It cooled from 1940 to 1979, so why would they start it at 1979, the end of a cooling period and beginning of a 30 yewar cooling period? That misrepresents the facts. I'm not saying it is intentional but does warp things. I would image it will cool for a lot more than 30 years based on past charts. More like several thousand years.

NEWS:

Methane Releases from Arctic Shelf May Be Much Larger and Faster Than Anticipated

NSF - March 4, 2010.

Research results, published in the March 5 edition of the journal Science, show that the permafrost under the East Siberian Arctic Shelf, long thought to be an impermeable barrier sealing in methane, is perforated and is starting to leak large amounts of methane into the atmosphere. Release of even a fraction of the methane stored in the shelf could trigger abrupt climate warming.

ive seen soooo many of these computer generated (nerd programmed) cartoons, ive still to find some ACTUAL REAL photographs/satellite images of an ACTUAL icecap.....soho watches the sun 24/7, is the icecap not actually being filmed 24/7?? where are those images?? where are those movies?? why the seemingly constant need for GRAPHICS?!!!!!!
