[QUOTE="green slime, post: 1807212, member: 1325"] Did anyone contradict you on this little fact? You have heard of global warming? The melting of the Ice sheet in the Antartic? The retreat of glaciers [b]worldwide[/b]? All glaciers have shrunk. Every single one of them. Everywhere. Compared to just 50 years ago. Global warming is a fact. You may have heard of Kilimanjaro, a mountain, in Africa, near the Equator. Snow-covered all year round.... Don't tell me the equator is chilly. Or that it is impossible to walk from tropical forest to glacier in a few short days (You have to take it slow or you will suffer altitude sickness!)

You originally stated unequivocally that they had none, (not that they just had a bad year ´97) and you implied it was due to the volcanic activity of the island! There are mountains in the Abor'ahlz range in Iran that are snow covered all year round. Is Iran particularly reknown for its chilly climate?
