Global Warning Causes Falling Sea Levels

Someone posted that before.  The Communist is known for hilarious typos with Freudian slips.  My favorite is where he meant to say 'insist' and typed 'incest'.

I assure you, he meant incest.

It makes sence now.  That puts a whole new twist on Red October 

Did anyone else here hear the communist claim that we were the same person???


Wouldn't He be my alternate account since i have more posts and have been here longer?


HAHAHAHA the communist is mine.

Perform the following experiment:

1. Pour .75L of water mixed with ~35 ppm of sodium chloride i at 4 degrees Celecius nto a 1L beaker.
2. Place a cube of ice that covers about 2% of the beakers top surface.
3. Measure the volume of water every minute to obeserve very little declination in depth.
4. Now measure every day to observe large declinations.

"The most recent glacial retreat began about 14,000 years B.P. and is still going on." - wikipedia, Glacier

Any reliable source will state the average ocean temperature is 17 degrees celsius.  Introducing recently melted ice at around -2 to 0 degrees, depending on impurities, Will lower the mean temperature creating a denser liquid.  Higher density means less occupied volume, thus a sea level drop.

The majority of (the RE) Antarctica is over land so if it melts then sea levels will rise, a lot.

Good job it's not melting then.

it's interesting to me that the entire nation (United States that is) is experiencing one of the more drastic temperature drops over the whole year... and the winters are increasingly colder, longer lived, and creeping south over the last decade or so. (with the every few years being more 'normal' or even higher temperatures... just like any other time frame like this)

It's also interesting that as this trend evolves - there is less and less attention in the media about global warming, aside from the few big conferences here and there, where ironically, there are more private jets and inefficient automobiles at than many other big events. You'd think the greeners would want to be more green with their crusades.

Just a very few interesting facts:

Even with the horrid and slow decimation of the rain forests... there are more trees on this planet than there have been in the last 1000 years. Just think about it for a sec.

Within the last 500 years, some parts of the Earth have experienced 'little ice ages', then returned to a more moderate climate.

For some reason, nobody is griping about the hole in the ozone layer... could be because it's reduced in size (again) to it's "normal" state before the hype began... yet again proving one of the Earth cycles.

- notice that just over the last 6 months or so... the hole has gone from dispersed, to noticeable and able to cause some degree of temperature increase perhaps, back to dispersed and ineffectual. Interesting isn't it?

Plenty more to ponder, but those are the main ones I can think of.
Enjoy!

Finally, someone who understands.

Even with the horrid and slow decimation of the rain forests... there are more trees on this planet than there have been in the last 1000 years. Just think about it for a sec.

I'd like you to explain this one to me.

(rainforests aren't the only places that there are trees)

As Raist stated, the rainforest isn't the only place there are trees. For ease of arguments sake, just take the major instances in mind... such as tree farms, Parks, hundreds of thousands of acres of land that were once plains or desert that now have people with yards, trees and shrubs in them, the list goes on and on and those are just the off hand ones.

It's not a defence of cutting down other forests or the like, it's just a statement of the fact that there are indeed more trees and oxygen producing / carbon dioxide scrubbing 'entities' on the face of the planet now more than ever.

Ice floats because it is less dense than water.

Classic, and it has nothing to do with buoyancy caused by trapped air within the ice?
Cold things contract, they do not expand as heated things do, it's been a pleasure rambling to the FES brick wall.

Except water.

Someone needs to learn something about polar molecules. Water expands when frozen. Though it does contract as it cools. Cool water sinks, Ice floats.

Would ice that forms on the bottom of a glass float if your theory was true?
