Jeff - That was my thought also. He didn't seem overly concerned about how that part fit into his theory. A few decades here and there don't seem terribly important in ice age scales of time. Doubt I'll be around in another few dozen years to see, at any rate. BillR

The polar cap is the smallest it has been in decades resulting in LESS energy being reflected off the earth and therefore more warming. This is also causing the salinity of the northern ocean to change which will have a huge impact on northern Europe as the gulf stream will not pass its heat on to them as much. I've also heard that we're in the extremely early throes of an ice age. It seems plausible to me. We don't know as much about the planet's climate as we like to think we do.
