Are you saying the glaciers are not melting?
Or that we don't have an expected 9 foot rise in ocean levels?
The fingerprints of Global Warming and pollution of the environment are based in human activity - exploitation, capitalism.
The melting of the glaciers are also changing the pressure on the tectonic plates which will bring increasing numbers of earthquakes with increasing severity.
Trump -- and W Bush before him -- are but two examples of government corruption and
deception, especially in regard to science.
See: James Hansen who's reports on Global Warming for the government were censored and changed.
WW: How often do you think the government is attempting to distort results of scientific research?
JH: Almost all scientists in the Environmental Protection Agency say that they cannot say what they believe if it goes against the [Bush] administration’s preference. In NASA it was the same (if policy-relevance was involved) until the administrator gave a green light. My impression is that things have improved, but they are still not good. My information is based on hearsay from a small number of scientists, but also on broader studies such as the last one conducted by the Union of Concerned Scientists. This attitude of the administration is idiotic, not just because it violates basic principles of democracy, but because it leads to lousy policymaking. Why do you need advice of scientists, if you know that you are only going to accept results that fit predetermined policy decisions?

Today's global Warming is based in burning of fossil fuels and pollution and destruction of the environment due to human activity and populations --
Of course, modern global warming stems from a clear cause—rising levels of CO2 (and other greenhouse gases) from fossil fuel burning, cutting down forests and other human activities. And, in the past rising CO2 levels at the very least magnified global warming, ushering in the relatively balmy, stable climate sometimes called the "long summer" that has allowed human civilization to flourish. Humanity has now raised global CO2 levels by more than the rise from roughly 180 to 260 ppm at the end of the last ice age, albeit in a few hundred years rather than over more than a few thousand years. "The end of an ice age, you have a sense in your bones what that means: a big, significant change for the planet," Shakun says. "It's a tangible example of what rising CO2 can mean for the planet over the long-term." https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-thawed-the-last-ice-age/
And, of course, scientists have predicted Global Warming changes of natural systems into the far future, but then suddenly realized the glaciers beneath their feet were melting and falling right now -- https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-thawed-the-last-ice-age/
Actually, scientists are even doubling that expected rise -- https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2016/03/30/antarctic-loss-could-double-expected-sea-level-rise-by-2100-scientists-say/?utm_term=.07b027b7a448

For those who may recall SANDY, I would point out that Manhattan island was flooded (underwater) up to 39th street ... as the East River and the Hudson River came together over Manhattan.

Well, true ... you can believe Rush Limbaugh, or you can believe James Hansen and our Nobel scientists.
