NASA puts its weight behind warming signs
Following two recent studies on changes to Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets, NASA is touting a survey that it says confirms “climate warming is changing how much water remains locked in Earth’s largest storehouses of ice and snow.”

In a press release for the survey, NASA directly tied the changes to warming and described the survey as “the most comprehensive” ever in both regions.

That stand can in part be explained by lead author Jay Zwally’s warning.

“If the trends we’re seeing continue and climate warming continues as predicted, the polar ice sheets could change dramatically,” he said in the press release last Wednesday. “The Greenland ice sheet could be facing an irreversible decline by the end of the century.”

1. Artificial climate change.
Who said terraforming is just science fiction?

2. Say goodbye to your budget, NASA.
You know, I always imagined that in my golden years, space travel and research would discover amazing things.

Now I know that the anti-science minority will crush my imagination.

3. Their "science" will wither...
under the all-knowing glare of limpballs, o'lielly, the she-devil and the multitude of fundies who see the myth of global warming as anti god. What does nasa know, they're only 'scientists' who deal with 'facts.'
