Let me explain what discover magazine taught me over ten years ago about what affects global warming will have.

-The melting ice is creating a layer of fresh water over the denser salt water.
-Like lake water, ocean water flips bottom to top, bringing cold water to the surface. However, now the fresh water stays on top, so instead of bringing water up from the ocean floor, it brings it up from the, warmer, bottom of the fresh water layer. This makes ocean temperatures warmer.
-Warmer ocean temperatures cause the jet stream to drop, bringing with it, cooler Northern air.

That means, similar to the movie "The Day After Tomorrow", global warming will actually make much of the world a lot colder, especially the Central Northern US states.

Also, the sound, non-political driven, non-attention craving, science will tell you while we've had warming trends in the past, they've never happened so fast. Again, this is old news, over ten years ago Discover also reported that at the rate of rising ocean temperatures the coral reefs will likely die in 20 years, not because they haven't adapted to temperature changes in the past, but because natural selection shapes evolution over many generations which the slower warming and cooling periods allowed to happen.

Of course, the ice shelves have melted and froze in the past, but according to real life scientist who's been studying the ice shelves, NEVER have BOTH deteriorated at the SAME TIME.

So, when a person sees an unseasonably cool, or warm, day and wants to use it to qualify, or disqualify global warming, they really aren't using their brains from much more than political talk show fodder. It's unscientific, and most of all, indicative of a complacent society who lets their TV, radio, gossip magazines, and government do the thinking for them.

Discover magazine was launched by Time Inc and later purchased by Disney (Mickey Mouse outfit), both are mainstream media. Rather than rely on a single source for information, it might be best to reference others before forming an opinion. Try this link and let me know if you still believe the Global Warming Hype.
