An iceberg floats in the bay in Kulusuk, Greenland near the arctic circle in this Aug. 16, 2005 file photo. British oceanographers reported in Dec. 2005 that Atlantic currents carrying warm water toward northern Europe have slowed. Freshwater from melting northern ice caps and glaciers is believed interfering with saltwater currents. Ultimately such a change could cool the European climate. (AP Photo/John McConnico/File)

The shy is falling! The sky is falling!!
FACT: The earth's climate was once far warmer than it is today. At one time there were lions and hippotamuses in England.
The world didn't come to an end and the glaciers returned.
If the author of this piece believes it, he should by ocean-side property in Siberia now and make a killing in the future.

They forgot the most important part - We didn't cause it and we can't stop it!

The computer climate model didn't consider some natural factors that tend to keep the permafrost cold HELLO?!! What a worthless study!

If oil comes from decomposing dinosaurs, there must have been lots of white dinosaurs on the North Slope in the old days.

The last thing we need is trees growing in Alaska! Ever try drilling for oil with tree roots in the way? ;-)

Primative whales used to swim in what is now the Sahara. The whole planet used to be fairly tropical. Life changes, and it will not abide the idiots who want a permanent unchanging paradise.
