A WILD PLAN TO AVERT CATASTROPHIC SEA-LEVEL RISE
Atlantic ^ | 12/6/24 | Ross Anderson

Posted on 06/16/2024 9:32:42 AM PDT by Eleutheria5

he edge of Greenland’s ice sheet looked like a big lick of sludgy white frosting spilling over a rise of billion-year-old brown rock. Inside the Twin Otter’s cabin, there were five of us: two pilots, a scientist, an engineer, and me. Farther north, we would have needed another seat for a rifle-armed guard. Here, we were told to just look around for polar-bear tracks on our descent. We had taken off from Greenland’s west coast and soon passed over the ice sheet’s lip. Viewed from directly above, the first 10 miles of ice looked wrinkled, like elephant skin. Its folds and creases appeared to be lit blue from within.

We landed 80 miles into the interior with a swervy skid. Our engineer, a burly Frenchman named Nicolas Bayou, jerked the door open, and an unearthly cold ripped through the cabin. The ice was smoother here. The May sunlight radiated off it like a pure-white aurora. We knew that there were no large crevasses near the landing site. This was a NASA mission. We had orbital reconnaissance. Still, our safety officer had warned us that we could “pop down” into a hidden crack in the ice if we ventured too far from the plane. Bayou appointed himself our Neil Armstrong. He unfolded the ladder, stepped gingerly down its rungs, and set foot on the surface.

blahblahblah

Anderson describes Greenland and doesn't get around to Antarctica 'til the paywall. I'm idly curious about his "wild plan," but can safely say like Groucho Marx, whatever it is, I'm against it.

If anyone got past the paywall, please post the rest of the article.

they tried to ‘fix’ the climate by seeding clouds- and caused how many billions of dollars in damage, lost lives, etc recently? Yeah, let’s keep screwing with the environment - their track record has been soo successful... not

Biberty, biberty, biberty!!!
If you notice on that annoying commercial that shows statue of liberty or any other photo of Ellis Island the sea level has not risen in 200 years!
Now if they can explain how the ocean rises in one are but not others, well it means nothing. Gulf of Mexico, sea levels unchanged.
Hawaii piss islands, level unchanged.
Oh did I mentioned we are going to have horrendous hurricanes this year? Yea, thats weather fear BS also.
Plymouth rock? Sea level unchanged. Oops, got that one out of order!!!
Happy Father’s Day wherever you are!

The Atlantic is full of sewage and crabs and garbage.

It’s also the name of an ocean.

It’s as if Icarus has been reborn 100 times over—all as evil and foolish mega-billionaires.

I’ve read about “climate scientists” seriously proposing that we set off nukes to trigger a mild nuclear winter effect, sending enough dust into the upper atmosphere to partially block the sun’s light for several years. That, is insane.

That is because these freaks have rejected God and our Lord Jesus Christ. Instead, they try to fill the void with worship of the Earth (creation) instead of the Creator. But, instead of keeping it to themselves they force everyone to participate in their creation worship.

I think I’ll give the climate alarmists a free plan so they can avoid sea-level rise.

Have everyone of them go to the edges of all the oceans, and each one of them drink two gallons of water and then piss all of it into the air and have big fans blow all of the humidity into outer space. Nothing less will help.

Increase the sponge population. Will absorb the water.

Is there anywhere where the sea level has actually risen; as opposed to the land subsiding?

There is a path in England called the Broomway. You can look it up. Twice a day it is covered by a rising tide. It is still passable at low tide. It has been in use for 600 years.

I’m going to start to make twice as many ice cubes in the freezer. That should help.

I was thinking more along the lines of drilling a hole in the bottom and draining some of the water out.

... of course we’d need a giant cork to stick in the hole to prevent it from emptying completely.
