No, the opposite. But it only takes one fruitcake to claim that the world's glaciers are actually growing rather than receding, and it's quoted all over the world's media. So the public picture of the issue is often very skewed. As Harry says, people tend to believe what they would like to be true.
The polar ice caps are melting at a much faster rate than scientists predicted. This summer there was even a shipping passage through the arctic. How do we react? By fighting over rights to exploit the place for oil and gas.
