    An igloo is not a home. It is a temporary shelter. Driftwood lumber was the traditional building material for permanent housing, although at the rate entire towns are having to move inland due to flooding from sea level rise from that “myth” of global warming, I am not sure how permanent they are. Today Arctic Ocean and South Pacific; tomorrow Jersey Shore and Miami Beach. Stupidity marches on.

    Global warming is not a myth – the myth is that we can stop it. The earth has always been changing. Warming – cooling, that is what it does. figure out a way to live through it.Overpopulation does not help.

    Your question makes no sense. Glaciers are in mountains, not oceans. Fragments may end up in oceans, where they form icebergs, which then then melt causing a rise in sea level. Glacier melting is one cause of sea level rise, although ice cap melting is more severe. Erosion of coastline due to the lack of sea ice is causing the evacuation of fish and seal dependent villages having to move inland.

    Of course we can stop it, we started it. Natural cycles can be interfered with by humans. According to ice core and tree ring evidence, we should have passed the peak heat and getting colder, stormier, and more unstable weather. Because of the industrial revolution and its dependence on polluting fossil fuel, each summer is hotter than the previous, but we are still getting the storms and extremes in temperature as previous cycles predicted. Interesting that those who deny human involvement in climate, also want to ban family planning, which would deal with overpopulation in a nonviolent way. Where is your income from: fossil fuel or war?
