I seem to remember reading an article in the not-too-distant past that dealt with ocean depth and global warming (the study was carried out by REAL scientists, not the frauds involved in climatology). Basically, it was found that ocean depth hadn't increased at all, and that it may have instead gone down very slightly. So much for the global warming kook theories that the media loves to bandy about.
I'll try to find the article, although I'm pretty sure I found it at the Junk Science web site.
I think it was Sci Fi writer Charles Sheffield who wrote this New York Times front page headline:
"World to End Tomorrow; Women, Minorities Hardest Hit"
Being a REAL scientist, I agree with your description as stated above.
Make a bet with an envoironmental agitator.Wait till the ice melts and water level falls. Collect bet.
As Winston Churchill said "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing has happened."
Nothing like making your arguement with an unsubstanciated piece of propaganda like this. This is theory and most likely a drug induced bit of enviro-crapola at that.
Global warming, on the other hand, is still an unsubstantiated theory
With a line like this, how can I take the rest of Alexandra's writing seriously? Duh, warm water is always on the surface, it doesn't rise from below. Anybody who pays attention to real weather news knows that an El Nino condition is caused by strong easterly winds blowing warm water across the equatorial Pacific towards the Americas.
I wonder what a partial El Nino is like?

Ah, but what did they say Sunday? These predictions have a way of changing.
I hate to dispute, but this "fact" is the subject of fierce debate. To flippently say it is not in dispute is a distortion (ie: my cat and I never argue about this), or an outright lie.
Further, what about the reports a few weeks ago that the western Antartic ice sheet was getting thicker (adding ice, therefore taking up existing liquid water), and that Antarctica is getting colder.
Whatever the real truth may be, it is an obvious conclusion that changing public policy (laws, regulations, Kyoto, etc) based on such contradictory and contentious theories is assinine at best and criminally negligent at worst.
