That's never happened before. Even scientists are unsure of the reason and aren't necessarily attributing it to climate change, but it has happened.

Not ice sheets in the water youve got to worry about. Its the glacial ice, that's on land, that you need worry about.

It WAS the ice on land which melted. Of course, it most likely promptly refroze, but it did happen.

Well, no. LOL What they're unsure about is what caused the rapid warming.

Between November and April, the ice will be back. Happens every year.

Except it hasn't happened for at least 30 years, but hey, there is now some more sand in which to bury your head.

There hasn't been enough destruction from hurricanes (btw, Krugman has been sad about this). So now it's time to focus on a different variance in the weather.

Good one My brother-in-law found a newspaper article from the 1910s or 1920s in his house that was harping about catastrophic global warming. Go figure
