Where JR? Where? Point me to a link to a peer reviewed study that substantiates this.
Here?
http://www.nrmsc.usgs.gov/research/glacier_retreat.htm Or perhaps here?

http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/international/2006/03/24/66732.htm Keep it up JR. I have an entire university libfrary with citation indexes at my disposal. I can quite quickly send you tens of thousands of links to studies in peer reviewed journals if you wish to continue this.
Note to Blacknad.
Of course the ice gets thinner in some places and thicker in others. JR and his ilk are grasping at straws. What matters is the planet in its entirety. And most importantly the salinity of the mid-Atlantic conveyor.
They can dissemble all they want. But when the salinity drops to a low enough level the conveyor stops and the only thing we will here from them is whining about why no one told them earlier.
