Maybe it is just me and it is my time of the month or something but I have another one. The TV in the break room is on the History/Hitler channel (depending on how you look at it). There is a program on about glaciers melting (subtle global warming hints). The expert is showing all of these comparisons to how the ice looked in 1850 on this mountain range to now. There is no disputing that there is significantly less ice. He claims 83% is gone. My whole annoyance is that it is not a disputed fact that 1850 marked the end of a mini ice age, so of course there was more ice in 1850 than there is now, the ice age is over. That is such a stupid comparison. We do not know enough about what is normal for non-ice age to make a conclusion. Hell, it has been proven that the earth used to be much hotter than it is now, maybe that is the normal temperature.
