And considering the warming trend and the ability of antarctic ice shelves to fall off into the ocean (possibly creating more "sea ice")... how long do you think smaller chunks will last?

The ice shelves are what matter... they're the biggest mass with the largest surface area, and they're responsible for reflecting back a lot of sunlight. When they're gone, we roast.

Also, considering you keep referring to "An Inconvenient Truth" I'll assume you watched it, have you considered the fact that all of the glaciers in the movie have actually disappeared / largely disappeared?

Ice that is tens of thousands of years old shouldn't be disappearing within a hundred years. It's not right. We ARE amping up the temperature of this planet and nothing good will come of it.

please reread the previous post.... the bold sections are the actual quotes... sorry if i didn't get the info off the internet propaganda machine. science journals tend to mean more.

trust me these guys know allot more then me... feel free to look anyone of the listed names up on http://www.411.com and ask them. I've read the book, and read allot of similar subjected material... these people have allot more education then all the Al Gores on climatology. but believe what you want and remember all the other doomsday scenarios i mentioned before... so whats more likely, that the world is slowly over heating at the rate of 1.25 degrees per 150 year (based on the temperature reading ability of ole farmer clems great great great grand father and his 1857 thermometer) or this is just the next thing they are screaming that the sky is falling.... remember the Ozone....

i personally refuse to worry about thinks that (1.) might not be real in the first place and (2) if it is real the world is gonna do what the world does.... keep on spinning.
