Where will santa live when all the ice melts?!

Since its christmas, lets talk about santa
nono... lets talk about where santa lives...
north pole
nono... lets talk abt whats there... ice!
okok, i'm just trying to link this topic to christmas. ANYWAY

First, let moi tell you what's a glazier.
A glacier is a large, slow-moving mass of ice, formed from compacted layers of snow, that slowly deforms and flows in response to gravity and high pressure (source: wikipedia)
i'm sure everyone knows abt the global-warming thing and that they are melting, causing sea level to rise.
let me share this 2 interesting fact with you:

1. If all the ice in greenland were to melt, the sea level will rise by 23 feet.

ok the 2nd one is the really ironic and interesting. not sure how true it is since its coming from wikipedia.

2. Now, in SOME cases, the amount that melts in the summer is significantly more than the expansion in the winter. And that is the anecdotal evidence that global warming alarmists hype. But it is just anecdotal. Statistically, there are just as many glaciers which are expanding more than they are melting. You never hear about them because the media is helping the alarmists make this into a much bigger story than it really is.

so who should i believe?! Environmentalist and evil medias? or this uncredited john doe?

in any case, i do believe that everyone does have a part in maintaining our environment and make it a better place for our next generation.
=)

Merry Christmas to all!

My first visit here .. so I don't know if i can leave a comment.

first of all Merry Christmas:)

Indeed we don't know who we can believe , the media or the scientists.. but the most bitter fact that is our planet is at a very dangerous state and may be it is dangerous to the house of Santa in the glaciers as you said.. I remember this word from my studying French in high school .. although it is the same in English :D
