Currently the glaciers are retreating at an alarming pace, and huge pieces
of Antartica are breaking off much more frequently than in the recent past.
However, this will probably reverse when we get to the tipping point.

I disagree. This present heat spell is not the long term trend.

I predict a cooling trend and a new ice age. When the
glacier start advancing, remember you heard it from me first.

The core samples indicate that the earth has been both much hotter and
much colder in the past than it has been for the last 6,000 years. There
are cycles of very cold and very hot. We are entering a hot cycle.
Burning fossil fuels adds to the problem. However, burning fossil fuels
is to global warming as a good **** is to the ocean.

If you want to save the World, turn your efforts towards determining how
the World can survive the extreme heat that is inevitable.
