GLOBAL WARMY-COOLING
Stupid glaciers don’t know whether to shrink or expand:
The Alpine glaciers are shrinking, that much we know. But new research suggests that in the time of the Roman Empire, they were smaller than today. And 7,000 years ago they probably weren’t around at all. A group of climatologists have come up with a controversial new theory on how the Alps must have looked over the ages.
Damn Romans and their SUVs.
UPDATE. Global warming wisher John Quiggin reports glacial cold in usually-sunny Brisbane.
