If nobody gets mad about it, I'll give my own little theory: the last ice age is still ending. It's been ending for thousands of years and we have reached a tipping point where the remnants are disappearing pretty quickly. That makes more sense to me than the idea that the -- at most -- 2 degree change in temperature over the last century can melt all that ice. Could it really have a huge effect if the average temperature is minus 20 instead of minus 22? Or whatever the actual average is -- does a couple of degrees change matter? Or what other theory makes sense to you?

Finally, the article that proves it is all a hoax. I guess the question remains why is the ice melting?
My understanding from past list administrator statements is that this kind
of post is "okay" here.

Hacked emails from the Climatic Research Unit (Britain's University of East Anglia) appear to implicate leading climatologists with scientific fraud.
