| LOL. Yes and you have bent the definition of "desert" so badly to
justify the Antarctic weather.
You tell me that Antartica has so much snow to cause this hypothetical
problem and yet you also state not much snow will accumulate there.
As far as increased evaporation and precipitation goes I was only
quoting theories put forth in Ron's linked articles. I know you said
you read them and it makes more sense than global warming melting the
polar caps. Shouldn't this have happened previously in the earth's
history?
Let's face it. Everybody is guessing and nobody remembers the last
time it happened.
You might. How old are you?...LOL
