Did you hear that the North Pole may completely disappear this summer? Did you ever hear that the earths weather is dynamic?

Quick, the sky is falling. Don't panic-----change is constant-----that was built into the formation of the earth and the Universe. Live with it. And I don't mean Obama's leftist-socialist change.

lololol, it's a cycle, in fact we have been cooling for the last 9 years. It's been a lot warmer in the past and the polar bears have survived. Did you think about how they have survived for the last 5 millions years ?? Or didn't that make you 'feel good'

Not so. You have no faith in nature's resiliency. Polar bears can survive just fine by exploiting different food sources.

British government ‘to pull troops out of Iraq by mid-2009’Michael Smith The government is aiming to pull the vast majority of British troops out of Iraq by the middle of next year, defence sources have revealed. While there are no plans to withdraw before George W Bush hands over to the new American president at the turn of the year, the decision is now expected to be made “in the first half of 2009”. Only troops training Iraqi military or police and special forces are likely to stay, unless there is a sharp change for the worse. In an indication of Britain’s keenness to withdraw, Des Browne, the defence secretary, emphasised last week that Iraqi troops were better able to keep southern Iraq peaceful than British soldiers.

There is the possibility that the entire universe may disappear this summer. They are starting up a particle accelerator. It has something to do with that. You should look into this. Both poles would be gone if that happens. BTW in case you didn't know a pole is the central point around which things spin. If you have a top you can try spinning it and watch how it works. Poles also disappear when the thing stops spinning, so if the Earth stopped going around you could lose your pole as well. Usually both poles go at once. The reason we have a North Pole and a South Pole is completely arbitrary. North and South don't really exist, it is just a linguistic convenience invented to differentiate between the two ends. Light and Dark are similar constructs. You really ought to get a top out and play with it. You can learn a lot of stuff through playtime.
