FACT: Most icebergs and shelves, plus the vast majority of the Arctic region, are already displacing all the water they're going to, so even if they melt completely, there will be ZERO change in the sea level.

I'm not sure its that simple: 1) What about thermal expansion causing the rise rather than the added "melted ice"? 2) What if the ice that enters the water was coupled to land rather than floating - surely this would increase depth? Yes, it's complex and I don't know all the facets, as I'm sure all the researchers are still grappling with finding them. Add the fact that Mother Nature is taking care of Earth, too. While the shelf is breaking off one side of Antarctica, the depth of snowpack on the other 90% is increasing. Where it melts in one section of the ocean, it builds on land elsewhere. She is no dummy. Just man is. First, for spewing all that crap into the atmosphere, second for the arrogance to think that any global change is all his fault. Third for doing the wrong things about it after the two other mistakes. Kyoto Protocol is about as effective as a limp dick and an unwilling lady friend. It's all about controlling power, and we're not talking Utilities here, folks. Algore stands to make millions on the carbon credit scam alone.

How much do yo think water, in liquid form, expands? 2) What if the ice that enters the water was coupled to land rather than floating - surely this would increase depth? Exactly how much of the ice is over land? What is the exact median thickness of that ice? -- aioe.org is home to cowards and terrorists Add this line to your news proxy nfilter.dat file * drop Path:*aioe.org!not-for-mail to drop all aioe.org traffic. http://improve-usenet.org/index.html |

G I hadn't paid quite enough attention to his theory. _Ice_ expands a bit, not water. The OP was bassackwards. OK I'm getting tired of this BS. Water has a maximum density at 4 deg C and from that point to 100 deg changes about 4.16 percent so for a change that has been kicked around, even the worst case by the Greenes, it would be almost un- measurable. If you are intrested in the real numbers here they are from the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics: 4deg C density 999.9750 kg/m cubed (wish there was math fonts) 100deg C 958.3665 kg/ m cubed Thats the 4.16% Now if the temp of the entire ocean change by even 5 deg it would be 999.7838 kg/m cubed which is a change of .019 % I don't see any attempt to claim the Entire ocean could change by that in any event. ...lew... |

Don't forget the average depth of the oceans is over 10,000 ft; .019% of 10,000 is 19 ft. Using numbers for seawater rather than fresh, I get an increase in water level of 10 ft for a 1 degree C increase in temp from 10 to 11 degrees.

It comes back with 1.9, as does MathCAD. James Hanson, claiming 80', apparently needs math tutoring along with his rectal/cranial inversion therapy. Algore says 20'. According to Horner's book "Zwally, et al. (2005), found that the combined net loss of ice from Greenland/ Antarctica would account for a sea-level rise of 0.05mm per year during 1992-2002. At that rate, it would takw a mere millennium before sea levels shot up by a full five centimeters." European satellites show between 0.03 and 0.05mm. This is a far different figure than Algore's 6,095.95mm, isn't it? Zwally gets 5mm for that same century of heating. Hmmm... The IPCC thinks the rise might be between 14 and 44cm. According to Horner, the Earth has seen this type of rise before. Pfof. Morner visited the Maldives and discovered that the sea level has fallen over the past 30 years, and that the islanders had survived much higher sea levels in the past. Me? I'm not gonna sweat it. -- Books are the compasses and telescopes and sextants and charts which other men have prepared to help us navigate the dangerous seas of human life. --Jesse Lee Bennett |
