Global warming and new paddlesports
HI Folks,
There's an article in the newest issue of Science, perhaps the pre-eminent
scientific journal in the world, about global warming, that talks about its
effects and establishes further evidence of human-caused climate change.
My understanding of current literature is that folks dependent on glacial
melt for their water supplies will be some of the hardest hit-- because
there aren't gonna be any glaciers.

If you call it "global warming" whenever something melts, then I
suppose that would have to be true.
Hi Mary,
I can't base my own comments on any personal scientific knowledge, but
I do have to at least consider the findings of people who really do
study these things, and perhaps have a better scientific
understanding than I do. The unusually large chunks of ice breaking
off of Antarctica are interesting to ponder.
By the way...I was able to reliably rule out global warming when my
beloved Godiva Belgian Dark Chocolate ice cream began to melt at an
alarming rate the other day, because we had a storm blow through,
which effectively disabled my electricity for several hours. :-(
