Global warming could soon make Antarctica the only place to live, says chief British scientist

You always wonder if the scientist has really said this or if the dumb media who cover science stories poorly at the best of times have taken it out of context. I looked at it and thought...hang on a minute, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration is a long way from being the sole factor in determining the Earth's climate. Just off the top of my head, the distance from and activity of the sun and therefore the amount of heat we are getting in the first place play a huge role. The circulation of the oceans make a big difference too...and they would have been radically different cause the continents weren't where they are now. Sure climate change is a reality, but this is stretching things. I'm expecting the story to show to be uncritically regurgitated on the Greenpeace site any day now.
