Micko, the pollies pay the scientists and the scientists are clueless. I'll ignore Sonia as she hasnt offered any basis for her comments, reality is, nothing is changing, sea levels are not higher (could be the british isles are sinking, that'd make more sense) and ice still shrinks when it melts, hey, maybe that's why we are having droughts, the polar caps are melting, and the sky is falling. I'm a little tired of this thread, I think I'll leave it alone now.
