, most glaciers are growing, but you never hear anything about those do you? The article even says that "scientists disagree over whether the planet is warming and how much humans might be contributing." And yet in the very next sentence it only talks about how "most" climate experts believe there is a clear warming trend. Just the fact that there is widespread disagreement should tell you something. You don't see anyone arguing about DNA coding for genes, or that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. That's because no one can accurately and consistently predict the weather one month or even one week in the future, let alone in hundreds of years.
And even if the Earth were experiencing global warming, the effects are so miniscule and so extended that we wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway. Oh no! the Earth is going to warm up one degree in a hundred years! Time to give this "trend" a spiffy name and cause widespread panic! YAY!
