Why Antarctica Is Getting Taller (livescience.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Live Science: Bedrock under Antarctica is rising more swiftly than ever recorded -- about 1.6 inches (41 millimeters) upward per year. And thinning ice in Antarctica may be responsible. That's because as ice melts, its weight on the rock below lightens. And over time, when enormous quantities of ice have disappeared, the bedrock rises in response, pushed up by the flow of the viscous mantle below Earth's surface, scientists reported in a new study. These uplifting findings are both bad news and good news for the frozen continent. The good news is that the uplift of supporting bedrock could make the remaining ice sheets more stable. The bad news is that in recent years, the rising earth has probably skewed satellite measurements of ice loss, leading researchers to underestimate the rate of vanishing ice by as much as 10 percent, the scientists reported. The findings were published in the journal Science.
I knew all along it was a scam.
The cities are full of women, middle-aged widows, husbands, dead, husbands who've spent their lives making fortunes, working and working. And then they die and leave their money to their wives, their silly wives.
And what do the wives do, these useless women? You see them in the hotels, the best hotels, every day by the thousands, drinking the money, eating the money, losing the money at bridge, playing all day and all night, smelling of money, proud of their jewelry but of nothing else, horrible, faded, fat, greedy women...
Are they human or are they fat, wheezing animals, hmm? And what happens to animals when they get too fat and too old?
Donald Trump is using global warming to thaw out that freakishly cold wasteland called Antarctica. Once thawed, he can use the space to build affordable housing for disadvantaged African American and Latino Americans.
Of coarse the liberals do not like this, because they like keeping Latino Americans and African Americans trapped in subsidized housing that makes rich liberals billions of dollars in Section 8 funds. Also they will not like it because Antarctica used to be the exclusive playground of Whites and penguins. Liberals like penguins. People not so much.
