Interesting take on things.

It will retain more heat if its black, thereby stopping the expansion of the ice sheet.

Yes, that was it. To stop all that shiney ice and snow reflecting the sun's radiation back into space.

But if it retained the heat it would melt and trickle away wouldn't it, and you'd have to put a new coat on it every day or so?

Oh I don't know. It was supposed to be cunning anyway.

Brrrrrr.

I keep warm by burning copies of the Guardian. If I ever catch that Polly Toynbee I'll splash out on extra fuel just to make sure.

Ah bless. Just turn up your gas fire in your Swindon ex-council house and get cosy. Live the thinking to those who can.

We'll all have solar panels and wind farms that will heat our homes for free and save us from Global Warming.

Heating our homes for free will also save us from the approaching Ice Age.

That reminds me, in the old Ice Age-fearing days of the seventies, scientists hatched a cunning plan to cover the Arctic ice with black dye, but I can't remember what for.

Or it might have been soot.

I think you are rather gullible...

It's all a bit rich really. The Ukranians want to pay the Ruskies the old Warsaw pact price for gas but charge it out at European prices. The Ruskies only want a fairer cut of the pie.

all very well but where else are we going to get all our gas from?

I'm thinking a Russian push into Ukraine to "secure our energy pipelines" from Ukrainian "terrorists" is on the cards...

Don't think they'll do that. They may face a stern ticking off from the EU!!!

We should have thought about that before rather than relying on a 'terrorist' state.
