OSLO (Reuters) - Natural swings in the Arctic climate have caused up to half the precipitous losses of sea ice around the North Pole in recent decades, with the rest driven by man-made global warming, scientists said on Monday.
The study indicates that an ice-free Arctic Ocean, often feared to be just years away, in one of the starkest signs of man-made global warming, could be delayed if nature swings back to a cooler mode.
Natural variations in the Arctic climate "may be responsible for about 30–50 percent of the overall decline in September sea ice since 1979," the U.S.-based team of scientists wrote in the journal Nature Climate Change.
Sea ice has shrunk steadily and hit a record low in September 2012 -- late summer in the Arctic -- in satellite records dating back to 1979.

Not sure what to call your fallacy... skeptic science fallacy? Those are all good questions to ask, but I suspect this is simply your own research failures paired with a lack of understanding. Here is the quick and dirty result: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_feedback#Negative [wikipedia.org]
Since you are so concerned, and obviously making bold assumptions with no evidence, then why don't you be the person to put the list together? Put in some time after work, gather the data, email the researchers. Let us know if they all fail to provide what you're looking for, but come back empty handed and prepare to be dismissed. Your post is basically just a big conspiracy rant similar to the "no stars" in the moon pictures argument.
