Antartica Melting Fast

will Antartica be gone by the time this thread reaches its limit? I'm willing to be $20 it hasn't.

As I was looking at the sky driving in this morning, I do indeed believe it is getting closer to us. I asked my colleagues and they confirmed my hypothesis. So I believe the sky is surely falling, and my work was peer-reviewed, were doomed.

This Antarctic ice shelf could collapse by 2020, NASA says - The Washington Post

You can watch, too, with your own eyes if you have Netflix. It's a documentary called Chasing Ice, where they use time lapse cameras.

Fun fact: the last time the earth had this much carbon in the air? Over a million years ago.

Sea Ice vs Land Ice.

Sea Ice is thin and temporary. Land Ice = glaciers . . . It's the difference between a lake freezing over and the glacier . . . The lake freezing matters not . . .

Did you watch the Daily Show clip?

Neither land ice nor sea ice are inherently "good" or "bad". That's silly. But the point is that melting/freezing sea ice does not contribute to sea level rise. Sea level rise is caused by melting land ice (and thermal expansion of water).

If these ice shelves go that locks in several meters of irreversible sea level rise.

So Florida will be under water by 2010?
