What about a change in energy distribution between the poles and the

must be the same, so if the poles are warming then the equator must be
cooling. Is that happening?

I can't see that happening unless the Earths axis changes. For the life of
me I can not see how the
poles are going through melting while the planet is not going through a warm
down in general.
I'm not an expert in this field at all, maybe it is man made or not, if I
were to place a bet, I would say that it is man -made changes we are going
through.
I rarely if ever jump into these threads cause of lack of expierence, so
you've read my take on it and thats where I'll leave it.



I'm certainly no expert, but I can do math. Any reasonably-funded study can calculate the thermal result of burning all that hydrocarbon fuel since the Industrial Revolution, and the absorption/radiation differential of the planet 200 years ago vs. today. It shouldn't be difficult to determine conclusively whether the planet is cooling or warming.

My argument is that it's probably pretty constant, and that the gradient from center to edge-of-atmosphere is also pretty constant, so any "changes" are regional or pole-to-equator. Regional and pole-to-equator changes can be measured to hundredths of a degree these days, by satellite, and the data integrated to depict major shifts. Yet not even my daughter, who is still young enough to know everything, has found evidence that such a simple, objective, and "global" study has been done.
