I should also mention that in an interview conducted in 2010, Robert Ballard said that eventually all the snow and ice on earth would melt, based on the pollution and greenhouse gases we have already put into the atmosphere. I guess we will have to see if that is true.....but if it happens, the seas will rise over 250 feet, drowning all major coastal cities and forcing hundreds of millions of people to migrate. And then there is James Hansen's latest paper, which predicts a probable global temperature rise of 10 deg C when the process has played out. Hansen's paper has been countered by others in the field, but while an outlier, he has been right in the past, so it is not a good idea to ignore his findings out of hand. The question now seems to be not what will happen, but how fast and how far.....
