LRD_nick Man I was in school on friday and let me tell you. I was looking at some past maps,and I saw the size of greenland and it looked like africa,I saw the poles nd it looked like a desert of ice. See global warming is at work
Greenland hasn't changed sizes, you probably looked at two diffrent maps, one of which made up for its flat representation by bloating far-north and far-south landmasses.
It doesn't help the cause when you have people claiming that Greenland is melting. That's just silly.

So who knows, Um, no... the only time that the south pole was habitable was during the time of Pangia and shortly thereafter as it moved south with Austrailia. There were no homonids, let alone homosapiens at that time... North poll still has people living there... Greenland is actuall land, not ice buddy. The ice sheet is melting, but it is not greenland

Omnileech Yes, I'm sure that the overwhelming majority of scientists who agree that global warming is a reality are just falling into the "fad" Majority of scientist? What scientist the ones working for Gore?

It doesn't help the cause when you have people claiming that Greenland is melting. That's just silly.It's times like these I wish I could strike people for sheer idiocy. LRD_Nick, you clearly haven't been paying attention in school. Had you been paying attention, you'd note that until the 1980's, world maps were different than they are today. Today, you'll see a world map that looks somewhat like this:  Note the oval shape of the map. Because the map shows an oval Earth, it can take into account the correct proportions of one country to another. The Earth, being a sphere, cannot be flattened into a normal, rectangular paper shape in two dimensions with an expectation to keep landmass proportions. However, until the 1980's, most maps did just that. It was called the Mercator projection, and it looked something like this: This style of map projected the Earth as a cylindar that could be unrolled into a rectangular shape, and therefore sacrificed that teeny little detail of correct landmass proportions. If you were looking at, "older maps", you useless twit, of course Greenland is going to be just as big as Africa - that fact is often cited as the chief complaint against the Mercator. New maps give an accurate look of the real world, and therefore, Greenland looks much smaller in comparison. Because it is. ( Note: This doesn't mean global warming isn't happening. It just means that you're a few fries short of a Happy Meal in your reasoning.)

Global warming it may be or it might be the earth acting "normally".
