   Flash!  NASA Scientists discover that ice melts when it gets warm! This   
   is one of the most astounding findings of all time.  Where have these   
   experts been? It obviously has been getting warmer (except for   
   republicans) so Ice Melts? Now there's a piece of news.   
      
   In all seriousness, all of this is predicted by AGW theory. The whole   
   Ice cap is going to disappear at some point in the not to distant   
   future. Same with Antarctica. Welcome to a far different future world.
