I'm quite SICK of the bull...........Anytime money and gubment are involved, some jack ass will come up with some study to live off the tit of uncle sam.

Some of the same data that told us the polar region was disappearing is being used to say ......OOPS we screwed the pooch on that one.

And with glacier national park...........Gore said the glaciers would be gone by 2030...

Well you know what.......they stopped shrinking,, and I believe the USGS has removed their bull crap sites stating they will be gone.

10 years ago, all you heard was bad, bad, bad, bad. NOW, you cannot even find a recent article about Glacier melting away.............

Like I said.......cycles........

I took a class in Historical Geology up at Purdue University along with the current director of the Indiana DNR Fish and Wildlife Director. We were classmates back then and both got A's in the class. So when it comes to talking about historical geology and the melting and forming of glaciers I'm pretty well versed on that subject. Or was back when I was still in school. I may have forgot a few details but not many.

Anyway I truly believe that the RATE of melting has been accelerated by mankind's activities on the earth. Especially burning of coal and oil since the Industrial Revolution. To deny that fact is not wise.

The bottom line is that it probably won't really have much impact on us as far as ocean levels go in the short time. But in Geologic time it could be catastrophic. There use to be two different types of Geologists. Those that believed in Uniformitarianism and those that were Catastrophism believers.

I personally think that both are or were at work. Events can happen suddenly and fast and also slowly over time. And it's very hard to tell the difference some times after millions of years or even tens of thousands of years have passed.

I also worked for the EPA (local agency) and it was one of my jobs to determine exactly how much fossil fuels were being used by industry in my area and how that impacted the local atmosphere. Modeling can be used to help determine the amount of air pollution that's impacting the area and sampling data can be used to calibrate the models.
