Women and minorities expected to be hit hardest. It's Bush's fault.
Kool! I wanna see what's underneath them.
Works for me. Sea level goes up, it'll be easier to get a mooring in Marblehead :)
Thin glaciers cause hurricanes, killing thousands of innocent women and cute little babies; All Bush's fault; Film at eleven.
Amazingly, we are not underwater yet....
Call me in 100 years when the sea level is an inch higher ...
Ice is just shifting elsewhere such as the pacific northwest, because at the at the same time glaciers are growing in California and the once hot and fiery caldera on MT St, Helens is now covered in 600 feet of ice
This article is on thin ice in such a board.
1/100 of an inch a year? So in 100 years the sea will rise ONE INCH?
Forgive if I don't get in the life boat yet....
Place a lot of ice cubes in a bowl (large salad bowl), then fill with water until the ice floats.
When the water over flows the bowl, that's when you can panic, It won't happen though. It's called Displacement. The ice floating in the water already has taken the space of the melt water that will replace the area the ice has taken up. Water level will not increase.
Luckily, the thick ones are simultaneously getting thicker...
I heard somewhere that the ice on the opposite side of Antartica is growing thicker.
It's happening on Mars too...

Those damn rovers...
I think I'm gonna go buy a big-ass SUV and drive around all weekend to celebrate.
I read your post and ran for the refigerator. The ice bucket was full.
This must be a local phenomenon.
Just one eensy-teensy problem with the nut jobs posing as scientists: http://www.john-daly.com/
It'd be great if we ended up in another ice age.
I'd personally laugh about it.
Last I read, the previous Ice Age was supposedly preceded by a marked rise in global temp before crashing.
And this was long before the eee-vil SUV and long before man fiddled with coal or other fuels.
*chuckle*
There are guys here who are versed in this stuff, so I'll ping some guys who are likely to knwo, or know someone who does.
I suspect that the Earth is doing it's normal cycle of shifting weather patterns.
Similar to precession of the constellations, Earth's climate also shifts.
There are places in Africa that used to get monsoon rains, monsoon rains that now occur many miles further east.
So I'm not surprised by glaciers melting away in one place or another.
Astronomer, Physicist, anything you guys have run across on this at all, or anyone you know run across this stuff lately?
