    Greenland ice-melt 'speeding up'

    The year 2030:

    -Daddy, what did you do in the years when we knew global warming was a major problem, but the world did almost nothing to address it?

    -Son, I spent my time on message boards, and in the political arena promoting dubious "scientists" and misinformation in an attempt to debunk global warming!

    WE do not need all those beachside resorts and multi-million dollar homes on the FL coast anyway.
    Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
    Proving tax cuts work!

    Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
    The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.

    It's a play on a post by RSR on another board...
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    Will Alaska's melting ice expose some more gold to be found ?

    You can't eat gold, or burn it for fuel!

    No but there are always those who will trade food and fuel for gold.
    Some will do it even if they need the food and fuel....

    ...snip

    A vicious wind whipping across 2,000 kilometres of solid ice - the length of the Greenland ice-sheet - chilled us as we filmed.

    But the feeling of cold was ironic - it is the rise in air temperatures recorded here that is at least partly responsible for the sudden acceleration of the melting.

    Dr Boggild and his colleagues, studying the physics of how the air and ice relate, conclude that as much as 55% of the melting is attributable to warming in the air.

    ...snip

    Many more icebergs falling into the sea will cause two things to happen - the sea-level will rise and the injection of freshwater could disrupt the ocean currents, including the Gulf Stream.

    What happens in this remote barren land has the potential to affect us all.
    The ice is melting because the air is warming... isn't that what Global Warming advocates have been saying all along?

    When will the skeptics listen? When the ocean is lapping on their doorsteps?

    Damn this sounds like Al Gore..only his BS was in favor of globilization and warming...

    Side note: Al was about 10,000 years too late for this one..as this happened way before man had access to fossil fuels..he should really study Oceanography and Volcanoes...this was the culprit as it is today!
