    This is true.

    I, however, was speaking specifically of Iceland, which I knew when I posted it.

    The water has warmed, the ice is melting, things are changing. The one new element since the last ice age ended thousands of years ago is the population; us.

    Re: Intresting global warming story

    Just bringing some new info to the plate.

    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.

    Re: Intresting global warming story

    Right now for a local weather change, we've had several freezes overnight in florida, but overall it's been way warmer than a normal winter! To me it's not that it's overall colder, or warmer but that it's more unstable.

    The weather is so in flux that the temps fly up and down, and are extra hot in one region, and super cold in another. Does mean global warming is occuring? Could a overall warmer temp make more unstable weather patterns? Of course.

    I don't know if I believe man is to blame for the global warming, but I am against polluting the air, seas, and land, in any case. I don't think the US should bow to any policys from the outside however. We should be changing our ways to a greener manner for our own good, not becuase france says we be shorting out the ozone layer. If other countries make their goods cheaper but don't do any poluttion control, then we should levy fees and tariffs on their products, so they stay at a competitive price with our own home-produced goods.

    Very True.
    The Global warming is basically just that. All its going to do is make the weather more intense and more unstable. Which is bad, remember the hurricanes, that will be child's play in the future with the rate we are going.

    LOL, Idk, that looks too expensive. Rip out your insulation so your AC will run harder, and keep your Christmas lights on all year.

    It's a huge joke anyway, or should I say hoax?

    Re: Intresting global warming story

    Yeah dudes, haven't you heard?? There's no such thing as global warming. It's all a big ruse started by a bunch of fern-fondling, crystal-licking greenies. Obviously.

    I just love it when people with no clue pretend to be smart.
