The increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation.

Recognize that?   It's a definition of Global Warming.   Yes, it is obvious and clear that "the average temperature" of this planet has been increasing in the short-term.

Or as the IPCC puts it in one of their Summary for Policy Makers:
Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is  now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level
If it smells, tastes and looks like it's warming up, is there any reason to try and deny it?

Ah, eBay sellers, yes.

So what is up with all these people trying to sell game manuals, DVD artwork and cases for five, ten, or twenty dollars?    Yes, no game, no DVD, just empty cases or only booklets, for perhaps $3 with $3.99 shipping and what have you?

I suppose some people might want to have a complete game or movie, but it really just seems like worthless clutter that will never sell unless somebody buys it on accident.    Perhaps to drive sales to the real products?
