Yes, it is. And I find amusing people who use the scientifically foolish argument "we're in an Ice Age, so no global warming" without realising that mean temperatures should decrease or maintain stable and glaciers should increase rather than melt. It backfires.

Nobody is arguing these things.

You may be the victim of a rather simple form of mind control. Basically, on 'the reservation' what you know about the beliefs of other side is what those running the reservation tell you those beliefs are. And they mis-inform you about the beliefs. Deliberately.

You should get 'off the reservation' and go out for some fresh air from time to time. You might ultimately find life off of the reservation to be preferable.

It's a bit prepotent to desmerit my knowledge on this topic assuming Idon't know about the other side's beliefs... when in fact you don't either.

Not only I have seen it anectodally (the father of my friend, who is a physics doctor, claims he made calculations proving Greenhouse Effect isn't real - the arrogance!) but there are actual a few high-profile (midiatic) examples. Not to mention the low-profile ones, i.e. personal blogs and Facebook groups.

This is the (incorrect) hypothesis called global cooling, the concept the globe's actually cooling (I assume you believe the Earth is a globe at the very least, right?). Essentially, people misusing the geological time scale and large-period climatic oscillations to justify beliefs for a short-term climatic oscilation.
