And last year it was expanding. The global warming theorists really should try to get on the same page if the expect to be taken seriously.

This comes on the heels of a paper published by Science two weeks ago that reported that Greenland was also losing big chunks of ice and contributing to sea level rise at a rate of 0.57 mm/yr.

.57 mm per year!!??

AAAAAAHHHHHHH, RUN! We're all gonna drown! Oh no!


f*cking retards.

My hair is thinning and has been for the past 20 years...while it's grown on other parts of my body. Am I doomed?

So has anyone measured a sea level rise in New York of 1 mm???

[Cicero]

We're doomed!

[End Times Sentinel]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it gets warmer, there's more CO2, which triggers more blue green alge in the oceans, which leads to a carbon sink, and more O2 and a cooling atmosphere.  Who cares?

 it was probably sarcasm)

[Mike Darancette]

AAAAAAHHHHHHH, RUN

Even these guys are fast enough to get away.

[mountainlyons]

These people cry wolf so much I do not believe them nor do I care!

[cripplecreek]

We didn't listen.

[dfwgator]

So this means were not doomed after all?

By stock in Alaska land companies. We may all be moving there! My point. So what if the world changes. We change with it. Americans are way too fearful for their own good. Americans from even 40 years ago would say we've turned into a bunch of risk averters. Think about it. we are constantly trying to reduce stress. Why? Stress is what got us to this stage of development.

Heavy....why is everything heavy?? is there something wrong with the gravitational field of the earth in the future???

[Archon of the East]

If they were wrong last year, why should we believe them politically oriented scientist's now. Besides If they are right, big deal we lose some coastal liberal rat holes and some of the deserts become fertile, you know like they use to be. As if negative feedback loops that for Aeon's has stabilized the Earth's climate under much more sever conditions have now all of a sudden are going to succumb to plant food and cow farts causing an out of control positive feedback loop. Well thats what they are really saying.

I live about 400 ft above sea level. When do I get ocean front property?

And there is this:

Greenland icecap growing thicker

[Bean Counter]

"0.4 ± 0.2 mm/year."

Four tenths, plus or minus two tenths of a milimeter per year.

cue Chicken Little...

[nightdriver]

It's about time that the Earth reclaimed some of the locked-up water that has been accumulating in glacial and polar ice over the years.

The zero-point of the sea, meticulously established on a small cliff on an island (The Isle of the Dead) off the southeast coast of Australia in 1841, shows that the ocean level has lowered by about 30 cm (about a foot) since 1841.

Increasing at less than a millimeter per year, it's going to take quite a while to simply re-establish the sea to its 1841 level.

Please don't use that french measurement system.

.57mm = .022 or 22/1000 of an inch.
thats right 50 yrs for a 1 inch rise
( assuming the weather doesn't change)

remember why the metric system was invented.
So a frenchman can say to his girlfriend,
baby I've got a 100mm for you tonight.
