    • @brmadden895
      @brmadden895 Рік тому +2

      Sea ice melting won't notably raise sea level, but ice on land (e.g. the continental ice sheets) melting will. The portion of the ice shelf that sticks out into the ocean acts as a "dam" to the landlocked ice behind it.

      Antarctic sea ice melts every spring in the southern hemisphere, and then it freezes up every fall.
      It's the same in the northern hemisphere.
      As an inhabitant of planet Earth, you are required to know this.
      If someone hasn't taught you this common knowledge, then let me begin your education.
      Antarctica's ice sheet is not shrinking or melting.
      Greenland's ice sheet is not shrinking or melting.
      I monitor this constantly.
      My education of geology, atmospheric physics, and glaciology began in 2007 when Obama began campaigning for president.
      Al Gore was fear mongering everyone that the Arctic was going to be ice free by now.
      One promise after another was broken.
      I tried to defend these men and their outrageous claims.
      I went ftom rabid left-wing liberal to educated conservative who knew everything about Antarctica, the Arctic, Greenland, Earth's geologic past, and Earth's constantly changing climate.
      I especially concentrated on the effects of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and water vapor, Earth's most prominent greenhouse gas.
      EDUCATION. This is the key.

    It is summer in the Southern hemisphere right now.
    Antarctica's sea ice breaks up like this every single year.
    Within 4 months, the entire continent of Antarctica will be surrounded by almost 1000 miles of sea ice.
    FACTS:
    1. The eastern Antarctic ice sheet is 16,400 feet thick at its thickest point.
    2. It is -42°Fahrenheit at Vostok station right now.
    3. There has never been a temperature any higher than 10゚F ever recorded on the mainland Antarctic continent.
    4. The media will often quote that Elephant Island is part of Antarctica and claim that the temperature can be as high as 70゚F. It is actually at the end of the Antarctic penninsula.
    What they don't tell you is that the elephant island is about 2500 miles from the South Pole.
    5. The media will quote quite often that the Western Antarctic ice sheet is shrinking.
    What they don't tell you is that the ice on the Western sheet is blowing over to the Eastern sheet and making it grow.
    6. Just a little light reading can explain quite a bit about Antarctica and clear up a lot of misinformation reported by the media.

    Maybe we can pump liquid-oxygen or liquid-nitrogen under strategic parts of the glacier. That way we could build ice-walls under the glacier.

    Nitrogen has the advantage of being less of a fire hazard.

    "You know humans are capable of this". Yes but the ozone hole was a much simpler problem to solve than climate change. Climate change is due to ecological overshoot, a vastly over populated Earth, and a deeply ingrained delusional mindset of the world's politicians and "leaders" That is, unbridled capitalism. perpetual growth economics, and consumerism. Solving climate change would require a drastic reduction in human population and a conscious decision to slow and shrink the economy. It would require austerity from every single person now alive. It would require a rapid decrease in emissions, that everyone use less energy, that meat consumption be drastically reduced or eliminated, globalism be reversed, crypto currency be outlawed, and that humans rapidly begin pulling C02 out of the atmosphere. And there is now methane belching out of the permafrost...that would have to be dealt with. Due to the aerosol masking effect, reductions in emissions would paradoxically cause rises in global average temperatures, so humans would have to artificially replace aerosols in the atmosphere, which are now actually reflecting sunlight back into space. The world's politicians knew about the dangers of climate change since 1987, when Dr. Carl Sagan and James Hansen warned the US Congress, who did absolutely nothing...except to increase fossil fuel extraction and emissions. The world's "leaders" actually sent us all to our inevitable near term demise. There won't be a single human being remaining on Earth by 2030.

Very shortly his heavenly government, the Kingdom, will replace all human governments. (Daniel 2:44) This is good news for people who want to live in peace and harmony with others and all living creatures. The Kingdom will eliminate all the problems we are currently experiencing and will also undo all the harm done by selfish, greedy people. It will bring true peace and security to the earth. Psalm 37:10, 11, 29 says: “Just a little while longer and the wicked will be no more; you will look at where they were, and they will not be there. But the meek will possess the earth, and they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it”.
