3. I predicted it here on DU a few months ago........
No idea how to find my first of several posts predicting it.

I think those scientists must be hanging out on DU to get their ideas.

:rofl:

4. It's a spiral they just can't keep up with.
Just last year they were saying the Arctic may be ice free in the summer by 2012.

They're still saying the Greenland sheet may melt off by the end of the century - I think it is optimistic to expect it to last half that long.
