isopatch, RE: the arctic thunderstorms. You've saved me some milling around in the ole books and given me the direction: "One that sticks in my craw is Ewing & Donn's Theory." Yup, increased storm energy from increased sea level causes ice age. Wouldn't that be ironic if all the news about global warming turns out to be predicting an ice age instead, ggg. This is one weather scenario I can really take my time playing with. After all, should have at least a century or two. Best Regards, Roebear

OT - polar ice cap. Here's a question to stump all your green friends. If the entire ice cap at the North Pole melts, the whole shebang, how much would sea level rise? Typical answers may be a few to hundreds of feet. The real answer? (drumroll please.....) Not one millimeter. The ice cap at the North Pole is floating like a giant ice cube. If it melts the amount of mass released to the sea is exactly the same as the amount of water displaced to float the ice - net change zippo. You can try it yourself with a glass of ice water if you don't believe it. Almost nobody believes this, and they generally get mad and think you're an anti-green nut - so try at your own risk. Sharp
