And I have the pics to prove it!

“Combustion of available fossil fuel resources sufficient to eliminate the Antarctic Ice Sheet.”
Few peer-reviewed study titles sound quite so much like a line spoken by the bad-news-bearing scientist from a dystopian sci-fi movie. But there it is. A real-world—and apparently very possible—dystopia.
For what Ken Caldeira, a climate scientist at the Carnegie Institution for Science and an author on the paper, published Friday in the journal Science Advances, believes is the first time, he and his colleagues have shown that there are enough fossil fuels still in the ground to melt “effectively all of Antarctica” and ultimately cause as much as 200 feet of sea level rise.

Well Goolly. Surprise, Surprize... Surprize.
These purported “scientists” mainly are feeding the politics of gloBULL warming so they can maintain their grants from the government. These thieves and frauds of taxpayer money should be fired. What idiots!
Major US costal cities flooded!
Good, they could use a rinse.
Meanwhile Iran gets billions in progress towards real enviromental destructions via nukes—
But yawn—— not a peep from hack leftists-— doesn’t meet their agenda protocol.
This is both hugh and series! Where’s the huge manatee?
.......and a huge comet could crash into the Moon and cause it to explode sending huge chunks of rocks hurtling onto the Earth...........................I could happen......................
“he and his colleagues have shown that there are enough fossil fuels still in the ground to melt “effectively all of Antarctica””.
But a few years ago we had run out of fossil fuel and had to go to alternate energy according to these same idiots!
cue the surfaris playing wipeout.
Does everyone realize that there have been a number of ice ages in earth’s history???
And what caused the ice ages to end??? Periods of global warming.
During the last ice age, Chicago was buried under a mile of ice. How did all that ice melt??? It was due to natural cycles, many of which we don’t fully understand. It was not due to Cro-Magnon man operating coal fired power plants.
To me, it seems that Al Gore and his people never quite define how much global warming is due to the natural cycles, and how much is due to man’s activities. And they imply that if we are all good boys and girls and buy carbon credits, that the natural cycles will reward us for buying carbon credits by giving us periods of global cooling. And then the polar bears will be happy and all that.........
But, are we not scheduled for a mini-Ice Age by about 2030?
These guys are not even in the same playbook, much less on the same page.
They just thow stuff out to see what might stick. If something doesn’t, they just move on to the next absurd claim.
Good points.
Or, consider the midwest. The midwest is a fertile productive agricultural region. But that area has severe winters. Imagine how much more productive it could be, if we did have global warming, but it resulted in a longer growing season in a place like the midwest.
The global warming alarmists don’t ever think that there could be any upside to warmer climates.
Yesterday I had to explain “Calving” He thought it was melting as he was led to believe, I explained no, the ice is growing and can’t support its own weight and breaks off.
“On the one hand, we lose a few inches of beach in the Maldives.”
Almost every restaurant I in Florida has beach pictured of what the local beach looked like up to a century ago. The tide lines then are close to the tide lines now. Nowhere are there buildings with water flowing around them. Same with Miami beach hotels. I call bunk!
This graph pretty much speaks for itself about historic CO2 levels. We are still at very low levels in geologic history.
This graph is based on recent levels. These CO2 levels, to me, don't indicate massive greenhouse gas build ups.
Hmm...., I wonder how much it cost in taxpayer dollars to pay this so-called scientist to produce this travesty of science? I guess if you really look at it we have to start worrying about the Sun may stop shining too.
I thought globull warming was taking us into another ice age?
BTW, what caused the last ice age? What caused it to warm up and melt? Fred Flintstone?
I’m really looking forward to this. First of all, most of the Left lives on the coasts, so this would drown them.
I offer a place at my home & numerous acreage 400+ feet above sea level to coastal conservatives...
After all that ice melts and drowns the hapless liberals, let’s all go to the new, uncovered land in Antarctica and strip mine it for coal!!!
Once the ice sheet is gone, think of all those minerals in Antarctica we can start mining! Maybe there are huge coal, oil and gas deposits there!
