You trying to talk me into this or out of it?
It is also thought that there has been no overall loss of ice in the world during the past 17 years. The amount of ice in Antarctica has been growing faster than the amount of of ice has been decreasing in Greenland and glaciers in the Northern hemisphere.
Ice melting at the North Pole has a negligible effect on sea level because it is floating in the Arctic Ocean. As an experiment for the kids place ice in a glass and fill it with water. Place a mark at the level of the water, let the ice melt and see what happens to the water level.
Virtually all of the computer models that have been used to predict global warming failed to predict the current lull in the rise of temperatures. None of the models take into account observed solar activity which has been used for hundreds of years to predict future climate with much greater accuracy than the computer models. Unfortunately, if solar activity turns out to be an accurate indicator of future global temperatures there is a good chance that we will be in for cooling not warming.
So where is all this water going to come from?
Not happening, but Manhattan having water streets like Venice - not so bad.
Interesting concept. When a "religious" prediction of doom and gloom doesn't pan out, the predictor is called a lunatic, a fanatic, or much worse.
When a "scientific" prediction of doom and gloom doesn't pan out, the predictor is hailed for alerting us to the danger and given a mega-grant by the government to come up with more goofball predictions that also will not come true. Either that, or the timeline is such that the prediction will happen long after anyone associated with it has long since assumed room temperature.
Throw in Detriot and you’ve got something there.
