This snowpack accumulation near the poles, which gets its water via the Arctic and Antarctic oceans, that in turn rob it from equatorial latitudes of our oceans, also results in a reduction in the earth's spin axis moment of inertia and causes the spin rate to increase as evidenced in the recent history of the rate at which Leap Seconds are added to our calendar (see Wysmuller's Toucan Equation for more on this evidence that during this warm time with much greater polar humidity, earlier seasonal, later seasonal and heavier snows are beginning to move water vapor from the oceans to the poles to re-build the polar ice caps and lead us into a global cooling, while man - made CO2 continues to increase http://www.colderside.com/faq.htm).

The strongest evidence in support of climate change is the melting of the polar ice caps, Langcake acknowledges, noting the temperature in Antarctica rose by 2.5 degrees centigrade between 1945 and 1995 and a Norwegian study supporting the idea of a rapidly accelerating melt at both poles, but claims this theory may not be borne out over a longer period.

Although arctic experts said there were many signs of warming, including a thinning and shrinking of the polar ice cap, there was no way to link a patch of sun - dappled water at the pole to climate change.
