Let me get this straight... The earth posses a similar amount of water that it did billions of years ago right? Ice normally does not form on the ocean directly, nor does snow. this process requires land mass to start the process right? Thousands of years would be considered an small amount of time in the life of earth. Even if you start freezing the shore line of antarctica today, wouldn't it take thousands of years to see this buld up to begin with? Guess the real question is... Is it a cycle, and if this is the case have we broken it, or would it just follow it's course? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:293940 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
