You mean that due to anatartic clouds I'll be left with a pissed of feeling of why I spent money to go see a horribley scripted movie, and wonder why when I walk outside it doesn't feel cold out?

The movie sucked. The only redeeming actor in that movie was the main girl, because she did Phantom of the Opera.

I heard they are going to build a hyperspace by-pass through our solar system. Unfortunately the Earth is in the way. What should we do?

if you researched anything, the warming comes first. global warming is truely happening at the moment. the upper atmosphere isn't supposed to warm with the ground level.
and nobody knows for sure if there will be a desalinisation point where the 'conveyor belt' will stop or slow down, BUT they do know global warming will basically flood all coastal regions and melt the ice so that no ice exists in arctic ocean region during the summer months. that would mean pretty devastating floods of a couple feet globally, meaning florida likely to be underwater, among other places around the world. an ice age hasn't be confirmed to follow the warming, although its pretty much hinted at in history, that warming will happen. and china is going to be the cause of it since they are not held down by the world and have been told its free to build more coal plants since they are a developing nation. F-off China, no more coal for you!
then again, I am not doing anything to limit CO2 emissions. bleh.

"Amazingly, the winds at this height were blowing at nearly 230 kilometres (370 miles) an hour."
lol, I guess conversions get turned upside down the higher you go?

I thought miles was the bigger unit compared to km? 1 km = .62 mile?

Psssst, you seem to be implying that if the ice in the arctic melts, it'll raise sea level... it won't raise the water level one inch when it melts. That's because it's floating. It's the ice on Greenland and on Antarctica that if it melts, will raise sea level. You get extra credit for "conveyor belt" though. :) Then again, a significant chunk of Greenland is north of the arctic circle (you did say ocean though)

I believe the quote from the scientist was 230 kilometers an hour. The journalist did the calculation to help everyone else understand how fast that meant. More proof that journalists aren't too bright when it comes to simple science and math.
