Those aren't polar ice caps. Those snows have melted and returned, it's part of the natural cycle of the Earth. You mentioned the snows in the Rockies are disappearing, have you watched the news lately? Denver has been covered in record snow fall. Even if the snows were disappearing and the ocean level was rising, there is still no evidence that we are responsible as opposed to the Earth simply changing on it's own.
Whoa here fella, you apparently don't recognize that the GREENLAND ICECAP HAS BEEN THERE FOR ABOUT 50 THOUSAND YEARS OR MORE. You don't seem to know about Glacier National Park in Washington State. You don't seem to know that the Snows of Killamajaro fall on GLACIERS. You seem to think that Iceland is Ice Free in the summer. WELL IT JUST AIN'T SO.
What you are FAILING TO ADMIT IS THIS...VIRTUALLY EVERY GLACIER ON EARTH IS RECEEDING AT HISTORICALLY HIGH RATES.
