we are experiencing record or near record temperatures as we speak
The 30's were the worst period as far as temperature and drought were concerned, no dispute.
However, we are experiencing a severe drought throughout the U.S., from Southwest to Northeast. Rainfall has been below normal for several years now in many places.
Snow cover on mountains has been almost nonexistent in certain years. I climbed a Colorado 14er some years back and saw that with my own eyes. My son-in-law (Kooka's brother-in-law) told me that the Rock Mountains had experienced extremely sparse snowcaps over the summers when the shouild have been covered with snow.
Less precipitation, warmer temperatures.
Shoot -- on that climb, which took all day, up and down due to my bad knees, there was no rain -- a totally sunny day, when usually good sized thunderstorms hit the moutains every afternoon (My wife and I got caught in one once, had to seek shelter in an outdoor latrine).
It is not one piece of evidence that makes a theory valid; it is several. While you might concentrate on ice flows in the Antarctic, whose increased volume really indicates that the ice sheets themselves are melting and their ice is "running" into those flows, or maybe questionable tree rings, anyone can go to the EPA or NASA websites and see data from many sources that indicate that we are indeed in a warming trend, and that there are links to such things as co2 concentrations.
