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?”
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.
Gee wasn’t it about a year ago when a ship full of environmentalist whackos sailed to the Antarctic to see all the melting and their ship was caught in the ice for weeks. It took an international fleet of ice breakers to free their ship. The whackos were so appalled by the carbon emissions spent in their rescue they had to plant hundreds of trees to atone for their carbon sins.
It ‘could’ be the year we discover Unicorns are taking over the world too...
The phrase "The sky is falling!" features prominently in the story, and has passed into the English language as a common idiom indicating a hysterical or mistaken belief that disaster is imminent. Versions of the story go back more than 25 centuries
Melting ICE.?.... thats Soooo cool..
