1. So what happened to the Martian Glaciers?
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (08.27.08)
Mars had plenty of glaciers according to NASA Scientists. These glaciers vanished without people...cars....and the terrible Co2 that these rabid scientists say will cause this terrible melt down. Has it ever occured to anyone that Alaska's glaciers have been melting for centuries......before automobiles were ever invented in the first place. Naturally occuring phenomenon. What a concept. People never had a thing to do with it. Alaska has dinosaur bones being dug up in Fairbanks in the interior. Since Alaska was a tropical paridise at one time with a warm tropical forest.......might it be possible that some unforseen fridgid ice box that was dropped into its lap, was meant to dissapear anyways? Just a thought.
2. cooling not warming

Ice is melting in the Arctic but it;s increasing in the Antarctic. Tests show that the oceans are cooling not warming.Less ocean water is evaporating because the suns rays are being blocked by particle polution.The earth could be cooling NOT WARMING!!!
3. The dinosaurs want to come back to their

natural habitat in the arctic anyways. How is it, these environmental alter boys, don't beg for the warm climates that preceded the Ice in the Arctic? You would think they would want the climate to adjust to its original model which was tropical. If man didn't create the ice jam....then how can he be blamed for the ice jam receding again? Who said the world doesn't have its own plans for temperature control? This area was previously hot without mans help. The ice fields melted off of the planet Mars also.Last time I heard.....man didn't live there, or have anything to do with that either. These scientists who have diefied themselves to the world.....are full of horsesh*t. They don't inform the world, that the arctic was a sweatbox, before man and the ice age ever occured there. The ice was melting before the automobile was even invented. The Hoax of the century....global melting.

5. #1 It's not people's fault? Then it's the cars' fault!

Of course. Don't blame people, blame cars. Oh, please.... Of course Earth's climate has changed dramatically many times over billions of years. What is alarming now is that change is accelerating at such a speed that we are not ready to react to it, much less adapt to it. We'll lose millions of species, some that haven't even been discovered yet, now living in forests and marine environments. We'll experience crises of food and other resources. Some, the very rich, will do OK. The rest of us, not so well... And wonderful creatures we love such as the polar bear, will be no more. Let's stop being in denial. We, humans, have caused so much damage to this planet in such a very short time that the least we can do is to acknowledge it and to make amends.
