  How to talk to a climate skeptic

  I'm pleased to see some reasonable responses to that web site...

  Are Glaciers Melting?

  Yes, but many are growing. An the "alraming melting" is nothing new.

  Evidence that Antartica is shrinking

  Can anybody point me to something that shows the opposite (from a reputable source)?

  Here is an example showing it's basically not happenning, or at least it's just not clear. As you can see, climate measurement is a complex undertaking, climate prediction is exponentially harder.

  I also recommend you read http://www.independent.org/newsroom/article.asp?id=152 

  But all this proves little about climate change or about enhanced greenhouse warming. For this purpose we use instruments: thermometers at weather stations, radiosondes carried into the atmosphere by weather balloons twice daily and, of course, Earth-circling weather satellites, that sense atmospheric temperatures remotely. And all of these agree that the polar regions have not warmed appreciably in recent decades.
  
  Climate models do call for a warming trend as levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide rise because of the burning of fossil fuels. Hence the dilemma: Do we believe theoretical models of the atmosphere or the atmosphere itself? I prefer to believe in the atmosphere and the actual observations that show no current warming. If this clashes with the accepted popular wisdom and media hype, so be it. I go with published data.
  
  The Earth did warm between about 1900 and 1940, with the climate recovering from a previous cold period that climate experts refer to as the Little Ice Age. As a result of these changes, which have nothing to do with human influences, it is warmer now than it was 100 years ago. This has had an influence on polar ice, which has been slowly thinning, as it melts from beneath. And the ice will continue to thin for some time to come even though the climate is no longer warming. Moral: It takes a lot of time to melt ice.
