Well considering we’re actually heading into a solar minimum (FACT) North America might freeze pretty hard for the next 20 years.
To: umgud
Might be another ice age, might be we turn into a burning ball of fire.
Either way, much more research funding is needed or else we will all die.

I think this article is about 40 years old.
Or, maybe it's just deja vu, like when I have forever had these visions of being on the receiving end of a drone strike as far back as I can remember. ( pre drone are even) Whooaaa!
Alternative realities are quite fun to speculate on.

“Im surprised it hasnt tipped over already with all that ice on it.”
Actually, I remember years ago there was a theory that the ice on the north pole was going to get so heavy it would move the earth’s axis and NY would wind up where FL is.

The reason they focus on Antarctica and not the Artic is that most of the ice is on the land mass which if it melted would indeed add to the volume of water in the ocean. Ice in the Artic is already floating so if it melts the ocean level doesn’t change. The problem with this theory is that the average temperature in Antarctica is -50 degrees F. Not much melting going to happen unless the average temperature goes up 90 degrees.

“Might” being the keyword. The Earth might also change orbits and spin closer to the Sun and melt. I might almost win the lottery. Somebody might buy me a new Harley.

Here's a terrifying graphic that shows just how rapidly the Antarctic sea ice is vanishing.

Ice on the pole and our dams holding water where Gayia don’t want it, and Americans getting too fat.

I don’t understand the mockery of this important beer reviewed study. This paper is the work of Scientists and is really really series.

Think of all the new polar real estate that would be exposed.
A whole new continent there for the exploiting. And no pesky indigenous human population to feel guilty about displacing!

I checked Rush’s home page. The countdown to Al Gore’s predicted firestorm date is at 136 days.
