You argue for man caused global warming by citing spontaneous generation? ."
No, I used spontaneous generation as an example of someone believing something because they
want to in the face of evidence that indicates otherwise, motovated by mythical or political reasoning.
If you want to believe something and you go surfing the internet for like opinions you can convince yourself of anything.
Instead, maybe you need to specifically debunk the thicker ice in Antarctica."
Ok:

Radar measurements of the height of the ice over parts of the continent suggest that the huge East Antarctic ice sheet grew slightly between 1992 and 2003.
A more recent study based on satellite measurements of gravity over the entire continent suggests that while the ice sheets in the interior of Antarctica are growing thicker, even more ice is being lost from the peripheries. The study concluded that there was a net loss of ice between 2002 and 2005, adding 0.4 millimetres per year to sea levels. Most of the ice was lost from the smaller West Antarctic ice sheet.
Greenland, whose ice cap holds enough water to raise sea levels by 7 metres, is also losing ice overall. Small amounts of meltwater appear to be lubricating the base of glaciers, speeding the flow of ice into the sea.
Ironically, the models found that warming would have been even more marked if the ozone layer which cuts out harmful solar radiation had not been depleted by the chlorofluorocarbon chemicals once used in aerosols.
Meanwhile, research just published in Geophysical Research Letters (DOI: 10.1029/2008GL035710) reveals that the thickness of ice in the western Arctichas plunged by around 49 centimetres - almost a fifth compared with the average reading over the previous five winters. This is the region that saw the North-West passage open in 2007.
The team behind this study, led by Katharine Giles of the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling at University College London, used reflected satellite radar pulses to deduce that the ice had thinned over the Arctic as a whole by 26 centimetres on average, about 10% of the average thickness over the previous five winters.
