The North and South Poles are magnetically atrractive (allowing one to find North on a compass), and also they are used as "cooling units" for earth, maintaining its temperature. Global Warming may be causing the melting of the Polar Ice Caps due to the pollution of industrial factories, smoke stacks, and power plants, but it also may be a Solar Cycle (ending in 2012 and restarting, according to the Mayans), which would lead to the fact why an Ice Age happens once every 17,000 years.
