"The arctic from 1999 to 2008 is now the warmest it has been in 2,000 years." I saw that article, they got the info from tree rings, lolololol. I guess it was those floating trees

As long as it's sea ice, it won't cause the oceans to rise. As the two artic's land ice melts, the oceans will rise dramatically. Once the sea ice is gone, it will happen very rapidly. Use this interactive map to see what it will mean for YOUR area: geology.com

Koan, > I guess you saw my post that the volume of older crucial sea ice in the arctic shrunk by 57% from 2004 to 2008. This ice will not be replaced and is a very dangerous sign. I've seen reports of global temperatures falling by a few degrees over the past decade. Some of the "experts" are claiming that this is only temporary and that global warming will resume its course. Who really knows for sure how we are affecting the environment and how we can minimize our "footprint" on it? Six billion humans on this planet are going to have an impact on it, there's no doubt about that. But most the stuff we try to do in the name of reversing global warming is either silly or has tons of unintended consequences. For example, the rising demand for biofuels is causing Brazil to cultivate millions of acres of land. Unfortunately they're destroying rainforest in the process, which is counterintuitive from an environmental perspective, but hey, Brazillians need to make money, do they not? As for hydro power, I'll never forget back in 2000 when Al Gore was leaning toward breaching hydroelectric dams in the Pacific Northwest because they were killing salmon. Well geez, up until then I thought hydro power was 100% clean. Now what, we have to build windmills and solar panels to compensate? There's just too much craziness when it comes to environmentalism. No matter what we do, we're just going to mess up the environment one way or another. Not that we shouldn't try to clean up after ourselves, but to turn this minimalization into an obsession is counterproductive. Tenchusatsu
