So should we run for the hills and build us some sturdy boats or trust that this is due to (v. big) regional temperature variation?

or stop driving SUVs and flying around the world

yeah, robster, try to be a little more considerate.

You mean I've got to stop flying round the world in my SUV? Bum!

― robster (robster), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 08:59 (twenty-two years ago)

stop flying your plane full of SUVs around this world and don't ever do it to the next world we will need when this world is dead because of you and your planes and SUVs.

seriously, though, the article seems to suggest it is regional? just stay away from that area w/ your Ps+SUVs, please.

You'll be telling me to stop burning all those fossil fuels next.

Introducing the Icebreaker, the new SUV with aerial capabilities powered by a discreet oil-burning power station hidden under the 36-seat spacious rear. Do not use in cities, on bends or within either arctic circle.

Hahaha, suddenly Saskatchewan is the best place to be!

Suddenly?

― NA (Nick A.), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 15:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Okay, suddenly it looks good (cuz it doesn't actually look good, unless you're thinking in terms of best place to natural disasters, war, terrorism, and nudie bars).

Yay global warming. :P

by the way, if anyone's interested in this sort of thing, this book is pretty good:

Riddle of the Ice: A Scientific Adventure into the Arctic
by Myron Arms

It's about one guy's sailing trip where they looked into how melting ice in the arctic circle leads to thicker ice a bit further south by Canada & Greenland.

Global Warming is a liberal myth! That ice shelf broke because of Welfare Cheats!
