By 2005 the Arctic will be free of sea ice altogether in the summmer. By 2010 polar bears will be extinct and by 2018 the new hypercanes will have destroyed most Gulf Coast cities including New Orleans. |

BS if you have a glass of ice water filled to the top with ice and the ice melts does the glass over flow????? NO Quoting: MississippiGirl Completely wrong logic. The ice is not floating in water. Wow. Get a glass, fill it with ice, then with water.then tell us where the waterline moves to when it melts. Ice takes up more room than liquid water,it expands as it freezes. As it melts it takes up less volume. The planet is a closed system, it balances itself out. |

What people should be concerned about in this scenario is the addition of fresh water and salinity, not flooding. The north Atlantic current is struggling as it is and it could unleash the mini ice age. Just a thought. |

Let it sit overnight, then report back and tell us if water overflowed the glass. It’s called water displacement. The earth will not flood if glaciers melt. |

I wonder why then when my ice melts in my glass it doesn't rise any higher? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76781814 This is a glacier. It's on land and flowing into the ocean. But you're right that the melting Arctic icecap isn't going to directly affect sea levels. At Fukushima they are taking cooling water out of the ocean and putting it into tanks, permanently. They are building tanks faster than they are using water and can never stop for about 50 years or so, with no other solution coming. So that should offset any rise from glaciers melting. Problem solved. |

TOTALLY WRONG! More water in the ocean = more weight on the ocean floor. The ocean floor will sink and the level of the ocean will fall not rise. Earths first layer is called the crust. Its kind of the same structure as a sponge. Lots of volcanic tubes and air pockets. When you push down on a sponge it contracts. No flooding will occur on the continents, just more beach front property. Small islands could sink though.... |

I have to laugh when I see this only has a couple stars. The idiots are have to much blind idolatry for their Fuhrer to admit global warming is destroying the planet. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 41693715 It's the volcanoes under Antarctica that's melting it. The ice is being melted from the bottom. It's space weather not us little humans. CO2 follows a global warming not the other way around. The atmosphere is being compressed due a thinning of the ionosphere. In addition, the north magnetic pole is split into two lobes with the lobe closer to Siberia. My guess is there was a Rossby wave disturbance. All of the other planets in solar system are showing signs of warming? Could it be a solar minimum like Dr Zharkova talks of? People like Dr Spenser have been talking about cooling for a while now. I think they may have a valid argument |
