There is no debate in scientific circles. Any debate is almost entirely from the ignorant, the uninformed, the political opportunists, or the criminally irresponsible people in the fossil fuel industries trying to protect their bottom line come hell or high water (which I just realized is a surprisingly appropriate idiom in this context).

And yes, the images of the melting antarctic from your link definitely show the impacts...

James Balog photographs the melting ice of the Antarctic. In this report from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) the photographer is calling attention to climate change (Global Warming) by documenting the shrinking glaciers in Antarctica.

Just saying, but I agree that I'd rather just see the url than someone's description of it.

Only baggers are about 2 millennium behind the rest of the world. So they are just starting to get it. Global warming is happening and we caused it. Al Gore was right and they refuse to admit they were wrong.

The stupid and crazy runs deep in that bunch.

The scientific community came to a consensus on the subject years ago. Only corporates and committed contrarians refuse to accept it and, Canute-like, they'll reject it even as the waves wash over their heads. I just hope they don't drown the rest of us in the process.
