The warm Dec in 77 and the Jan blizzard that followed in 78 just like it shows.

I have a question for all you "educated" people. It was said the melting of the ice caps and glaciers will cause the ocean's to raise. Well, I was thinking if you fill a glass to the top with ice then fill it with water what happens when the ice melts? Does the glass run over from the extra water from the ice or is there less liquid in the glass because the ice was displacing the water but actually contained less liquid? Now let me ask you this. Which would people fear most drowning or more land being exposed? Add drowning and less land to the fear of heat and, well, people panic and will believe anything they're told and go for it at any cost.

1. I don't care for the tone you create when placing educated into quotation marks.

2. The scientific community consisting of highly educated and experienced individuals is all but unanimous surrounding the effects we are currently experiencing and their connections with global warming. The sea levels are indeed rising. The ice caps are melting. The average temperature of this planet is rising.

3. I give great weight to science; especially science that is validated, reproduceable, and backed by facts. (Tricky things those facts).

4. As I've said many times before, religious zealots and the detractors of scientific facts surrounding global warming, will not believe the facts until they are frying like bacon in a hot skillet. Only then will they believe the facts. However, at that point it will be too late.

That wasn't aimed at you. And as far as the seal levels raising wasn't part of the US supposed to be completely sumerged by now according to Gore?

Last I checked the islands off the coasts of this nation are indeed being submerged and erosion has accelerated beyond what is considered normal.
There are entire populations of people in Alaska that have had to abandon the homelands their ancestors inhabited for centuries because they are now under water.

Deny it all you want, but I'd like to see you tell these displaced families it is a lie to their faces.  :yes:

Would you like to do a bit of research and see why you're wrong, or would you like for me to spell it out for you?

Well, I've melted both snow and ice to water my plants in the winter and barely got any water from a large pail of ice or snow. I have also had an almost over filled glass of ice and water and as the ice melted the level went down if I got busy and it sat for a while. Of course the theory Gore is trying to put across works on paper but so do a lot of ideas engineers come up with until you try to put them to practical use.

Here's an experiment for you to prove what scientists are saying. 

1. Fill a glass full of water to the rim.
2. Suspend a bag of ice in something porous over the glass. 
3. Let the ice melt.
4. Record the results. 

:wink:

What do you think the results will be?

In this case you're adding ice to a full container but in the case of the ice that's already in the water the opposite happens. We're talking warming and melting not cooling and freezing.

The Troll



  Hey, Water on the Brain "ME".  What about all on the miles and miles and miles of ice in the mountains and on land mile and miles deep in  Antarctica.  All that water will raise the level of the oceans.  How about all of the ice floating on the North Pole, 30 feet plus, that will raise the level when it melts.  How about the 10% of the ice above the water in an iceberg, it will raise the level of the sea.

  I really think you should shut up your mouth about water lever raise in global warming.  I really don't think you're to bright on the subject.     :lipsrsealed2: :owned:

And the heat will evaporate a lot of it as it melts. It's a slow melt not an instant one.

Just go ahead and admit you wouldn't believe it if the victims themselves told you face to face. That you don't give a damn about anyone or anything else but yourself and your life;period.

You're a real piece of work. . .🙄
