Sixteen months of study led Copland and colleagues to the conclusion
that several factors were at work, mostly related to global warming.
"Now there are five," Copland said. In the past hundred years, he
added, Canada's ice shelves have shrunk by 90 percent.

Duh! Now you done it, Joe. Every nut job environmentalist extremist is gonna
jump on the global warming band wagon. But, guess what happened one hundred
years ago.
It was towards the end of the "little ice age" which lasted several hundred years.
This little ice age allowed abnormal ice to build up. Now that the little ice age has
ended it's totally normal for the ice to get back to normal. But the global warming
people will say see I told you so. Global warming. The poles are melting. That's
bunk. They're using the little ice age as the norm and it wasn't. It was an ice age
where it was colder and ice built up. Stupid people will buy into their crap, though.
Al Gore is their hero.
