"I know this concept really hurts most of your heads, but here it is.

There is no god. There is no plan to life. You will NOT be punished for what you did in life, nor will you be rewarded.

You are not here for any purpose, other then to live and evolve. Nothing more, nothing less."

One thing that shits me more than outspoken Christians is morons like you who like thrusting their opinions on others. You sound pretty sure of yourself. Where did that come from? Only child?

Antarctic Ice Is Growing, Not Melting Away, At Davis Station 633

Posted by timothy on Saturday April 18, 2009 @05:13PM from the weather-is-what-you-get dept.

schwit1 writes "A report from The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research says that Antarctic ice is growing, not melting away. Ice core drilling in the fast ice off Australia's Davis Station in East Antarctica by the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Co-Operative Research Centre shows that last year, the ice had a maximum thickness of 1.89m, its densest in 10 years. The average thickness of the ice at Davis since the 1950s is 1.67m. A paper to be published soon by the British Antarctic Survey in the journal Geophysical Research Letters is expected to confirm that over the past 30 years, the area of sea ice around the continent has expanded."
