You don't have to convince me, man. It was like 103 yesterday. I had a glass of ice water, and the cubes melted very quickly.

HAHAH. I know... People are funny. Global warming is a fact, but why it is warming is up for debate.

I suppose if someone lived during the ice age, they would have cried like hell... "The polar caps have melted past wisconsin for God's sake!" And in the 70's people were worried about another ice age.
