Rush mentioned that this morning. He said the 'Number of Northern Hemisphere ice shelfs has more than doubled,' disputing crackpot theories of global warming.

Well, no, he didn't say that, but he might.

Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot. From the same article:

"A century ago, the entire northern coast of Ellesmere Island, the northernmost land mass of North America, was fringed with a continuous ice shelf, as explorer Robert E. Peary reported in 1907. About 90 percent of the ice area had been lost, through calving from its northern edge, by 1982, the authors say. Since then, the remnant ice shelves, including Ward Hunt, had remained relatively stable until April 2000..."

Even if he didn't mention this particular story, I've heard him equate climate-concerned scientists with Chicken Little before. Not a whole lot of credibility when it comes to ecology.

"Number of Northern Hemisphere ice shelfs has more than doubled"

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Two points, Tripp.

Smack! On my forehead. Oh, I didn't catch that first go 'round, Tripp. Nice.

Thanks for the points. If I save up and get 5, can I select a prize from the top shelf?

Several million gallons of fresh water just fell off that top shelf; if you can carry it you can have it.
