Many environmentalists say that storms will be more violent, yet there has been no real increase in storm activity over the past 100 years. Environmentalists(especially Al-Gore) will often cut graphs off at 1970 or slightly earlier to support their case, but take a look at data for the last 100 years.

The percentage of tropical cyclones which touch land has decreased

Global warming has had no effect on the amount of major Atlantic hurricanes

The number of severe tornadoes has not been increasing either

Unlike many environmentalists will tell you there have been higher insurance losses because of hurricanes in the past.

The melting of ice is nothing new, it started in the early 1800s


I don't buy global warming's consequences. It seems everyone wants to blame global warming for the world's problems when in fact the problems having nothing to do with global warming.
Science pretty much agrees with you on all you're links except the last one. Is that last image/graph of one glacier or all the glaciers? It would not surprise me if one glacier does not match the CO2 trend. It would surprise me if none of the glaciers match the trend. It would help if you linked to the stories instead of just the graphs.
