Have you seen this youtube video sung to tune of Draging the Line: Hide the Decline. You might be too young to know the song, but, IMO, the video is pretty funny.

BTW, I'll be speaking to a group of teenagers on the subject of global warming this coming Friday. Thanks for all the pings and follow-up comments as thanks to you and others, the kids will have a lot of information with which to answer the alarmists.

Thank goodness, it’s almost over.

Look, if we’re all going to die soon, do I really need to continue to pay my bills?

I live at 3800 feet. Got 2 spare bedrooms, but rent won’t be cheap!

“Under Penalty of Treason Against the People of the United States”

I would like to see some people indicted, but what would such a law wreak with a scumbag like the Bamtard in power?

“86,400 km^3”

Do you know how much water is frozen up in the PIG?

Water expands when it is frozen and varies in density, I doubt even these calculations are correct.

Even the densest ice doesn’t yield a cubic foot of water for a cubic foot of water.

Perhaps the Hudson Mountain Subglacial Volcano is sparking up again.

Surprise There's an Active Volcano Under Antartic Ice.

Did they think we had forgotten?

BTW... I love that song. I love all of her work. She has such an angelic voice that has only gotten better as she matures.

ROM calculation. (Rough order of magnitude.)

According to Wikipedia about 350,000 km3, so it would require about a 25% reduction to raise sea levels about 24 cm or about 9.4".

Why is it that when an ice cube melts in a glass of water, the water level doesn’t change, but when a floating ice shelf (large ice cube) melts in the ocean, sea levels rise, continents are submerged, and we are all going to die?

Just wonderin’
