I have been watching Planet Earth on the Discovery channel (great show, btw), and they showed a before/after comparison of the ice caps in summer compared to winter. There is like a 2000 mile (not 100% on that exact number) difference in diameter between the two. Apparently it grows and shrinks every year. |

So there is land under there? How much? |

Yes, of-course, no scientist ever thought of that! In the winter it grows back! Nobel prize for you! |

The problem is the temperture world wide gets raised. Eventually, the ice will all melt. So it is still a problem, the world is still getting warmer. |

I see no need for sarcasm, neuro. Im pretty sure i asked a question and wasnt an a-hole about it. Congrats to YOU for being SO much smarter than me. I was mostly poking fun at media reports that take advantage of the fact that most people do not know about this constant melting. |

hmm but i dont think we are that responsible really. Co2 is still a very tiny percentage, and it naturally rises anyway, its earths cycle. |

Ive heard that most qualified scientists think it is inevitable. Unfortunately, they have no plan of action, and therefore their opinions are considered worthless. |

Source please? |

I cant trust that data. A lot of those records are before globalization. Are you saying that they have completely accurate readings, within 1.8 C, from every corner of the globe? If not, the average temp could easily be skewed. |

Real? Yes. Imminate destruction of the planet and the complete anhiliation of all carbon based life forms caused by my Chevy Tahoe? Probably not. |

Wah! It's too *hard!* I can't make a difference! Better to give up without a fight I suppose. I mean since you've proven it and all. |

I leave the predicting to people who know better: scientists. I let them gather the data, and review it for myself. I look for data that is published in peer-reviewed papers, and that has a general consensus among the scientific community. Where do you get your data? You still haven't provided a source for your geologist quote. Nor have you produced a single shred of scientific study that supports your viewpoint. |

By looking at the average increase in temperture over years.... |

No, I don't think so, though people like to talk about this. Someone please show me this was the case. I was alive and well throughout the 70s, 80s, AND 90s, but don't recall this phenomena. |

It can. That happened from like 1000-1500. But if you look at the graph in inconvinient truth, it jumped. A lot. We are causing the world to heat up at an extremely rapid rate. Global warming is one of the causes of there being so many hurricanes. You can see the effects all ready. |

Good. Atleast we agree on that. You would be amazed at how many people deny that. |
