Tin-foil, also known as 'aluminum foil' when folded correctly, floats.

and the more cold water that gets dumbed into the atlantic will mess up the warm gulf current, and make europe very cold!!!

IBBF! (In Before Bush's Fault)

The sad thing about this is that this topic is so politicized that you don't take any of these studies at face value. And they've cried wolf so many times...

[neodad]

The scientists found that warmer air temperatures have increased the overall shrinkage

Kind of counter-intuitive, don't you think?

[Wiseghy]

didn't another study say that precipitation and snow levels were rising as well, causing the glaciers to grow at their peaks? Warming may be just speeding up a process of deposition and melting with little net change.

[Mike Darancette]

Scientists who carried out the first comprehensive analysis of changing speeds of the glaciers on the world's largest island were shocked to discover that many have doubled in speed within the past decade.

Now let me get this straight, in Alaska "global warming" is causing the glaciers to retreat, but in Greenland "global warming" causes glaciers to advance?

[traceman]

It seems to me the glaciers should be retreating away and not advancing toward the ocean if they are melting,and the ocean level rising is probably only in the computer projections of algore and every other ex-hippy enviro-wacko who wants to stop the USA from producing anything. man-made global warming is no doubt the biggest hoax ever pulled in history

Pass the baloney.

Last century they rose by 10-20cm.

Not according to this benchmark, struck in 1841:

(Mean Sea Level)

[taxesareforever]

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has estimated that global sea levels will increase by 10-90cms over the next century.

This could be a good school class project. Every day take them down to the beach and watch the water level rise. (Psst. Don't tell them about the tide)

Should be good for Greenland farmers!

GREENLAND'S GLACIERS CONTINUE TO MELT

HEADLINE FROM FEB. 17, 1150 A.D.

A vast majority of the ports and marinas with tide gages are in the Atlantic Basin. The shores of the Atlantic Basin are largely riding atop crust this is subsiding. (Contrast this with the lesser ported Pacific shore's overall uplift). I rest my case.

Greenland was once warm enough to sustain Viking settlements for quite some time. Then it cooled off again and they were forced out.
