I stated it was US data and then you post a link trying to debunk it because it's US data. Please read a little more carefully next time.
But if you think, that due to the fact that the evidence is not sound because it's geospecific, we could also ignore the recent decrease in Arctic ice (it's only covers 10% anyway) and focus on the overall global glacial trend. Some have shrunk, some have expanded and some have stayed the same. Overall the volume is the same as before this scare campaign started

Reality is it will be detrimental to the developing world (Evanbb agrees with this).

Rubbish, 1 example please.

If you are referring to mosquito born disease, you'll find that has to do with increased population density and habitat creation due to deforestation.

I prefer to deal with reality before abstract.

It seams so.
