All these questions are the reason why they are not able to get a reasonably accurate computer model for climate. TOO Many variable to account for.
What you say is accurate, but also the fact is that cloud cover, water vapor, is the most prominent. As the ice caps melt more clouds and more water vapor is absorbed into the atmosphere more clouds would blanket the planet. At first it would trap heat, but after a period of time would it then begin to block sunshine lowering the temperature causing the ice caps to reform?
It is NOT SCIENCE at all it is pseudoscience.
Exactly! Trade through sea travel is as old as civilization itself. Yet, we have scene ports of call that have been virtually unchanged since the days of ancient Rome.
Now it is called GLOBAL CLIMATE DISRUPTION. An even more ominous yet completely meaningless term.
What’s a “Rudiak”? And if I have one and can find the damn thing, can I Wank it?

Dear NPR,
Your Mama.
I am not an expert in science by any means, but how can people who know better stay silent?
I have some other questions as well. These wind mills have they actually made the planet windier? Wind speeds in some areas have actually increased. A roofer told me about how the wind test standards have gone up in the area he's in, in the last 20 years. Now the variable< is this because the insurance companies and the government have raised the standard or is it because the wind has increased? I need to research wind speeds during the last ice age.
Solar power. Solar panels are said to kill birds. They probably have something to do with our honey bee problem as well. So if they are frying birds and bugs, should we not be looking for ways to harness that energy? Because if all that heat is coming off the panels and reflecting back into the sky would that not cause a change of sorts?
I have tried to google this stuff. But I can't get any real data because of all the junk science out there. Anyone here really know the facts on these things?
The Antarctic continent ice sheet is the largest volume followed by Greenland. If you were to add up the volume of ice in all the glaciers that is probably a large number.

Yes, but there is no land under the Arctic ice cap.

But the Antarctic ice sheet has been GROWING, not melting, and there isn’t enough ice in all of Greenland to raise the tides in Norfolk by 1.5 inches, let alone 1.5 feet. This is nonsense.

They are not silent.
They are ignored, ridiculed, castigated, ostracized, defunded, and destroyed.
Sad, that’s what the Nazi’s did to their scientists that would not toe the line. We made out on that deal, Einstein etc. Don’t know who wins on this one.
Since God created the sun, it’s God’s fault.
Only time but before leftists include this in their attack on Him.
You are correct if it’s sea ice that you’re talking about. However, much of the ice on earth is locked into glaciers in Antarctica. This ice is NOT currently in the world’s oceans. Therefore, melting of the Antarctic ice would result in higher sea levels. It’s true that melting the ice cube in your glass doesn’t cause the water level to rise. However, taking an ice cube from outside your glass, melting it and putting the water in your glass most certainly does cause the level to go up.
The Sun?

Yes, of course.

The Antarctic ice is GROWING, not melting.
