It's strangley silent. I think they're probably thinking about posting how it was warmer 400 years ago like the mediteraean, though I'd love to here the data on this - or that Iceland ice sheet is getting thicker by 6cm a year!!! (only what they don'ttell you is that it's only getting thicker at elevations exceeding 1500m. Below that level, it is receeding at 2cm a year,
edit:
THIS IMAGE WOULD SUGGEST VERY LITTLE OF iCELAND IS ABOVE 1500M
EDIT 2
I wouldcontend that the increase in ice above 1500m is due to an increase in snowfall caused by an increase in water vapour (as the ice caps melt). At 1500m it's cold enough not to melt - though this is all speculation.
