Ward Hunt Ice Shelf Breaks In Two
heidi writes "CNN has this story on the breakup of the largest ice cap. A permanent feature for the previous 3,000 years, it has broken into two pieces. "The Ward Hunt Ice Shelf, on the north coast of Ellesmere Island in Canada's Nunavut territory, broke into two main parts, themselves cut through with fissures. A freshwater lake drained into the sea, the researchers reported.""
OK, dubya. Whatever you say..
I have no agenda but to get at truth.
Of course not. Keeping gas prices low, and car emission taxes non-existant, so that you can continue to drive your overdimensioned SUV, has got nothing to do with it.
How small a thought it takes to fill a whole life
Let me see if I understand this
There is huge amounts of data about global warming, with a bit of dissent and that is enough to suggest that global warming is not occuring
At the same time, for the last 100 years, we have been digging for oil and all the fields have shown to be static. Suddenly one field shows up that nearly dries up, then comes back to life in a way that could be explained by dynamic production OR by deeper resoivors under pressure pushing up into that field, and suddenly you wish to argue that science is all wrong based on the first weaker argument?
huuummmm. I will bet that you bought off on W's arguments.
I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.
I love comments like this.. You really do not understand do you..
Currently a majority of the US is below, at or within 1000 feet of sea level... If the ocean where to rise far enough it would not just affect the coastlines, It would affect the whole world.. The rivers like the Mississippi would be direct inlets into the inside of the USE flooding everything in site...
Places that once never had floods would get them anytime it rains, because the water would have no where to go.
This is not some joke, Or time to buy "beach front" property in Nevada.. If the ocean raises that much its pretty much over, there will not be enough land on earth for all of us.

You, sir, are such an ass that it hurts my eyes to read!
Go to your friend's house, you know, the one who owns the $20,000 salt-water aquarium.
Place a big chunk of ice in the aquarium. Then sit back and see how the melting of ice does not rise the water level. Oh, wait, but it does kill all of the fish in the aquarium.
Then get back to your biology books and figure out why it does.
Oh, and PS - huge amounts of ice in Antarctica, which you point out, is sitting on the continent, is freaking melting. You may remember? In the news? Something something ice melting? Antarctica? Ring a bell?
Education is the silver bullet.
