Global warming? B.S. We already have record breaking cold weather, one of the coldest years recorded, more rain and snow. If anything, the ice caps will probably grow this year because of the colder yearly climate over all.
Just wait till spring. We are going to have flooding like we have never seen before, due in part to the ground having been saterated at freeze up, water tables at their max levels, and 10 times more snow than normal, with much more yet to fall. There is nowhere for this water to go.
Because the ground was saturated at freeze up, the frost and ice is deep into the soil, which is going to take much longer to thaw. Areas more north will most likely see a growth further to the south of the permafrost. If We have another below average cold summer season, the polar ice caps will no doubt grow. Another cause of this will be because of all this water we will have this spring, with flows north diluting the salinity of the arctic waters, which will then freeze at a higher temperature.
All the "save the polarbear" groups will be out of luck trying to suck people out of their money.
