It's interesting to see the creationists branch out.
Yes, the Earth has been hotter! It's also gone through numerous climate changes that could easily kill billions of people.
Only a "tiny" portion (is that a scientific measurement?) is necessary to change the climate.
Most of Antarctica is getting colder. And the Arctic is getting warmer. That's because more of the warming trends are present in the Northern hemisphere (the hemisphere with the most people).
The media didn't abandon anything, science improved by collecting and processing more and better data. That's how science works.
Global warming (actually called global climate change) has a correlative relationship to stronger hurricanes (and typhoons) according to Kerry Emanuel, a professor of atmospheric science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. He did a careful study back in 2005 that showed a direct link between sea surface temperatures and the intensity of hurricanes.
