I want to relate to you a small piece that I once happened upon in the NYT, roughly around 2005-2008 or so. In this two-paragraph tidbit it was related that scientists had struggled to find why Antarctica was cooling during a period of what was then called "global warming."
The second paragraph said the answer had been found: using computer models, it was found that all the places in Antarctica that weren't being measured actually were warming.
(In 2002 the Ozone hole was thought to be the reason for Antarctica's cooling, which would correspond well with this article - that aerosols cool the atmosphere. By 2009 satellite data "showed conclusively" that all of Antarctica was indeed warming, and the idea that it had ever been cooling was "debunked."
I think these people just know a whole lot less about it than they say they do.
