THE North and South Poles are not melting, according to a leading global warming expert. In fact, the poles are much more stable than climate scientists once predicted and could even be much thicker than previously thought. For years, scientists have suggested that both poles are melting at an alarming rate because of warming temperatures dangerously raising the Earths sea levels while threatening the homes of Arctic and Antarctic animals.
But the uncertainty surrounding climate change and the polar ice caps reached a new level this month when research suggested the ice in the Antarctic is actually growing.
And there could even be evidence to suggest the polar bear population is not under threat.
Ted Maksym, an oceanographer at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, conducted a study in which he sent an underwater robot into the depths of the Antarctic sea to measure the ice. . .

Al-Goracle will be very disappointed with this news.

“Normal is Chicago under a mile of ice.” (unknown)
I suppose we could live with that. Excellent conditions for the NHL Winter Classic! :)
