Yeah, global warming is happening alright, you just have to look around. According to the arctic weather web site http://www.athropolis.com/temperature/coldreport2.php due north of us in Nunavut is cold, but Barrow, Alaska has been consistently warmer than Ithaca for weeks, and is currently ten degrees F above us. Hammerfest, Norway and Murmansk, Russia are warmer than we are, and Tiski and Pevek, Russia on the Arctic Ocean in Siberia are over 54 degrees F!!! Siberia in the 50s in February? That's just wrong.

It really is just a matter of how much. Also for the record, having lived in the area except from 1966- 1972, since 1948 and I have never seen the lake completely freeez over even in the mid 1980s when we had -20 weather for two weeks. Besides, were supposed to be having "Global Warming" aren't we? :?)
