Scientists Have Reduced the Forecast of Sea Level Rise Seven Times Due to Melting of the Antarctic

Some climate scientists are actually doing science. Now to get some of this downstream to the communists pushing for the complete reorganization of economic systems, or at least those that support them....

[Carriage Hill]

A big nothing-burger, w/ cheese.

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

All the models that claim to predict events years from now are bogus.

We simply cannot do it.

There is no way to validate the models.

We do not have the data.

[BusterDog]

Nevertheless, just to be sure, we should cease all air and motor travel. We will be the only country that does this, but America must lead by example. We will find a way. Think of the children. We can accomplish this is 12 years by increasing punitive taxation and shaming via media outlets.

[Steely Tom]

Sounds like something less than “settled science.”

[GraceG]

I like how they freak out when any ice bergs break off the antarctic ice shelves, but all that ice has always been in the sea which means the net total sea rise is near ZERO anyways if it all melted, we only need to worry about ice in the interior starts melting.

[Steely Tom]

There is no way to validate the models.

Sure there is, are you kidding?

The models are valid if they help us advance our political agenda. Are you new?

[arthurus]

How does the icecap simultaneously lose ice-melt while the volume of ice increases on Antarctica?

[Steely Tom]

...we only need to worry about ice in the interior starts melting.

Oh, that's happening, in the Antarctic.

It's being caused by heat coming up from below.

This earth-generated heat is, of course, America's fault, even though we're about 8000 miles away from the South Pole.

[arthurus]

More than previously ice is apparently flowing iin the glaciers to the edge and breaking off as floes and bergs because more ice is forming in the middle of the landmass forcing the glaciers to move more voluminously.

East coast sea level changes... post glacial rebound?? http://www.antarcticglaciers.org/glaciers-and-climate/sea-level-rise-2/recovering-from-an-ice-age/

This is a NOAA webpage which has looked at increments of 50 year sea level trends at many sites across the US. (and world sites if you click around a little)
https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station.shtml?stnid=8723170
Click on the tab that says, “Variation of 50-Year Relative Sea Level Trends” you can look at different gauges around the country for different 50 year averages.
In most cases the 50 year intervals show declining rates of sea levels on the order of 3-5 millimeters which then level back towards the baseline. That’s millimeters over 5 decades! It’s all BS!

[outofsalt]

Oh, the scientists have declared climate change is settled but they can’t definitively state whether boys are boys or maybe girls, or something...

Perhaps with a few billion more in research funding, they may be able to narrow that one down.

This is one of the most confounding of modern mysteries - scientists everywhere are vying for large grants to study this anomaly but that presents a problem since the the new green deal will soak up much of the available tax revenues and bond sales. Ink will be in short supply so the option of just printing more money is limited. Using metal coins for money are also out of question since mining is forbidden to due to carbon sequestration protocols and the like.

As soon as those new green deal fiscal problems are solved, the scientists promise to get on it right quick.

Said Climate Change advocates do little to make sense.

Because the CO2 in the air is quantum linked to the lava under Antarctica and when that heats up it is causing the lava to heat up thusly melting the ice!!!!

I too can come up with GoreBull warming BS junk science!!! XD

[airborne]

Reality does not matter if you mean well.

Oh, and you have to be a liberal too.

Anthropomorphic quantum entanglement, of course! Why didn't I think of that?
