ScienceDaily (Jan. 11, 2008) — New research challenges the generally accepted belief that substantial ice sheets could not have existed on Earth during past super-warm climate events. The study by researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego provides strong evidence that a glacial ice cap, about half the size of the modern day glacial ice sheet, existed 91 million years ago during a period of intense global warming. This study offers valuable insight into current day climate conditions and the environmental mechanisms for global sea level rise.

It seems several studies have come out recently that contradict the NASA article that claimed all global ice may be gone by 2012. There are lots of opinions on this subject.
