There has been a noticable difference, but it could be a trend that will reverse itself, only I think polar ice takes longer to freeze up again. There is no way that anyone can say whether it will progress into an ice age, certainly there is a likelihood that Europe could face a severe winter like they get in Canada sometimes.

I just saw an arial photograph of that large chunk of ice breaking away from the antarctic shelf, and it really does look like it is melting.

I have been to both the arctic and antarctic several times...burgs are a natural occurance, and have been since the beginning of recorded history. THe earth climate zones are an ever changing thing.....it just takes many eons for it to happen. We are on the cusp of another solar cycle....that will have some effect also.

There is an awful lot of this stuff that is made up by folks that stand to make a profit from it, and/or folks that are supposed to be educated, yet still don't have the common sense that GOD gave a brass doorknob. If presented properly you can feed shit filled Twinkys to *MOST* of the general public and liberal press all you want and they gulp it down like they were starving.

I'm afraid that science has been corrupted by the almighty dollar.
