Well oddly the other day NASA claimed that the climate change is also slowing down the rise that should have occurred because 3.2 trillion gallons have been soaked up by parched continents.

too be honest I am not sure who to believe and when anymore. Why do they always ratchet this stuff during US election cycles?

Still being in an interglacial time period we should expect warming, perhaps we are helping it along but cooling would likely be more devastating than warming. The odd thing about reading about glacier melt and such is that the effects are greater on your shoreline the further you are away from the affected glacier.

That linked article just leaves me in the dust at times, the connections made are just making me rethink how it all works. That we can look back at Roman actions and see that a lot of increase is recent is really cool.
