Global Warming is very real (obviously). The reason why we are only hearing about its effects in Antartica and areas of large glaciers and not here (in our backyards sorta speak) is simple and is somewhat recently discovered. The ice in Antartica (and in other glaciers that contains ice that is 1000s of years old) contains frozen carbon, which when melted goes in the air and creates the green house effect. What we ,carbon emissons wise, did was give a lil nudge, a nudge that is now creating a snowball effect in those said areas. Sooo basically, what is happenin in Antartica and other places like it, is just a taste of whats in store for us in the future.
Yeah, I know I watch waayyy too much Discovery channel.
