Anybody looked at the ice shelfs lately (Score 1)

The poles are not melting, have not been melting. How could they melt at 50 below? That's like saying Greenland is melting, since it's only 30 below zero in the summer. In case you actually want to look, and see for yourself, the latest is at this site ... Arctic http://igloo.atmos.uiuc.edu/cgi-bin/test/print.sh Antarctic ... http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/IMAGES/antarctic.jpg I guess not many actually look, since the sat data has been available since about 1979, the first year we were able to actually measure the ice, you can do comapres if you want. I wonder what the polar bears did when it was so warm during the last interglacial when the Boreal Forest grew right up to the banks of the Arctic Ocean? And how do we know that, the dead trees are buried in the tundra of today.
