Glacier Surfing.

Some adventuresome surfers are taking advantage of glaciers that are breaking up by surfing in the waves caused by falling chunks of ice! The surfers must be towed out close to the glacier, but not too close, or they risk death by falling ice. Then they must guess where and when a wall of ice will fall. Glacial surfers wear helmets and specially-padded wetsuits to guard against injury. Glacial waves can be as high as 30 feet, and provide a ride that can last several minutes. Link

Global warming is a fake.

Use petrol guys. We have got petrol for the next centuries without a problem.

But don`t use so much like Al Gore or we`ll run out of oil very soon !!!
