Ice Sheets Can Retreat 'In A Geologic Instant,' Study Of Prehistoric Glacier Shows
Science News ^ | June 22, 2009 | University at Buffalo

Modern glaciers, such as those making up the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, are capable of undergoing periods of rapid shrinkage or retreat, according to new findings by paleoclimatologists at the University at Buffalo... The proof of such rapid retreat of ice sheets provides one of the few explicit confirmations that this phenomenon occurs. Should the same conditions recur today, which the UB scientists say is very possible, they would result in sharply rising global sea levels, which would threaten coastal populations...The researchers used a special dating tool at UB to study rock samples they extracted from a large fjord that drained the ice sheet that covered the North American Arctic during the past Ice Age. The samples provided the researchers with climate data over a period from 20,000 years ago to about 5,000 years ago, a period when significant warming occurred.

The link to this article about the need to stop recycling didn’t work. Can you post a link again.

I have had an ongoing discussion with several that recycling is wasteful in time and expensive and not efficient.

No one believes me.....so thanks for your post.

Yes he does and i have been searching for any linked article that can produce the names of his companies and what they do....how he will make millions if not billions if cap a nd trade passes.

Yesterday someone posted an article about how Goldman Sachs stands to make millions from the Crap Tax bill.

Now I just need the Algore information.

thanks in advance to anybody who has this.

I've not seen a comprehensive compilation of Algore's environmental investments, but this link could be a start of some interesting research.

Just in case others are searching - http://newsbusters.org/node/11149 is a great link in this search to connect the Gloredots with the money machine about to be uncorked on the unsuspecting millions through cap and trade.

“Yesterday someone posted an article about how Goldman Sachs stands to make millions from the Crap Tax bill.”

Goldman Sachs is represented from the top to the bottom of Obama’s administration. Ben and Tim on down. If a republican POTUS had this, he would be crucified.
