Hehe!! Typical. I take it you don't believe the 100's of thousands of
research pages that say otherwise? Hehe!!!
Research pages, hell. All it takes a slight amount of common sense.

Some say that the poles are gong to melt and the sea is going to cover

most of the water in question is locked as ice at -50degrees so that an

to melt. It makes you think.
Ever heard of the concept of 'thermal mass'?
Anyway, there are hundreds of reports in the past few years of average sea
level rising. Meaningless, right? What's a few inches here or there?
Now think for a second... any reports *at all* of sea levels dropping?
Hundreds of glaciers all over the world shrinking... ice melting, in other
words... in some cases by a little, in some cases by a lot. Any reports
*at all* of glaciers growing?
If these were just random events, you'd expect as much evidence one way as
the other. Instead, *all* the evidence is slanted one way...
It's a treasonous plot by those dadgum America-hating libby-rulls and the
liberal biased media, that's what it is!

The plot is the end of the world scenarios that are being put out as truth.
While I have posted that I believe that we might see an increase in the
average global temperature from greenhouse gases, some climate shifts in
marginal regions (a couple of inches less rain here and a couple of inches
more rain there) the doom scenarios require too much change in global
temperatures. Glaciers and Ice packs that were created during the last mini
ice age (due to the sun) 1000 years ago that have been melting at a steady
rate for the last 500 years (as the sun heats up) have accelerated their
melt. These areas were already melting and an increase of 1 degree has a
massive impact. It's been predicted that using the worst possible model
that within 50 years if all that ice melts the seas will rise 2 1/2 feet.
( The poles will still have ice caps as that ice is at -50 degrees).
It's more probable that the following will happen. Plant life will
flourish, 20 years from now the supplies of fossil fuels will become too
expensive and we will shift to other forms of energy. Less carbon dioxide
will be produced but the plant life will be converting more carbon dioxide
than is being produced leading to a short term swing to LESS carbon dioxide
in the air. We will then have a global cool down that will cause global
temperatures to drop below what we have today. The seas will start to
recede from the 8-10 inch increase at that point.
What you are thinking is who does this guy think he is, that's alot of
bull****. BUT what I described is more likely than what we have been
hearing from France and our press. ANYONE making wild speculations about
the future SHOULD BE treated with skepticism.
