User ID: 1485390 United States 11/02/2011 02:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's a natural cycle. The snow falls on the land and turns into glacier. New snow falls on top and presses the old snow, now glacier further away. When the land fills up with glaciers, the glaciers extend out into the ocean. The salty ocean with all it's energy starts working to break up the glaciers. Eventually, cracks emerge and pieces of the glacier break off and head into the ocean as icebergs. Since the glacier is already in the ocean, melting it won't cause any rise in the ocean level. Wake me when the glaciers on the land melt, as they have in the historic past. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 4210347 Germany 11/02/2011 02:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | PUNTA ARENAS, CHILE – After discovering an emerging crack that cuts across the floating ice shelf of Pine Island Glacier in Antarctica, NASA's Operation IceBridge has flown a follow-up mission and made the first-ever detailed airborne measurements of a major iceberg calving in progress. Quoting: IwantToBelieve76 Hell, they didn't NEED to fly there to get info, they could have just read the proposal by the penguins for stimulus funds, for a bridge over the crack. THAT would have been enough, no?? . |

First I protest your using the C word to describe me. That's uncalled for any only proves to the readers on this board what a low life person you are. Second, Greenland still has plenty of ice. The people who map the glaciers were just caught in a controversy about claiming that glaciers had melted, when they hadn't. [link to blogs.telegraph.co.uk] It seems that there were places with mile thick ice, that they had claimed to be bare ground without any ice. Here is a partial list of glaciers that are growing. It really is part of a natural cycle. [link to www.iceagenow.com] Even if all the glaciers melted 100%, that doesn't prove that mankind had anything to do with it. There is actually quite a bit of evidence that changes in the sun has more to do with our climate than we do. [link to www.news-star.com] |
