Originally posted by PurpleXVI: As far as I understand it, lot of CO2 is trapped in the polar ice caps, and as global heating melts them, it releases more CO2. However, this does not mean that CO2 does not worsen global warming, rather, it might just mean that even a little bit of global warming could cause a runaway chain reaction as the ice caps begin to melt while we are deforesting, lessening the planet's ability to re-absorb CO2, rather than planting more forest to bind the CO2 again.

Its sad that you care not to actually see the opinion from the other side because there is a man from Asia, cannot remember his nationality, that is the leading expert in the ice caps. He says that the ice caps melt and refreeze all the time and that only due to satellite imaging have man been able to finally see it happening...but that this is not anything new. He says that he tires of people coming to him with the idea that the caps are melting for the first time.
