Alarm ringing.

More fresh water than ever.

YUM.

So, I guess we also need to be alarmed about the glaciers that are advancing in the northern hemisphere too? Or, wait- the Antarctic Ice shelf is growing rapidly in some places! Quick- get into your cold-war style shelter and prepare for the worst! I guess us folks up here in the northern hemisphere don't want our ice going south. Seriously though, I think articles like this don't do much to help the cause of environmentalists.

"A layer of water half a mile thick over Washington DC"?

You people DO realize how small Washington DC is, right? How much of an ocean level increase will that water cause on a global scale? (Note: The earth is just a smidge larger than Washington DC) I guess it has a better ring to it than saying "A layer of water over .25mm thick over the entire state of California!"

I'm totally for cleaning up our planet and being responsible residents, but shock-jock grade articles like this only turn me further away from the whole argument. Everyone tells me I cannot deny the FACTS. Well, ok- but when I can go and find facts to counter your facts, they suddenly cease to be facts! This whole global warming craze only proves to me that 1: someone somewhere figured out a way to make a boat-load of money off of it, and 2: we are an incredibly arrogant species that only deserves what we have coming.
