could this be it?

Post by BugZz »

ONE of our worst fears about global warming has been confirmed. Greenland's ice is melting faster than ever. The process could reach a point of no return before the end of the century, raising the sea to catastrophic levels. Hopes that increased snowfall on Antarctica would mitigate the problem have also been dashed.

Greenland hosts the second-largest icecap on Earth, holding 10 per cent of the global ice mass. If the whole thing melted, global sea level would rise by 6.5 metres. Earlier this year Eric Rignot of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena and his team used satellite radar interferometry to determine that Greenland's glaciers were melting more and more each year, with about 220 cubic kilometres lost in 2005.

it looks like the war of lords will happen soon...

Global warming is a myth tbh.

IF the icecaps weren't melting then it would be the opposite effect and we would be moving in to the next ice age.
the earth actually moves slightly closer to the sun each year aswell so that actually accounts for the majoirty of "global warming"

Mikey's fun facts for the day.

1 person produces the same ammout of carbon dioxide as a car per year.

The best way to reduce co2 levels is to cut down trees and paved them over with tarmac.
Tarmac actually locks up more carbon dioxide and trees don't produce enough oxygen to make them worth having around.

We don't produce as much carbon dioxide as the dinosaurs did.

Strange but true . . .

Think on the bright side, gas prices won't be the #1 thing people are worrying about anymore.

Lemme think hard about that one...


:idea: :idea: :idea:


No. I'm an atheist. I don't know whether to believe that kooky stuff like the bible code that says we're going to die in 2012. The program I saw it on stated that scientists find it after the fact, so... false prophecy? If we are getting closer and closer to the sun every year, is there some way we can 1. fix the ozone layer, or 2. move the Earth farther away?
