Looking at the calendar and the phase diagram for water, I'd have to conclude the answer is no (except perhaps at the margins).

Didn't you watch the movie "Day after Tomorrow". They aren't making that stuff up. That will happen one day because the polar ice caps are melting. It has happened many times in the earths past and it will happen again. Scientists/Climatologists just can't agree on exactly when it will happen. Could be next year, could be 10,000 years. Nobody knows for sure. It is the earths natural cycle. It is the way the earth cleans itself. It melts, freezes, and then scrubs everything off with ice. Hope I am not around when it happens.

Begging your pardon, yet this purely confirms what the environmentalists have been asserting. international warming is inflicting the polar ice caps to soften. If it keeps unabated, coastal cities, cities, and villages around the international would be inundated. Oh, I comprehend! The NW Passage cuts costs for international firms as they deliver deadly toys from China to US! for sure this is the greater effective good! ***

Well, in a documentary i watched, the amount of Co2 from our vehicles that goes in the air is billions a year in which Co2 cause heat. they showed our ice caps melting or large pieces of it breaking off. they said that in 100 years our climate has dropped only 100 degrees in 1 century. allot of the people studying the climate says thats not good, while others says its good cause Co2 is a "plant fertilizer". Hope this helps you out!

It's -16c in Churchill,Mb at this moment. And that's WARM for this time of the year. And if you want to get to the north pole from that town,you still have a lotta walking to do from there!

That is what some studies have been claiming ever since people started concentrating on increasing ocean/sea levels.

No. It gets colder when winter begins. It just gets a little less cold than it did last year.

No, it's all frozen up. The northwest passage that thawed last summer has frozen back up and the polar bears can walk back to land if they haven't done so already.

Well, why not ask someone who knows specifically.
Like the eskimos, canadians, greenlanders, norweigians,...
From what I've read in the news, its not just melting, its breaking up - alarmingly, which is one of the things that is aggravating the envionmental activists.
Problem is - there is nothing we can do to prevent it from getting worse.
cheers babe!!
