During the last period of "global warming," no doubt?

It snowed in central Florida last night. Next thing we know, cats and dogs will be sleeping together.

The last time icebergs were reported off New Zealand's coast was in the 1930s.Does anyone know what George W. Bush and Karl Rove were up to back then?

Too many icebergs? Global Warming.
Too few icebergs? Global Warming.

We better get serious about global warming and melt those buggers before there's another Titanic.

Not to worry:
High-resolution studies of North Atlantic deep sea cores demonstrate that prominent increases in iceberg calving recurred at intervals of 2000 to 3000 years, much more frequently than the 7000-to 10,000-year pacing of massive ice discharges associated with Heinrich events. The calving cycles correlate with warm-cold oscillations, called Dansgaard-Oeschger events, in Greenland ice cores. Each cycle records synchronous discharges of ice from different sources, and the cycles are decoupled from sea-surface temperatures. These findings point to a mechanism operating within the atmosphere that caused rapid oscillations in air temperatures above Greenland and in calving from more than one ice sheet.

Just think of the money you could make selling all that melted iceberg to the yuppies. Gourmet water.

I'm sure the Dems have an explanation of why this is attributable to global warming... Probably along the lines of "The icecap in Antarctica is breaking up" or something like that.

"Fishing boats are reporting icebergs..."
That seems like a bigger story than the icebergs. I did not even know that a fishing boat could talk.

ICE BERGS?
I wonder if the Titanic passengers were the first victims of Global Warming?
In the end, it was poetic justice I guess. Imagine the CO footprint of the Titanic. I shudder to think! Thank god it went down!
