This I like. putting like it is..they are not lies the scienceist and the ones that spend their whole lives devoted to this and they are not just for a certain area..purely it is a world wide concern...It is true..everyday we have a melt down where there was ice is getting less and less...Take the Eskmo's they had a show on this was quite interesting...They know that there way of life will change and they are not well learned in such matters..but they are watching the changes...There livelyhood is upon the Ice..and have said they will have to change their way of life in Fishing ...My point to this is...they are looking at it living upon it daily..The Sceinceist are surprised this is putting it lightly how fast this melt down is..
