How many tropical forests are there in the arctic? None, I guess. I don't really feel a loss at not having glaciers in the tropics. I grew up in northern Wisconsin in the 40's and 50's; my main memory is of never being warm enough in the winter. In the 70's we were told we were going back into an ice age. Winter/cold is cruel and unfriendly to life. I'm damned if I am going to feel bad about losing a tropical glacier!
