Uh... I don't know about that. How much of a temperature rise was there in the last fifty years? Actually, we haven't had a measurable rise on a global scale in 100 years. We've had some strong local swings, however. New York has gone up over 5 degrees average. Vienna has gone down. Over the last 20 years, ice has thickened everywhere in Antarctica *except* the Ross ice shelf, where it's thinning (guess what part gets the air play). The weirdest guy I've heard is the clown who argues that the Greenland ice cap will melt over the course of the next 1,000 years. The thing is, most of the media people run that as a straight story -- only they leave off the "next 1,000 years" part and follow it up with a crack about "better sell your beachfront property". NPR at least ran it straight. George Patterson There's plenty of room for all of God's creatures. Right next to the mashed potatoes. |
