Oh for more fun do this. Check out the "Top 10 Surprising Results of Global Warming", link at the bottom of the article. Number 3 cracked me up big time as an ameteur geologist.

...the Alps and other mountain ranges have experienced a gradual growth spurt over the past century or so thanks to the melting of the glaciers atop them. For thousands of years, the weight of these glaciers has pushed against the Earth's surface, causing it to depress. As the glaciers melt, this weight is lifting, and the surface slowly is springing back. Because global warming speeds up the melting of these glaciers, the mountains are rebounding faster.

Neat theory, but how about them plate techtonics.

so, does the first guy that climbed the Matterhorn get an asterisk by his name cause it wasn’t as tall then as it is now ?
