Antartic
Over the past years we have been bombarded with news about global warming and the shrinking of the Antartic
Ice caps etc.
NASA announced that a recent satellite image shows that the western side of region is showing considerable ice growth. Scientist are at a loss to explain why this has happened.

Re: Antartic
Vic I think in general all life on earth and the continuation of life forms commenced and carried on as a result of the Sun which is a star if but a smaller one in our Universe even though it is 240 times bigger than the earth.All past life and any future that the earth has is going to be the state of the Sun and its effect on our climatic conditions . The origin of the earth is believed by many to be a particle of our sun which broke away. What the scientists do have is believable proof of this , the sun the same as any heavenly body at some point in time will wane, and during that waning will also effect other planetary systems, any change of the likes of thermal heat or distance from the earth will have effects on others such as our own planet , I believe that humans will never be able to change the inevitable. My motto is enjoy life whilst it’s there to enjoy and what may happen in the far distant future is not ours to mess with. JS

Re: Antartic
We only have to think back to history lessons at school to realise that change is occurring all the time, albeit more time than we experience. Ice age, stone age, every other age, including old age. No doubt there's another age looming in the very near future, so we won't hold our breath. We're only here for the blink of an eye when it comes to time.
