It is highly unnatural for central Antarctica to grow so since her recent historic climate measured by ice drilling is quite dry and there shouldn't be a lot of precipitation. Actually the growth of the central part and the melting of the coastal parts both are supporting global warming thesis. As for the relations between the growth of central part and ice loss on coastal part, the measurements I've read say that the latest ice loss only from Antarctica produces around 0.4 mm/yr of water rise, while snowfall in central Antarctica is reducing it by around 0.1 mm/yr. So it is quite obvious that the loss is bigger than the thickening. Globally water rise is about 2 mm/yr but in the latest times the ice shelfs became quite unstable and nobody really knows when will some clump of ice with the size of New York or Texas break and rise the water level for much bigger amount.
As for the measures, I think something needs to be done, since the way of living is quite deteriorating our planet. I agree some propositions are quite infantile or even stupid like fuel from herbal sources, especially when dealing with growing Earth population demanding more and more food. But using different light emitters and arranging it differently will. Old light emitters are quite bad, mostly producing heat and not giving enough illumination. Just using newer models of light emitters using not for example 40 W but 14 W can make a big change in energy consumption and by that the use of fuel which powers the power stations.
Wind power is a small and non effective way of producing energy since it needs the right place, permanent wind source and so on... Photovoltaic solar energy is something else, it is not effective now but it is also because of the loss of investment since we are way bellow the physical limit. This is related from the change in design to the change of chemicals used in cells. You also can make simple thermal solar power stations. Just look how regions with no precipitation and whole day sunshine are unused, like Sahara, Atacama and some other desert, which could be used for something useful.
As for cars I think there are to much of them and I think the use of public transport should be promoted. Germany did one great thing it, they made a legislation which made railway free of taxes because of low pollution which gave cheaper tickets and more use of public transport. Not only there is less pollution, but it is quite quicker and comfortable than using a car. As for hybrids I think they are good ideas since the quality of air in urban areas is sometimes horrific and a little improvement is always welcome.
Third thing is intelligent design of living space, use of new materials. It doesn't only pay to environment but also to the person who uses it since the bill for electric energy, gas and water are smaller. Also newer building ideas are quite cheaper because of the materials they use. For example straw bales are quite cheap, they are actually heavy to be ignited by fire and are quite weak heat conductors, so the loss of heat is two times slower than by standard thermal insulators used in mainstream house building. The houses are also quite stable and can be build up to two, three stores which is quite enough for average family needs.
Another thing are new energy sources research like like thermonuclear fusion and the use of nowadays quite safe nuclear fission power stations where by the means of modern design the impact on environment is small and negligible. Average coal power station produces more nuclear radiation by emitting radioactive C-14 in to the atmosphere than average nuclear fission power station. Fusion power stations will even better since there is no remains which would produce nuclear radiation.
The change naturally will not come once instantly, but the bad effects of global warming are present and many things can be done even now. But even now the oil lobby doesn't seem to accept the truth since the only thing they respect is money.

The growth of the central part of the continent is actually very small and negligible and it is quite a small number compared to the loss of the ice on the shores which by new research shows global loss, it is along all the coast of Antarctica. The places where it is more exquisite are Pine Bay and Graham Land [Antarctic peninsula] but it is also much greater than normal in other parts of the Antarctic coast.
I do not think it is a sort of modern media exclusive, it is just the plain language of modern geophysics and mathematics with a big addition of chaos theory because when you change some parameters for a very small amount the changes which happen become quite impressive. I do not say that there are not other quite understandable reasons for such behavior but that the human factor has bigger impact than it had and much bigger impact than some people think.
It is your decision, you can close your eyes and claim it is not happening, listen to the so called "scientists" payed by fossil fuel lobby to speak inaccurate information, or you can open your eyes listen to the voice of uncorrupted scientific community and do something about it.

It depends how you view dimensions and scientists do not augment it at all. For example the difference in average temperature of about 1 degree centigrade doesn't look so big when you say it, but when you put it in climatological models you've got climate with more and more =>F5 storms, droughts, imbalanced precipitation, heat strikes... It is not the topic about how it gets much warmer but how the climate is becoming more extreme. So small differences in temperature give very big differences in climate scenarios. As for Antarctica what I read says otherwise, it is that in average Antarctica is also losing ice and melting quite rapidly. Ice melting in AntarcticaOther impacts of climate can be quite easily connected with economy, productivity and so on... I wouldn't like to imagine Europe without Golf stream heating its shores which is quite possible to happen if the trend goes on as it goes.

It is more a recent conflict since independence [correct me if I am wrong]! It started more like a play for both Croatian and Slovenian politicians to get publicity off from real issues. I can say from my point of view that I am really tired from both Slovenian and Croatian hardcore nationalists since they just buy votes for themselves so. Another thing which irritates me are the treats by Slovenian government about EU entering process which are connected with Croatian ZERP. It is our right to protect our sea resources from overfishing and destruction by International law, but no, they want to brag about it [Italy and Slovenia] how it attacks them, although Italy also has the same kind of sea legislation for themselves. I like Slovenians, but politically I think we are a little to scared from them and a little to soft on them. There should be a harder line in Croatian outer policies because it is dealing with Croatian territory which was accepted since the independence and nobody had problems with it. In the end does it matter, since Croatia is going to enter EU, while Slovenia is in EU and the rules will be the same for all.
Another thing why Croatians do not like Slovenia is the Ljubljanska banka story because people were actually robed by Slovenian bank.
I am really irritated that when these problems are to be solved everything is more important than it, but when something goes wrong in inner policies, international problems just pop up to confuse people. I can also say that Austria does the same to Slovenia, so we don't suffer alone in this political play of induced ignorance.
As for ultra nationalists in any country here my personal view is that they are bunch of idiots with identity crisis which do not know what to do with their lives so they hate the people they do not know anything about. Croatian president Mesic, who many times says both really smart and really stupid things, once said: "Budala i kamenja će uvijek biti!" ["Idiots and stones will always exist!"]

It is interesting how anywhere in democratic world when a journalist finds something out about the government everybody in the government are scared how to defend themselves before the public, ministers loose their jobs, go to questioning and so, while in Croatia when the same happens nobody is worried, all ministers still sit in their chairs, while the poor journalist goes to prison for no specific legislative reason. I sometimes ask myself do I live in Burma or in Europe, how can this happen, all brag about democracy but when something like this happens there is not even a "d" from it.

A što se tiče samoodređenja, to mi je čini se najdraži adut bilo kojeg nacionalista sa maticom zemljom. Molim te objasni zašto onda nije O.K. dati samoodređenje Albancima na Kosovu, a O.K. je dati Srbima u BiH? Ja mislim da se to zovu dvostruki standardi, a ne samoodređenje.
Drugo Bosanac nije nametnuta stvar ljudima, reći da si Bosanac je svjedočenje jedne regije i države staro 1200 godina najmanje, tako da ti uspoređivanje sa Jugoslavijom uopće ne stoji. Bosanac se nije bilo zbog narodne prisile nego identifikacije sa posebnom regijom koja tokom cijele svoje povijesti se nije htjela pokoriti niti Hrvatskoj niti Srbiji bez obzira što su te narodnosti u dosta velikom broju živile tamo.
Ljudima nije nametnuto da se osjećaju Bosancima, naprotiv od 1992. nametnuto im je da se ne osjećaju Bosancima.

Japodian, dok si vec u Zagrebu, popuj Hrvatima kako trebaju da se osjecaju ko Jugosloveni, a postedi Bosanske Srbe te retorike koja ide u korist samo Muslimanskim nacionalistima. Niko nije htjeo biti Jugosloven, ali zato bi Srbi sad trebali da budu Bosanci ili u tvom slucaju Hrvati. Marko pričaš sa čovjekom koji je po ocu Bosanski Srbin i koji vjerujem ima više veze sa Bosnom i statusom bosanskih Srba nego ti. Moja retorika ne ide niti jednim nacionalistima, zapravo smeta svim nacionalistima, bilo Bošnjačkim, Srpskim ili Hrvatskim. Moja retorika u ovom slučaju nije niti Bošnjačka, niti Srpska, niti Hrvatska, nego Bosanska. Zato što su prokleti političari uništili svijest o pripadnosti jednoj regiji, jer kroz cjelu povijest ti ljudi bez obzira na narodnost koja je bila hrvatska, srpska ili bošnjačka su uvijek prvo bili Bosanci, čemu mogu svjedočiti od svoje bosanske strane familije, mene nije briga. Ta svijest o regiji i sada državi jedini je izlaz iz ovog stanja. To kasapljenje Bosne u umovima nekih ljudi mi više liči na neku bolest. Molim te reci što su srpski nacionalisti učinili poštenim hrvatskim i bosanskim Srbima osim im zabili nož u leđa i naveli veliki bijes na njih. Srbi su u Hrvatskoj činili 12% stanovništva, sada čine jedva 5%, dok se bosanske Srbe se u svijetu gleda kao zvijeri i zločince. Molim te objasni mi tko nam je to priskrbio, ja i dosta poštenih hrvatskih i bosanskih Srba svojim djelovanjem sigurno nismo. Objasni nam tko nam je to priskrbio nego radikalni nacionalisti koji k....ca pojma nemaju kako je ljudima u Zagrebu, Glini, Petrinji, Dvoru, Bosanskom Novom/Novom gradu, Prijedoru, Banja Luci, ali bitno da seru svoje bolesne ideje o velikim stupovima srpstva koje imaju samo smisla na odjelu psihijatrije... Mislim da ti nikad nisi bio proganjan samo zbog toga što ti je otac Srbin, ja jesam, pa se stoga smatram prozvanim izraziti svoju kritiku društva. I zato mi je pun kufer nacionalista koji su mi dovoljno oglodali život. To da nitko nije htio biti Jugoslaven je samo tvoj osobni doživljaj, pa te molim nemoj generalizirati. Bilo je dosta ljudi, pogotovo Srba u Hrvatskoj i Bosanaca koji su se osjećali Jugoslovenima. I pored toga kome ću ja popovati je moja stvar i moje ljudsko pravo. I u Hrvatskoj imam stav u kojem se strogo zalažem za ideju građanske, a ne samo narodnosne države. Također ako ćemo po tvojoj logici, jedini ljudi kojima ti možeš popovati su Kanađani!

Who will be victorious, serbs, croats or native Bosniaks? What ethno-geographical rearrangements to expect? NATO and Russia would intervene in no time and kick ass since both need stable base in Balkans. After that Bosnia would fully become international colony. I think it is stupid to think about the another war in Bosnia. Come on, weren't those dreadful five years enough for everybody. I think the best way is to stop with war idiocy, stop following what Edo Maajka called the genetics of "balije, ustaše i četinici" and think about the future of the land and the children of Bosnia. There shouldn't be any Bosniaks, Croats or Serbs in Bosnia, only Bosnians. Bosnia doesn't need nationalism, she needs patriotism, and those two thing can be quite distant.

Explain to me hellboy how many Bosniaks are there in Bosnia. About 1/3, while Serbs and Croats compromise other 2/3. Exactly the same attitude from Serbs in Kosovo gave rise to tensions and separation of Kosovo. You should look for example in Kazakhstan, although there are many Russians, around 25 % [sometimes there was more Russians than Kazakhs], the country gives all their citizens equal rights and all of them love their country, and there is no international hate.
Listening to such nationalism and chauvinism from you hellboy often makes me sick. Bosnia is not for Bosniaks only, but for Bosnians, be it Serbs, Croats or Bosniak, for all people of Bosnia. It is not some kind of special Bosniak only land. Do you understand what a term constitutive nation means? It means that all that three people [Bosniak, Serb and Croat] make one Bosnian nationality. But what can a person do when the whole nation is a victim or the divisional propaganda made by foreign policies.
"Bošnjak, kao Srbin i Hrvat, je samo narodnost, Bosanac je nacionalnost."
Let me explain on my personal experience. I have many friends who are Croatian Serbs and lived their whole lives in Croatia, have done nothing against her and love her as their home. For them Croatia, not Serbia, is their home. They adopted the way of living in Croatia, and although Serbs, not Croats, consider themselves to be Croatians [which is not always equal to being Croat]. If you and your nation [meaning nation, not ethnicity] finally accept it they have a bright future before them, if not you will still have problems and be European colony which need supervision because it can not control itself.

I like it more than the original "Plavi Orkestar" version! One of my favorite Turkish movies are "Vizontele" and "Vizontele Tuuba". I am a big fan of Kardeş Türküler so if somebody has something to share I would be very grateful. Please? One very nice song in old Serbian melody from Sanja Ilić and Balkanika, hope you enjoy it! I do not know how Bulgarians reacted to their Eurovision song, but I was stunned.
