When the Larsen B Ice Shelf in Antarctica collapsed in 2002, the event appeared to be a sudden response to climate change, and this long, fringing ice shelf in the north west part of the Weddell Sea was assumed to be the latest in a long line of victims of Antarctic summer heat waves linked to Global Warming.

Which "victims" and which "heat waves" would those be? And even IF Antarctica is melting, why is that such a bad thing? Seems like the melting ice sheets and rising temperatures (provided that you believe this crap) would free up a bunch of prime real estate. The same goes for up north in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Iceland.

Not to mention the extended growing season which equals more food and cheaper food, wine grapes being grown in northern climates like Scotland, etc, just like the last time we had a global warm up during the Medieval Warming Period.....
