It seems an undersea volcano caused the Larsen B
ice shelf to collaspe. I didn't see this in the news. ***************************************** Evidence of the volcano came as an unintended bonus from a research plan to investigate why a massive ice sheet, known as the Larsen B, collapsed and broke up several years ago. Scientists hope to understand whether such a collapse is unique or part of a cycle that extends over hundreds of thousands of years. http://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.js...0385&from=news |

And plenty of evidence of major melting going on.. which is too bad.

Yeah, some evidence:

Yes, thanks for point that out.

Well, it's pretty clear that you don't believe that global warming is
happening and that we can do something about it. So, good for you. Perhaps you should post a few dozen more links... like I'm going to take the time out of my busy schedule!

I never said whether I believe global warming exists or not, furthermore
whether I believe it or not ,means nothing. I can show data from the ERB and GOES satellites that clearly show solar irradiance has increased in step with increases in measured surface temperatures. Mars has shown the same correlated temperature rise. If you those facts are causal rather than just correlated then what exactly do you propose to do to negate the effects of the sun's increased output? I'm all ears for your suggestions. Should we stop driving cars, using hairspray and plant more trees? Lloyd "Capt. JG" wrote in message ...

"Capt. JG" wrote in message ... And plenty of evidence of major melting going on.. which is too bad. Not true. There is evidence that the net ice mass change in Antarctica is positive, not negative. Satellite and ground station date both point to a slight cooling trend in Antarctica over the past 20 years. Joughin, I, and Tulaczyk, S., 2002, "Positive mass balance of the Ross Ice Streams, West Antarctica," Science 295: 476-80. Thompson, D.W.J., and Solomon, S., 2002, "Interpretation of recent Southern Hemisphere climate change," Science 296: 895-99. Comiso, J.C., 2000, Variability and trends in Antarctic surface temperatures from in situ and satellite infrared measurements," Journal of Climate 13: 1674-96. Look 'em up. Max |

Yeah, some evidence: http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory?id=776766 Lloyd There is a positive mass balance in the West ice sheet as well. I provided a reference in my other post to Jon. Considering that Antarctica comprises 90% of the world's ice, that's significant. Max |
