If you do your homeowrk you will learn that the planet goes through ice ages periodicaly. But what most people DON'T KNOW is that we are STILL IN ONE! Albeit we are in the tail end of the last one, look at when the dinosaurs lived...the WHOLE PLANET was a tropical place, that is why in SIBERIA they have found frozen remnants of tropical plants. So if the polar caps are indeed melting (which I am sure they are) then it is supposed to happen, I guess we might be accelrating this phenomenon a bit though. But all in all this is what our planet does, it goes through cycles. Big freakin deal, just don't by beachfront....duh.
P.S. Read "A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson.
The ebook is on limewire...but you didn't hear it from me
