How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

Basically it's saying that there is a fairly decent chance that the North Pole icecap will actually melt enough to expose open water this summer.

ON the plus side there is oil under there which may drop prices.

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

And my home will increase in value - instead of inland from the bay, I'll be oceanfront! :roll:

Actually, the north polar cap melting won't raise the sea level by much, as the ice is already displacing water. If the Antarctic cap melts, even I'll be a hundred feet underwater, 60 miles from the coast...

By the way this probably won't do anything to convince those who want to ignore global warming. The reason being that the earth has been in a warming cycle far longer than mankind has had the tech to make a difference.

The issue of global warming is that we're making it happen too fast.

The catch-22 regarding attempts to "fix" global warming is that the most ambitious plans have (and have had) trouble achieving their lofty goals, while plans meant to be more easily achievable are criticized at not going far enough.

Global warming is a global problem and so long as most of the world choices to ignore it we're screwed.

We can't even be sure that global warming isn't a normal part of the planet's weather cycle though.
