Will the Ice Caps Melt? By Jerome J. Schmitt

There is considerable debate over whether the "greenhouse gas" effect will raise the temperature of the atmosphere by between 1-5°C over the next 100 years. But even if you grant for the sake of argument the Warmist claim that the earth's atmosphere will go up a full five degrees Centigrade in temperature, Al Gore's claim that ocean levels will rise 20 feet thanks to global warming seems to ignore the laws of thermodynamics.

Schmitt does a great job of proving that much ice won't be melting so fast. The problem is, nobody is claiming that all that ice will melt so fast.
