The Glaciers are NOT Melting
We've all been fooled. The glaciers really aren't melting. They've been stolen. Some sneaky Japanese people wanting to raise awareness about global warming traveled north or east, I am not sure, and stole huge hunks of a glacier and brought them to Hokkaido.

Alaskan village to sue energy companies over climate change
In a trial that is probably going to take proportions because of the problems it raises, the village of Kivalina in Alaska is suing 24 energy companies for large amounts of greenhouse gases that contributed to global warming and led to coastal erosion, which puts the lives of the 400 residents at risk. (ADN reported) Kivalina is a community of Inupiat ...
