I say BS!

If I'm not mistaken, most of the Antarctic is a floating ice mass.

Fill a glass with water and ice to the brim and when the ice melts you still only have a glass filled to the brim with water. It does not overflow....

Hmmm. That word suggests that this is based not on observation of evidence on ancient coastlines but on more computer modeling crap. I agree (and fervently hope) that we still have some more warming and sea level rise left in this interglacial period, but eight meters sounds way too much, and the fact that this is timed with Copenhagen suggests this is more politics than science.

No, of course they didn’t, silly - they had nuclear power plants at their secret locations, and later joined forces with the Knights Templar using their huge fortunes to build descent space ships, and together blew the join for greener pastures - which is why the Vikings, the Templars and their tresure dissapeared.

Damn...just damn...all along I thought it was aliens that did it.

Al Gore is going to go down in history as one of the biggest frauds of all time...but it won't happen until after I'm dead and gone, unless I live to be 100.

Alternatively, I plan on being around in 2015, one year after Al Gore's prediction as to the Arctic being ice-free in 2014.

They’re booking ice-free Arctic cruise ships as we speak... hurry - cabins are going fast.

But why don’t they mention that sealevel was 350 feet lower during the last ice age?

They don't want to admit that our "Native Americans" may not be native, but actually crossed over from Asia?

Who really knows?
