Watch this:
http://ca.yahoo.com/s/620083 How can people still ignore this? The Antarctic shelf predicted to separate in 25 years is already doing so now. It's hard to believe a change of a few degrees which must be turned around NOW could be the demise of this planet. We would all have to live at the north pole and imagine 8 billion people fighting for territory or living in "Waterworld"...not so far fetched anymore is it? Antarctic shelf breaks off: http://ca.yahoo.com/s/620084 Oh yes it was Kevin Costner...I must be thinking Apocolypto. *S* We basically have a 10 year window to make a decision to change. After that the damage will be done as we will have reached that 2 degree higher temp and will be in that range where the damage is unavoidable....so it's do or die literally in the next 10 years. Do you think humanity will be sane and thinking of their neighbour when it's a dog eat dog world? That is what we are leaving our CHILDREN TO.....how sad. I mean we have to make these changes within 10 years or its too late...ok it's been a long day...over and out. Well Darcel when everyone is living on the tips of the north and south pole and it's all tropical, just remember that those are the only spots where volcanoes can spew too. Yes, every man, woman, child, business has to be accountable. There is no finger pointing here. |

the decision to save earth relies on the people, not the government. people have to change if they want to keep living on this planet. companies have to stop being greedy and conserve energy, or switch to cleaner fuels. we have the technology but i don't think we have the will to make such a big change.

was Costner
but the answer is nope. Even if ALL the freshwater ice melted (sea ice makes no difference because it displaces sea water in proportion to it's frozen mass) the oceans would rise about 60 meters. This would swallow up a lot of real estate, but wouldn't leave people running all over the planet looking for a little scrap of dry land. Not unless they were as stupid as the people that bankrolled that stinking boondoggle of a film and couldn't navigate worth a roasted fart. |

The Antarctic shelf? I hope you don't think this "Shelf" is all of Antarctica. Antarctica is a continent that is covered in ice that is as much as 6 MILES thick.
Where are you getting this weird information? Again, if you would do your own research, you will learn the scientists that are actually there studying Antarctica are telling us it is actually getting colder. |
