How far is "that far"? The photo doesn't show the whole story. For all we know, land is right out of view. And yes, they can swim quite some distance.

Exactly. That's why there's the eras known as "Ice ages" and "the little ice age".

What always makes me laugh is the knowledge that - in the early seventies - there was a bunch of do-gooders holding "Global Cooling" rallies. They had the signs, the rhetoric, the hate, the whole nine yards. The world was going to plummet into the frozen abyss within only a few short years and it's all our fault.

But, what has really happened is that those same protesters are the ones crying "global warming". They always jump to conclusions based on short-term trends and completely ignore long-term cycles and the fact that all of this has happened before: repeatedly. And without any Human intervention whatsoever.

What I've learned is that facts and common sense play no part in the rants of those with political motives or their blind followers. After all, "We only want to save the world". "How can such good intentions be so misguided?"
