Louis posted a 2007 article on Bolivia's Chacaltaya glacier. He complains that I am uninformed, but does he
realize that glacier finally disappeared in 2009 - with no catastrophic effects? Moreover, it isn't even
clear that its melting away was caused by global warming.

You can all inform yourselves about it at wikipedia:

Paddy, I agree with you. Let's hope one day the left can discuss this issue in a rational and civilized way.
