Inconvenient Future (Score 1)

I seldom reply to blogs, however the discussion regarding global warming was interesting. I have worked for the National Science Foundation and spent over five years in the Antarctic. Our predictions relative to the speed of melting glaciers in the Antarctic have been wrong by signifanct factor from when we accomplished the studies in the late 70's. The data from ancient ice cores is irrefutable, the glaciers are melting all over the world and regardless of our arguments over the reasons, the planet's temperature is rising. Many of us are commencing the metrics of construction of dynamico-stochastic models of the ocean and the real contemplation of momentum and salinity fluxes on ocean circulation. I have moved to the high deserts of Arizona above the 6000 foot level and commenced satellite tie ins to ocean based beacon systems. The geopolitical situation and life as we know it can change quickly. Think about your future if the servo mechanisms that serve the distribution of food and fuel become even slighty disrupted.
