Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Ice Cap Melting?

(Fox News) - One of the major claims by global warming proponents is that Greenland's ice cap will melt and cause sea levels to rise up to 20 feet.

But the journal "Science" reports an international team of scientists has found that the ice shield remained frozen during the last major warming period 120,000 years ago.

This suggests computer models predicting a massive meltdown may be incorrect. Scientists found DNA from ancient spiders and trees more than a mile beneath the surface — indicating the ice did not melt during what is called earth's last "interglacial period" — when average temperatures were nine degrees Fahrenheit warmer than they are now.
