So... Americans are trying force even the earth to comply with what they think is the "right way." Shorter and fatter.

I really suggest you read the article before sprouting this nonsense. A short cut from the article if you can understand: "They considered that ice melting at the poles and raising the overall sea level could be the culprit. Calculations showed, however, that "you would have to drop a 10-by-10-by-5-kilometer cube of it into the ocean every year for the past five years." Separate measurements of sea surface height from NASA's TOPEX/Poseidon mission don't support this scenario"
They are talking about Ocean currents causing this effect not global warming which was completely ignored by slashdot which I am not surprised considering they will post any story to push their political agenda. Read the article and think before you write such crap. Thanks
