U.N. studies show that the Arctic
ice has shrunk by about three percent a decade since the 1970s and that air
temperatures have risen by about five degrees Celsius (41 degrees Fahrenheit) in
the past century.

It looks like global warming will be pretty catastrophic if
you use Flintstone units! Maybe that's what wiped out the
dinosaurs...
