I read another story that it is to be expected the polar ice caps will be thicker if the earth is warming.Moral of the story: No matter what the data shows - and no matter what you said 6 months earlier - whatever I say now MEANS the earth is warming. You should not lose confidence in what you are told just because it is the exact opposite of what I said was scientific fact last year.As the President said: The debate is over!It's over - and if you will send trillions of dollars to companies that Al Gore owns, we will say the U S is doing their part to pay for their damage to the earth - until we up that ante the next year
