I thought the “other” polar cap was growing at a much faster pace over the same time perior. The article doesn’t seem to mention that.
So only melting ice in the southern hemisphere makes ocean levels rise. And freezing water in the norhtern hemisphere also makes ocean levels rise, right?
It was much warmer during the Medieval warm period and the world didn’t end. This is all lies to scare the sheeple into giving up their money and freedom to the government.
Lets see, San Francisco on one side and D.C. on the other. The big melt sounds like a good thing.
Ok, so 10’ of sea rise from the West Antarctic glacier, and another 10’ from the East Antarctic one. Plus, thanks to gravity the water flows to the Northern Hemispehere* adding an additional 20%. So 24’ of sea rise.
How many feet above sea level is the beachfront pad Al Gore paid millions for again?
(* so, if the gravitational impacts of the melting Antarctic ice are enough to send most of the water to the Northern Hemisphere, why isn’t this counteracted by the melting Arctic icepack and Greenland glaciers?)
Glo-BULL warming actually started as a misinformation campaign during Mao’s Cultural Revolution — an attempt to discredit the west, capitalism and industrialism.
China eventually learned to love capitalism and industrialization, but the radical fringe of the Enviro-NUT movement took up the idea. A generation later, after BILLIONS of dollars were spread around to lapdog scientists looking to score a few bucks, the myth is now part of the liberal canon. The only problem: There is ZERO actual science to back it up.
So, why worry about something we can't control?
Good. If it is irreversible, they can shut up about it at last.
I would like to see two words banned. If and may.

It’s summer down there and the use of West Antarctica makes me think, “What’s happening in East Antarctica that they’re not telling us?”
Maybe soon we'll be able to say that people in SF and DC are living in "sailover country".
“HE played on OUR FEARS!” - Al Gore Jr.
Reminds me of a kid in 2nd grade. Explained how he lost our ice-skating race because we were going up-hill. IIRC it was ‘cuz we went from the deep end to the shallow end of the pond. Even then I knew he was wrong. I think he might be a liberal politcian now - seriously. Same name and about the same age.
And probably still comes up with stupid reasons for make believe problems. (That needs lots of money to fix).
We’re all gonna die!
Film at 11.
Just checked the temperature was -50*. How much ice melting at that temp.
The ocean level rose more than 300 feet at the end of the last ice about ten centuries ago.
People moved to higher ground.
There was some pretty severe environmental disruption. The Pacific Ocean mixed with the Arctic Ocean. The Sea of Japan linked up with the Pacific Ocean. The Black Sea, which was a brackish freshwater lake, became filled with salt water. The Falklands became islands. Florida lost huge amounts of land. And so on and so on.
Even if the scenarios painted by these people are spot on, it isn’t the end of the world. It’s stuff that happens. Sea levels fluctuate. So that resort beach is now great clamming beds. It’s not a big deal.
Of course it will be “worse”. If I drop an ice cube on the floor and leave it, I have to use a napkin to wipe it up. If I dump the entire bucket and leave it.....
