The political cartoon on the Forum page of the Casper-Star December 8th would be funny if it wasn't so wrong. The North Pole does not have an ice cap. Only Greenland and Antarctica do. This is just one of the reasons the person on the street is so uneducated about climate change. Every bit of sea ice could melt at the North Pole and the oceans would lower. Water takes up more space when it is frozen than when it is liquid. Now if the ice caps in Greenland and Antarctica melt, we are in deep trouble. I have studied climate change in two graduate schools long before it was a common topic. It is way too complicated a subject to explain in a newspaper or magazine article. Hence all of the confusion in the general public.
