In the whole schemes of things, the length of a human life is so short, so inconsequential that it is amusing for people to think that they will witness a major planetary event in their lifetimes. It is even more amusing to watch people to go to the polls and "vote" for a planetary change. Joe Is it not equally amusing to think that we may, in fact, be witnessing a major climatic event and our skepticism causes us to ignore it? ted

Personally, I find it quite amusing when scientists come out with their usual cautious discussions of uncertainties, and the ax-grinding commentators immediately jump on any admission of uncertainty as proof that nothing bad is happening. As I posted originally, the Arctic icecap story has been developing for a year at least. I'll look up some stories when I get the chance, but I assure you that by all indications it's not some random current fluctuation that happened to open a crack at the North pole. Cheers, Dan.
