That one line could explain all of the GW hysteria...
After all, the ANAGRAM for "Climate Change" is "Technical game".
Bologna! The science is settled! Algore told me so!
If they are “just now” discovering this, how can they know whether its normal or not? Was it more or less 100, 500, 1000 years ago?
‘Squishy’?? In the Scientific Lexicon, is that somewhere close to ‘Icky’???
There needs to be a worldwide law that we never set any political policy based on scientific hypotheses. You can always find something later that contradicts prior data, or misread the data, or have incorrect data due to deliberate or indeliberate calibration and/or placement issues.
Oh btw eggs are good again.
Well, our coastal cities aren’t yet underwater like Algore said they’d be so somebody had to find an inconvenient excuse.
Funny thing, I did a empirical experiment.
I filled a glass almost to the top with water, then added icecubes till the water came to the top of the glass.
Then I waited foe the ice to melt.
The water level remained the same and the glass never overflowed.
I ran the “sea rise” calculations myself, to see what complex model they used.
If you take the area of the ice cap times its mean thickness, you get an approximation of ice volume. Then you simply see what the volume of water would be, if it melted (a simple density change), and you get a number crudely approximating the water volume. Then add that volume evenly to the volume of existing ocean, and you get the “sea rise” number everyone tosses around. This is not a complex model, it’s back-of-the-envelope hand calculator stuff, with a few numbers from Wiki thrown in.
I did not consider density changes as a function of ice depth, I also assumed the ice is isotropic with no internal structure, and did not account for salinity or gravity. But I got the same “sea rise” number, so I probably got the “model” correct.
When scientists suddenly discover that the problem is more complex than the scare numbers the greens toss around, I am not surprised!
Hmmm.. sounds like global warming as really done it now, this says the earth is the one melting the ice sheets and not humans. Who’da thunk it????
“Deeply buried ice may melt because overlying layers insulate the base, hemming in heat created there by friction, or radiating naturally from underlying rock,” Columbia University said in a statement along with the study. “When the ice melts, refreezing may take place in multiple ways ... If it collects along mountain ridges and heads of valleys, where the ice is thinner, low temperatures penetrating from the surface may refreeze it. In other cases, water gets squeezed up valley walls, and changes pressure rapidly.
There are a huge amounts of IF'S and MAY's and Could's in this article .... in other words what they were sure of is not true so MAYBE it is worse (or not)
This is not science,it is bending science to meet what you think
Speaking of Greenland, why is it called Greenland when it is covered with ice?
The vice of an article like this is accepting the false premise of “global warming”, or whatever Al Whore is calling it these days.
So what use are ice cores beyond a limited depth?
