#1 "Melting ice sheets and glaciers in Antarctica are releasing fresh water,"

BOGUS! Antarctica is GAINING ice, not losing it. Sure, some of the ice shelves have broken up a bit, but they always do once they extend out too far into open water. They break off and it starts again. Overall, Antarctica and Greenland are gaining ice thickness, not losing it.

#2 Darn. I was hoping to see what was under the Antarctic ice in my lifetime.

#3 Ah, Crosspatch, but what happens when the icebergs drift farther north? They melt. So the article is completely correct. [wag]

#4 Gary, your Samoyed friends have mislead you. Everyone knows it is impossible for fire to melt steel.

Is this adding to global warming, or is it gonna be ignored by AlGoracle?

#7 Don't be silly, DarthVader. By the very act of acquiring the information and printing it in a paper newspaper (we won't even mention the cost of maintaining a web page), this contributes to the increase of all sorts of dreadful things that harm the delicate Gaia who shelters us all. ;-)

#8 I think Congress needs to pass legislation ~~taxing~~ regulating this underwater current.

#11 OTOH, SPACE WAR > SPACE DAILY > IRRIGATION MAY NOT COOL THE GLOBE. No matter how good, widespread, or perfect the system. Time to force the SUN to surrender to the OWG Nuremburg Global Environ Court by sending a Sun/Star-destroying missle up its disc [Star Trek:Next Generation movie]??? All together now, SAVE THE EARTH/PLANET - DESTROY THE SUN, D *** NG IT!

#13 2x4

At a party, you impress the goils by standing straight up but slightly turned away from the group.. next "un-zip"... then with your right hand in the proper position down at your fly, flip out about 1/2 dozen ice cubes on the floor!
