    "We're smashing a record that smashed a record," center scientist Walt Meier said.

    In the 1980s, he said, summer sea ice would cover an area a bit smaller than the Lower 48 states. Now it is about half that.

    A report from the National Snow and Ice Data Center shows the Arctic's melting ice is resulting in the lowest sea ice levels since satellites started tracking the measurements in 1979. The difference between this year's low and that of 2007 is 293,000 square miles, about the size of Texas.


    Man made climate change or not, the fact is we need a world wide environmental revolution to support the world's growing population.

    And only a SlyPokerDogging SlyPokerDog would deliberately add theology to an already volatile thread topic. :D

    So the ice is actually expanding, just in different areas? LOL

    To me, all this stuff still boils down to good stewardship. While I don't necessarily get caught up in the ins and outs of so-called global warming, I still try to be responsible about the ways I go about my life and business....in this case, as it relates to my individual carbon footprint. (conserving energy, becoming more cognizant of various items that I purchase, generating less waste, etc.. etc.)

    sea ice melting should actually lower the sea levels, because the ice is expanded when frozen and underwater and displacing the seas volume

    everyones beach front property will actually be a mile inland, and offshore oil rigs will be a thing of the past

    I'll compare my monthly living expenses to yours any day of the week. In fact, you'd be amazed by how practically I live my life. I'm about as low-cost, low-maintenance as they come.....without being a cheapskate, that is. :pimp:

    Oh, and all this was before I met my so-called sugar mama. :lol:

    Nope, all we have to do is change the conversation.

    I'll take your word for it, ABM, but all of those heat-generating bedroom activities will have to be curtailed. ;)
