We're all going to die! We're all going to die! Nevermind.

If you were worried you were going to get hit by flying ice shards as glaciers collapsed in Greenland and Antartica because the Earth's thermostat has been set on "Hi" and we're all going to die because global warming is going to kill us all, there is good news: Glaciers don't collapse.

Just thought you'd like to know.

    Martin, glaciers are like old soldiers. (Don't make me explain.)

    Visited Glacier National Park in 1994 and 2003. Trust me, glaciers are melting. Heck, we're gonna need a new name for that park before too long. (Little Johnny - "Daddy, while is this place called Glacier National Park?" Father - "Um, er, because there used to be glaciers here." Johnny - "Oh yeah, like Dinosaur National Monument! Did the meteor wipe out the glaciers like it did the dinosaurs?" Father - "Um, er, no." Johnny - "Daddy, what's a glacier, anyway?" etc., etc.)

    Art,

    They may be melting in Montana, but they're forming in my back yard.

The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.

Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
