Didn't someone else say that the Arctic was going to be ice free by 2015 or was it 2010?  Maybe 2005?  

Ok, so the ice goes away, the climate warms and LA and New York sink into the ocean.  Is that a bad thing?   The climate warms, less energy to heat homes, family food can be raised at home, tropical vacations will not be so appealing, more energy savings, new shipping lanes open with lower fuel costs and less energy used.  All of these and more are the upside of this manufactured nonsense.  Nonsense designed to accomplish one thing and one thing only.  To make money.  But only for some.

Man and his activities are little more than a boil on the butt of the Earth.  The climate has always changed and it will continue to change with or without Man and his activities.
