Do you recall the 'ice-age is coming' scare in the 70s? I do. As to ice melting, have you seen this? (The last paragraph is interesting):
http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Newsroom/NewImages/images.php3?img_id=17661 Whether or not global warming is real is for the scientists to debate. I have heard scientists argue both sides and read articles and seen photographs and studies on both sides. If global warming is real, or just a cycle, there is still the question as to how much man contributes to it - a small amount, a large amount, in total, or not at all. Given that the possibility is real though, I think it doesn't hurt to take precautions and attempt to stop contributing to it if possible. Better safe than sorry...

But the extreme reluctance for most scientists to even entertain the possibility that some of it might be natural suggests to me that climate research has become corrupted. I fear that the sloppy practice of climate change science will damage our discipline for a long time to come." Roy W.
