Nobody reported on NASA's latest Arctic ice study. I thought you all should know:

Um, actually it's good news (that's why it's not beeing reported on). The study shows the ice melting could be a natural, cyclical thing.

Ice ages come and go, just like my friend Bill Stern.

We're still coming out of one of the coldest periods in Earth's history. It's an upswing that has been going on for tens of millennia. Most people look at 1500 or even 10000 year frames to discuss warming, but if you look at millions, even billions, we're still south of average temperature-wise.
