My cousin Bruce in front of a glacier near Whittier
People have been discussing global warming for a long time now. A satellite picture showed that an ice strip that held Wilkins Ice Shelf together had snapped off the Antarctic Peninsula. The ice bridge has held a huge Antarctic ice shelf in place for hundreds of years. Many people will see this as yet another reason to jump on the global warming bandwagon, but the fact is, glaciers and ice shelves have been retreating for centuries, long before cars and the Industrial Revolution. Let's take a look at Alaska for a minute, it used be covered by glaciers and its a beautiful place to live. The glaciers melting here was a good thing! However, researchers might be right, the ice melting could be global warming, but nobody really knows for sure. The main problem I have with all the pollution we put into the air is that we all have to breathe it! For this reason, I am all for reducing global air pollution and improving air quality.
