With all the hot air the libs are belching it's no wonder. Perhaps we could put the libs together on the heavy side to balance it out.
You know if the Earth stops rotating and there's no more gravity, people will be flying all over the place.

These maroons...
This calls for another drink!
BTT!!!!!!
Nah...Marxists running third world countries and the USA along with the UN create a lopsided planet.

classic... i remember the NASA study that set out to measure ice melt in antartica (spurred by hysteria resulting from satellite images showing a break in the ross ice shelf)... anyway, the study showed *gasp* sea ice was INCREASING as a whole over the continent. glad to see our fine universities are forming hypotheses around measurements, rather than proving hypotheses through fundamentally sound experimentation. hmmmm... by the same logic, i would like to hypothesize that heavily concentrated regions of human activity (cities) likewise create a lobsided earth, and could eventually fracture the earth's crust. show me the money!
Could have read.
Global Warming Might Reveal Motherlode of Gold Under Arctic Ice Cap. Worldwide Wealth Would End "War on Poverty."

just didn't look as impressive in its raw form, including data from before the time they decided to start their graph, and before 'rounding' the stats to smooth out the handle of their stick:

This guy's books generally get a lot of coverage in the media and promotion by the publishing community. This one hasn't been mentioned.
That should tell us something beyond the fact that he is a pot-boiler author.
Don't forget the global warming induced herpes out of nowhere.
Now which way is it to the Global Warming conference?
Is this the same guy who suggested citrus fruit came from outer space to conquer the earth ?
Now, if ice covering land melts and runs into the ocean it could cause levels to rise, but the ice on antartica just keeps getting thicker.
S. Fred Singer, Ph.D.
Global sea level (SL) has undergone a rising trend for at least a century; its cause is believed to be unrelated to climate change [1]. We observe, however, that fluctuations (anomalies) from a linear SL rise show a pronounced anti-correlation with global average temperature--and even more so with tropical average sea surface temperature. We also find a suggestive correlation between negative sea-level rise anomalies and the occurrence of El Nino events. These findings suggest that--under current conditions-- evaporation from the ocean with subsequent deposition on the ice caps, principally in the Antarctic, is more important in determining sea-level changes than the melting of glaciers and thermal expansion of ocean water. It also suggests that any future moderate warming, from whatever cause, will slow down the ongoing sea-level rise, rather than speed it up. Support for this conclusion comes from theoretical studies of precipitation increases [2] and from results of General Circulation Models (GCMs) [3,4]. Further support comes from the (albeit limited) record of annual ice accumulation in polar ice sheets [5].

I also have read another research finding that mid-glacier ice deposition was found happening on glaciers around Siberian Arctic. Can't find the link right now, but if this young student can extricate his head out from his anal sphincter long enough to do some actual research, he could find it easily. If I can find it, I'll post it.
Lopsided!!?? What a maroon!
