Frankly, nearly ALL of NASA’s funding should be pulled and the money that was being spent programmed for bounties on measureable successful performance goals and accomplishment set forth as bounties paid to commercial participants who succeed in these goals.
No more funding of lofty goals and wishlists because somebody else (taxpayer) has the money (or doesn’t). Make them spend their own money and reap the rewards after they succeed. Screw NASA.
So what? It has happened before. It will happen again.
Sheesh!
I didn’t know the US and Most of the World was UNDER WATER when the Vikings were Farming in Greenland.
They BOTH do it along with any number of other Feral Gov't agencies. Most of these organizations need to be re-purposed to building the Southern Wall.
And during the last ice age, sea levels were 400 feet lower than today. So?
We are ALL GONNA DIE!
As Zwally (2015)found in the Antarctic, and given Cohen (2013) it’s likely that the ‘gains in the interior, exceed the losses on the coast’ on Greenland.
i.e.: Global warming causes more snow, causes more ice, causes bigger glaciers.
Negative feedback.
Cooling.
Yes, and if all the volcanoes on earth erupted it would be bad. If the sun went nova, it'd be really bad. If aliens landed, it would be bad (the technologically inferior typically suffer in these kinds of encounters). If there were massive underwater quakes there'd be tsunamis and it would be bad.
The point is, there are a lot of bad things that *could* happen. This smacks of sensationalism just to keep the fear up.
One only has to ask if the coastlines of Europe disappeared at the time when the “Vikings” settled in Greenland? They didn’t.
The NASA calculations seem to impute every drop of “melt” as landing in the sea, and none in the air, none becoming rain clouds, none becoming rain over land that fills landlocked lakes, and underground aquifers; all just melted into the seas. They are not scientists.
Trump will kick all the muslims and climate changers out of NASA
This Crap will be wiped away when Obama is flushed
Uh, ya and if grasshoppers had machine guns birds wouldn't mess with them.
I read a liberal climate crap article that the sea levels have risen “significantly” but we cannot perceive it because those pesky continents keep absorbing the water
I’m not kidding
I would really like to see the math on this claim. Given the surface area of all of the worlds oceans, the amount of ice on the Greenland shelf would have to be in the billions of cubic meters. Not bloody likely, IMHO.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
if citizens want to continue to pay for federal space exploration then they need to work with their state lawmakers to appropriately amend the Constitution.
“All we know is it is bad and we need another trillion dollars to make Muslims feel good about themselves” -Holdren
Global Warming Hogwash = Big Bucks.
End of story.
Interesting article. All science-y and stuff.
Another 6900 years and I’ll be able to ride in Wisconsin all year round. Now, what to do with the snow thrower?
If all the world’s oceans were to suddenly evaporate,
there would only be one continent too.
