Flaming Sword User ID: 20431243 Australia 07/25/2012 12:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It means, that unless drastic action is taken, and by that, I mean relocation of a viable breeding colony to Antarctica in the Southern hemisphere, in two or three years, our friends the polar bear will be no more. Sure is good to see you around. Have been thinking of you and hoping you are well. Hope anyone who says the polar bears could be wiped out, is wrong. How horribly sad that would be. Such a mess we've made. Dear Nine's I am doing well and I ope that you are too. I saw an Attenborough doco on the Arctic circle just the other day, according to him, the bears rely on the ice floes to be able to hunt seal. No ice, and there is the potential risk that the bears will either drown as they run out of ice, or simply starve as they have no ability to hunt. Even when the ice reforms, it must be of sufficient thickness to bear the weight of the bear. Best wishes to you... |

User ID: 16691062 United States 07/25/2012 12:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | All the way on the bottom. "Ice cores from Summit show that melting events of this type occur about once every 150 years on average. With the last one happening in 1889, this event is right on time," says Lora Koenig, a Goddard glaciologist and a member of the research team analyzing the satellite data. Personally, would love to see some high res pics of the ice melting, beautiful blue water. PS: I have never figured out how they figure when everything melts. How do you tell me how much snow I had this year by measuring next years. In other words... the evidence literally evaporates if tear is a huge melt event, how do they know ?

Quoting: Anne O'Mally derailed??..gee you lose easy shill..all i did was question you flaming anyone who didnt agree with you and al gore..you consistently mentioned AGW nothing else..and then when questioned you say you believe other things are causing it as well..you have gone home because someone with answers has made you look like a hypochondriac doomster.. NASA are lying sacks of shit..same with NOAA..same with any of the alphabet groups..you dont believe their crap on anything else so why the fuck do people fall for this worldwide government control mechanism?? if the government agrees with something then thats a fucking red light to me..do they ever do anything for us?? answer is NO!! we are entering a cooling period..look above at the big yellow thing in the sky..THAT controls our planets climate..not cow farts and car exhausts..we are mere pissy humans who do not have the power to change the worlds temperatures and we sure as fuck dont have the power to cool it down either if we had to.. especially via a fucking TAX! |

Just the surface. And melted a bit. Didn't say how much of the surface melted, like in inches or feet or meters. Or did it? How thick is the Greenland ice sheet, and what would Greenland look like if all the ice had melted. Would it look like a flat plain without definition? “Queen Sarah, save us from the Black Dog King!” - from the play, Dissocia [link to tasaonline.org.au (secure)] "Never be anyone's French poodle." - Mr Hamilton |

[link to www.athropolis.com] Average ice thickness is about 5,000 feet / 1,500 meters, but the northern dome had a depth of up to 11,000 feet / 3,400 meters. 2 miles thick at its thickest. Greenland probable looks like a pancake underneath from the massive weight of ice compressing everything. Good place to hunt for diamonds in a couple hundred years when its gone.

Its not the "Global Warming"/"Climate Change" itself... The question is whether or not it is caused by humans. Its up to you to investigate and determine whether or not that is the case. There certainly are those who insist humans are at fault, but I would question their motives. I would investigate and scrutinize their claims. Don't be a follower, don't jump on bandwagons. Do your own research and no one will be able to lie to you. |
