David, I'm HONESTLY asking this, not trying to be inflammatory. I do love to sincerely research both sides of any issue. Is there a good link or book you can recommend?

What's causing Polar Bears to starve and come into conflict with Kodiaks as they move inland searching for food while their ice sheets/hunting grounds retreat? (We've all seen those images on TV but they may be out of context?)

The Eskimos are also having to give up their traditional ice-fishing and hunting areas, supposedly due to ice melt and thinning. What is actually going on that the reports may not have shared with us? (Believe me I know the media can distort anything it wants to.)

What is really causing these ice shelves to deteriorate, if in fact they are?

The earth does have cycles but humans also cause harm. What is confusing here is knowing where each one ends and the other begins.

My friend at the museum tells me we SHOULD be heading into another Ice Age but that Man's activities are slowing or stopping this natural cycle. It is an astronomy and research center, they get the global satelite images we see, as well as readings from volcanos etc., and all the correspondence from scientists around the world. So that is what I hear and have been basing my concerns on, but that may just be one side of the equation.

Where can I read about other causes and explanations from sources you trust? (Or personal observation, in your case, living in the heart of it all!)
