"The evidence is piling up; everything fits," Dr. Robert Thomas, a glaciologist from NASA who is the lead author of a recent paper on accelerating sea-level rise, said as the Chilean Navy plane flew over the sea ice here on an unusually clear day late in November. "Around the Amundsen Sea, we have surveyed a half dozen glaciers. All are thinning, in some cases quite rapidly, and in each case, the ice shelf is also thinning."


Does anyone think global warming is not happening? Is it because of human made polution or just a natural progression in nature. Maybe a natrual progression helped by humans?

There's a natural process to it, sure. That isn't to say we haven't done anything to screw ourselves royally. Whatever happened to worrying about the ozone and running out of natural resources? Now there's a real issue that should probably be addressed before scientists try to 'correct' the earth's axis shifting or anything stupid like that.

'Global' warming seems to be the wrong term to use, though. It's not the entire world that's going up in flames. Some parts are going to end up in a new ice age, too. Up here in Canada City it's getting colder every year, with longer winters. Every time I go outside, I wonder to myself how I survived the weather last year, or the year before. I'm getting nostalgiac for the years I was able to actually enjoy being out in the snow. Nowadays you'll get frostbitten if you're out there for five minutes.

I don't see anything as drastic as in "The Day After Tomorrow". Hopefully we can predict these changes and get out of the way before we're run over by a glacier. We've gotta be smarter than the last species to get wiped out by a climate change, right?

Global Warming is happening, the North&South Poles are shrinking, iceburgs are breaking up and starting to melt(there's one off the Newfoundland coast breaking up)wacky weather all over the world, I'd say it's to little to late to reverse this.
