Yes I'm not disputing that, they are retreating, indeed they are, but the doom and gloom mongerers are blaming man for it when there are too many other factors in the whole equation that are also contributing to the retreat. Solar activity has increased in the last twenty years, flares and sunspots, I'm an amatuer astronomist, a member of a club in fact and it's a fact that solar activity has increased in output. The pendulum will swing the other way and fluctation cycle continues. The glacial period we are currently in, yes I said glacial period as a "glacial period" is signified by having a polar ice cap on both poles, is currently experiencing a warming phase. The warming at the end of the last maximum extant was dramatic and pronounced so much so that the north sea that separates the island of Great Britain from the rest of the continent, the flooding of Doggerland, has been postulated to happening within four or five generations by archeologists studying that period. So the warming we are experiencing now is small fry compared to that sudden and very dramatic climate change ......................
