According to ice cores a major portion of the last warming took about

Did the program indicate the cause the last warming? If so, what
was it?

As I recall it's still a mystery. It was nothing like what they were
expecting to find. Unfortunately some one pressed the erase button on
the DVR and I can't go back and look at it. It should be on again. It
was the National Geographic HD channel. Impressive in wide screen,
high definition. IIRC they had two, one hour programs back to back.

Interesting thing is most predictions are based on "things at present"
but the Greenland glaciers are rapidly accelerating their movement.
Like the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica they could decide to let go.
The big difference? The Ross ice shelf was already floating, but even
at their fastest it should take the glaciers at least a few years to
slide off the land mass

With the polar albedo(sp?) changin so rapidly the temperature changes
within and near the Artic Circle are much greater (and faster) than
the rest of the world is seeing..

Thanks... I'm still on analog cable as I don't watch enough TV to
"justify" switching to HD or even digital.

Check BPS listings as those programs also show up there from time to
time.

Don't forget (if you watch off the air stations in the US) that analog
is going away Feb. 17, 2009. Coupons for Digital to analog converters
are available at https://www.dtv2009.gov/ApplyCoupon.aspx although the
boxes are not likely to be available before April of this year (and
the coupons are only good for 90 days)

yep - on it. I haven't decided exactly what to do yet... and of course
RCN isn't saying how much longer they will continue analog cable.

Depending on what you watch, the new HD sets have great pictures on
National Geographic, and other documentaries. Although not cheap, I
could purchase a 50" LCD for about what my folks paid for one of the
early color sets, and get a 40" (all we have room for) for one whale
of a lot less. The new ones have way higher definition than this 22"
wide screen monitor for my computer I purchased well less than a year
ago. Come to think of it, that old color console TV had a smaller
screen than this monitor too. And we thought it was big, which it was
back then. Course I had more hair, a LOT more hair back then too.
:-)) sigh
