Global Warming/ Siberia beginning to thaw

Interesting article about how some scientists now believe that we've reached a no-turn-around "tipping point" in regards to global warming.

I guess it's possible that human contributions are messing things up, but I still think natural factors are the biggest culprit. We just don't know enough about past weather to say with certainty what is "typical" for earth's climate. I think there's a lot of room for error in ice core analysis and other methods.

On the other hand, we do have a responsibility to be watching out for the environment.
