Melting glaciers and ice sheets are releasing cancer-causing pollutants into the air and oceans, scientists say.Of course, all this comes as record low temperatures are hitting Cancun, the site of the UN global Warming Conference.
The long-lasting chemicals get into the food chain and build up in people’s bodies – triggering tumours, heart disease and infertility.
The warning comes in new international study into the links between climate change and a class of man-made toxins called persistent organic pollutants.
The study – due to be published next month – says rising temperatures and more extreme weather are increasing human exposure to pollutants around the world, including in Britain.
It's interesting that as climate con-men get more and more desperate the doom-and-gloom scenarios they have to peddle become more and more extreme as they attempt to get the world's attention to their misguided theories.
I think we can safely go back to eating glaciers.

"Persistent organic pollutants?"
More like these folks are in some persistent vegetative state.
