   RN>NOCTILUCENT CLOUDS OVER ANTARCTICA: This just in from NASA's AIM   
   RN>spacecraft: The sky above Antarctica is glowing electric blue. A ring of   
   RN>bright noctilucent clouds has formed around the South Pole. The annual   
   RN>apparition of these clouds is one of the earliest on record, and may hint   
   RN>at the workings of climate change. Visit Spaceweather.com for more

   Good news....bad news!   
      
      
   First...the `good' news:   
      
      
   The Antarctic sea ice hasn't `shrunk' in a 100 years or so!   
      
      
   According to *NASA*...`Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level   
   rise'.-`Mass gains of Antarctic Ice Sheet greater than losses'.   
      
      
   Now...the bad news:   
      
      
   Scientists have descovered that Antarctic sea ice has not really changed from   
   what it was around 100 years ago. Analyzing the log books of two explorers who   
   sailed on two ships exploring the region in the early 1900's, conditions are   
   almost identical now as they were then, which indicates that (as I've said   
   many times) the decline and gains are a regular occurence, part of a natural   
   cycle...and NOT the result of `global warming' as has been claimed!   
      
      
   BTW....the dates at which time climate `scientists' (and politicians) said the   
   ice would disappear, have come and gone....but the ice remains!   
      
      
   Al Gore! Call your office!   
      
      
   Heh heh heh!!!!   
      
      
   Oh...by the way...it snowed recently in a spot in Japan that hasn't seen snow   
   this time of year in about fifty years!   
      
      
   Imagine that!
