https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=playe...d&v=hC3VTgIPoGU Just found this. It's an amazing and astonishing sight to see so much ice being moved around but there's also that feeling that all of this shouldn't be happening

Thanks for the link, Ducky. It is sad to think that there are still people in the US (nearly a majority) that do not believe in global warming even with the evidence of it all around us. |

I decided to look up the historical ice cover, and indeed the northern hemisphere has been losing ice, while the southern hemisphere has been gaining ice, but at a slower rate, so overall global ice cover has been shrinking. In the last decade, the growth of Antarctican ice has started to pick up momentum, while Arctic ice continues to shrink, except in 2014 (2013 as well?), which may be an abnormally cold year. The data for 2015 and 2016 should be crucial for Arctic ice, showing whether it will continue to shrink or start growing just like its southern counterpart. http://neptune.gsfc.nasa.gov/csb/index.php?section=234 |

Thank you so much for posting that. Watching that and the allusion to southern Manhattan breaking up like that was both frightening and enlightening. It is true a majority of Americans -- and sorry to admit that a fair majority of my fellow Midwesterners -- still think climate change and global warming as crap science. Heck, these people still don't believe in evolution. I'd like to be there generations from now when their great-grandchildren can no longer raise wheat, corn, or soybeans in the American heartland. Talk about an "I told you so" moment. |
