Old but Interesting...

The article states "They used to be called ice stalactites until 1974, until a new theory was advanced as to how they are created.". The Global Warmining crisis had not even begun to take root in 1974 I think, and I have to presume based on the fact that these occur in freezing waters which have occurred for millions of years that this is in no way a modern phenomenom. I may be wrong and I won't pretend to be a scientist but due to the factors that occur to create these it would be simply unbelievable if these have only happened for the last few decades. On a different but simlar (!?) note I'm looking forward to the Global Warming episode later in the series - did you hear that the American channels that bought the programme to show to their audiences refused to air the Global Warming episode? Well done America...just bury your head in the sand and it will all go away!
