Lighthouses Lake Erie

A lighthouse on Lake Erie turned into a block of ice because of freezing weather?
Is this some of your famous "global warming and other bullshit" that is making these changes?
Julia, you don't know the HALF of it! (haha)
This website addresses "Superdog's" comments about the polar bears. The ice is coming back, and the losses and gains are all natural due to to "Arctic Oscillation".

However, this next website demonstrates how the ice ages have all been approximately in equal periods on earth's time line, and how we may be only about 50 years away from it. The chart near the bottom shows how each cold period since 2500 BC has been getting longer and colder.

But I think much of the changes we are seeing are related to how we have changed the things on earth that actually cause the weather. The Brazilian rain forest is the largest weather-maker on earth, and when they began to clear-cut that, it definitely had to have some effect.
