I WAS RIGHT! I told you all.

I'm no Geologist, but from what I can gather from a Physics point of view (I am that gay), the ice caps are melting at an alarmingly fast rate. When (I say when and not if) the ice caps fully melt away, the oceans will rise about 25 feet. This may seem like a small number, but there are plenty of locations that are just barely above sea level. This puts those towns and other establishments at high risk.

Now, the argument that we are entering another ice age at some point in the future is the speculation that wind currents will change course once the ice caps are melted away. These winds will freeze water again, creating the ice caps once again...only this time they will be much larger and closer to home than you think.

Of course, this is only what I've heard, and I have nothing to really back it up, so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. I'll turn off Raph's Girl mode now.
