For the animal life that live on ice caps it's a huge deal. And it's our fault their home is being destroyed.

Let me guess. You got this information from who? Al Gore, U.S. Government, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change or the media.

No, I got this from seeing polar bears break ice that they could have sat on fine if they weren't melting.

That land belongs to the U.S.A, Russia, Canada, Greenland and Norway (please correct me wif I've missed any out). I don't see Britain up there so I'm not bothered.

Of course the loss of wildlife will be a sad thing but that's something else we can blame the U.S for.

The main problem that everyone has with the ice caps melting is they believe it will raise the sea level, so have fun on an island if the ice caps do completely melt, you just provided a great reason for us to go and melt "our" ice caps, wipe Britain off the face of the earth ;)

It won't remove Britain it will just rearrange our coastline, the same thing it will do to the USA if sea levels rise. Trust the US to continue an attack plan that asla wrecks themselves.

How about this? Put ice cubes in a clear glass with water, then measure the height of the water with the ice cubes in the glass. Then, let the ice cubes melt, then measure the height of the water in the glass. You will find that melting of the ice cubes actually slightly lowers or stays the same of the water depending on the volume of ice.

this is a completely natural cycle. Were the ice ages man made? This is practically the opposite of the ice age, but this is also natural, not man made.
