    I hope the study with Antarctica is accurate. It would be one less thing to worry about as things heat up.

    Ice gaining mass instead of losing? I knew global warming was bunk.

    That would be nice, Jennifer!

    Alex, I can't vouch for the Antarctic, but when my husband and I took a cruise to Alaska, we did see signs that the glaciers were shrinking there.
