Not All Scientist Believe In Global Warming

The ice caps most likely play an important role in the oceans. Life on Earth could be drastically affected when the ice caps melt away. Don't make it seem like there is no reason to be worried.

That said, we can't do a damn thing about it. So smoke 'em if you've got 'em.

I've heard they are melting some and some say they have even grown sense the 1970's. Where have you seen that ice the size of a small countries are floating away?

There have been several recent sighting of large flows breaking away in the news in the past year. Plus, there have been some fairly startling pictures of the retreat of year round ice on several mountains (I think Kilimanjaro in Africa is one of them).

I don't have the links but will post'em if I can find'em.

I read an article on Kilimanjaro as well recently. It claims that the rampant deforestation of the immediate and surrounding area's are responsible. It has caused the ground temp to rise because the sun now reaches the ground without any tree's, and............interesting

Watch Al Gore's movie and you will see them.

Yeah, because movies are more trustworthy than scientists.

Especially movies made by insane people.

I love how every time Gore goes somewhere to speak about his global warming theories and how it's my fault, it's always abnormally snowing or cold. He spoke in New York a few years ago and they had a record blizzard when his speech was scheduled. In Boston, he "brought" record low temps for an event. He went to Australia last year and it snowed for the first time in decades for his speaking engagement.

I think that shows who's in charge of the weather...God. He also has a great sense of humor!

Here are a couple of articles...

"Since 1979, the size of the summer polar ice cap has shrunk more than 20 percent."
NRDC: Global Warming Puts the Arctic on Thin Ice

"The ice on the Upsala Glacier today...is retreating at least 180 ft. per year"

I clicked onto your first site and they circle where ice was but if you look to the left it looks like they forgot the new ice that has formed. I read its melting, getting thicker, is growing etc.. I guess one day we will find out if it happening or not. I know they said in the 70s that we where told abou global cooling.

Yep.

Timeline of the EnvironMENTAList movement:

1960s - Hey man...pass that over here, dude...
1970s - It's COLD!
1980s - Hey, a volcano!
1990s - It's HOT!
2000s - No, it's not hot, it's cold, now it's hot, now...hey...we'll call it CLIMATE CHANGE to keep getting taxpayer-funded grants so we don't have to get real jobs!

To the left all I saw was blue water and siberia.

If you are referring to the large lump of white to the right, that's Greenland - Two things about Greenland - (1) it doesn't count as part of the arctic ice cap and (2) being an island it doesn't melt.
