In this photo released by the Australian Antarctic Division, the rare and spectacular nacreous cloud (top) is seen high in the stratosphere some 20 kilometers (12 miles) above Australia's Mawson station in Antarctica, on July 25, 2006. The extremely cold temperatures below minus 85 degrees Celsius (minus 121 degrees Fahrenheit) in the rarefied atmosphere show delicate Mother-of-Pearl shell colors produced when the fading light of the Antarctic sunset passed through tiny water-ice crystals blown along on a strong jet of stratospheric air.

I looked and I looked again. I couldn't find any mention at all about global warming. What's up with that AP? Didn't you get the talking points memo? /sarc

A 13 degree DROP in the temp is global warming? Must be really, really new math.

The clouds only occur at high polar latitudes in winter, requiring temperatures less than minus 176 degrees Fahrenheit This is a sign of globial warming????

Ironically, these PSCs are the very same structures implicated as necessary to the efficient stripping of the ozone-destroying chlorine and fluorine components of the otherwise harmless Freon family of refrigerants and propellants now banned from sale here in the U.S.A.

Ok,
Explain to me why it is the fault of man that the polar ice caps are melting.
Not the ones on Earth.
The ones on Mars!
The SUN is getting hotter! Look it up.

BTW we are STILL exiting an Ice Age!
