   Gads, I hope there wasn’t a polar bear on that glacier? He would REALLY be in trouble with peta.

   You know, I’ve heard of this being done before, several years ago. Glacial ice is beautifully colored blue or green and fizzes in drinks.

   At least that’s a legitimate way man can shrink glaciers by his own determination.

   So is covering the ice caps with soot, but let’s not get behind ourselves.

    Glaciers are the anomaly.

    They are vestiges of the preceding Ice Age.

    The earth is approx. 4.5 Billion years old. The last Ice Age started maybe 2 million years ago, and ended 10 to 14 thousand years ago, depending on which scientist you talk to. There have been maybe 4 Ice Ages total.

    The glaciers are getting smaller because THEY ALWAYS GET SMALLER. In fact, they are supposed to disappear.

    You forget we live in a world where bird’s-nest soup, of which the primary ingredient is a nest made of the snot from a bird, is considered a delicacy.

    I’d bet this guy (had his ice not been confiscated) would have made a killing.

    In fact, maybe the UN should think about taking some sea water up to the top and creating man made glaciers to save the world from rising sea levels. It would be cheaper than charging everyone on earth for carbon use.

    DEAl, I bet that things in the ice age would be better for you than what you get in our bread, veggies, soft drinks, anything mo has in her famous ‘garden’ or take out hamburger! If you was a child that parents saw to it you did not eat dirt, did not have anything in your life that wasn’t ‘government’ approved, had an antiobiotic for every sniffle, you probably had lots of childhood problems and in later life you are going to the doctor for things you should have not had to deal with. If, God forbid, you DO get a major problem with health did the fact you didn’t eat an iceberg save you? BTW, how do YOU know what is in the berg and will it kill you?

    That article has been one of my favorites for years. They seem to have added an origin theory which is quite interesting:

    The genesis of this belief in South Korea remains a mystery although there are some theories as to the origin. The most prevalent theory is that since the first reports of fan death did not occur until the 1970s, it is speculated that in order to conserve energy use by the population, the South Korean government propagated this notion in order to cut down on energy usage at a time of supply constraints

    Conservation kills. I wonder how many old people in South Korea have died during hot weather for fear of using a fan or air conditioner…
