Of course, I only read about this on Newsmax. I have yet to see it mentioned in the Idaho Statesman, but I'll keep my eyes peeled.
When I was a teenager all of the environmental activists swore pollution was bringing about a new ice age. Yeah, I'm kinda old, but I'm not *that* old. :o) I remember the first Earth Day & I remember the pictures of people wearing gas masks in some American city, LA, I think. Stories of ladies nylons melting from all of the pollution air were pretty memorable.
There are still some saying that's what's happening. Here's the top google about it that I got:

I recently heard a couple of things. One, the sun is getting hotter. Not a lot hotter, but hotter. I tend to wonder how the heck we did that. Second, I heard that Mars is going through a bit of global warming. Must have something to do with those rockets we sent there or something, ya know? ;o)
Yesterday, I saw where a new glacier is growing on Mt. St. Helens and they aren't certain if it has something to do with the swarms of tremors (maybe ice/snow/water made it under the lava dome)...
