Must be global warming causing the slower melting of the ice

To GARIBALDI:
Mitt Romney does NOT belong on this list!! He has NEVER said he is convinced that "Man-Made Global warming" is an issue worth doing anything that would restrict our competitiveness in the global market. He REJECTED "Cap-N-Trade." The worst I have heard him say is:
“I believe that climate change is occurring…I also believe that human activity is a contributing factor. I am uncertain how much of the warming, however, is attributable to man and how much is attributable to factors out of our control.” "No Apology 2010."
Andrea Saul, a Romney spokeswoman, said:
“Governor Romney’s view on climate change has not changed. He believes it’s occurring, and that human activity contributes to it, but he doesn’t know to what extent. He opposes cap and trade, and he refused to sign such a plan when he was governor. Maybe the bigger threat is all the hot air coming from career politicians who are desperate to hold on to power.”
The Fact is, the world WARMS and COOLS in cycles, but Romney is NOT a "Global Warming Alarmist" and he has NOT proposed any human restrictions to try to suppress any supposed warming.
Please get your facts straight before lumping him into a category including Al Gore and Barry Obama!

It makes sense that the ice caps are melting as we come out of the last ice age.
We will need to start worrying when they stop melting and start to grow again.

Global Warming is a political opportunistic hoax. Sure climate changes but not because of ANYTHING mankind does or doesn't do. Instead, we should focus on not littering and cleaning up junk autos.

As he was caught coming down the stairs from his "private" jet, Al "Bulldog" Gore was quoted as saying that in response to the recent findings showing significantly LESS loss of ice than previously claimed, "This stinks. This is total B-S" He then climbed into his personal limousine and set off for his home in a NINE CAR convoy.

Bloggerbill, math says 6 inches in 100 years . . .

"Ocean levels worldwide are rising about six hundredths of an inch per year, according to researcher John Wahr."
At this rate, it would take 100 years for the ocean to rise by 1 inch!! Hardly the crises Al Gore is trying to sell.
