Al Gore told me that global warming was causing the arctic ice cap to
melt and the ocean is going to rise 20 feet.
Last night I mixed a drink in a tall glass with lots of ice. I left
it sit too long and the ice melted but the glass did NOT overflow. In
fact the liquid level was the same!
What's wrong here? (besides ruining a perfectly good drink)
Thanks

Maybe that idiot Gore should have said "Antarctic" instead of Artic.
True that the arctic ice sits atop the ocean. But, the Antarctic ice
mostly sits atop a continent.

What I find puzzling is this business with the ice cores. They drill
deep in the Arctic and the Antarctic and go way way back close to a
million years to find out the composition of the atmosphere way back
when. If levels of CO2 were often much higher way back then how come the
ice stayed around while all that was going on but is going to melt now?

There is not one single human-caused global warming advocate who can
explain this glaring fault in their logic.

If the ice is floating (depends on what
you're drinking ;-)) then the glass will
not overflow when the ice melts.
Especially if you taste the drink from
time to time to relieve the boredom of
the experiment.

But if the ice is on land and it melts
and drains into the sea (or the glass)
then a rising water level might be seen.
Maybe?

Yeah. That's what I was trying to say.

The Global Warming Crisis (tm) is not a matter of science, but of faith.

Actually, the gradual rise in sea level exactly matches the rise in
the number of boats on the sea! (If you don't believe that just ask me!)
Therefore, all you sailors are direct contributors and should be ashamed!

How can they get the composition of the atmosphere for a million years
when it is a known fact that the earth is only 6000 years old. Read that
in the paper this morning, not off the internet.

Global warming has turned into a new religion, as usual for religions no
longer based on facts. If they can be made to BELIEVE that glass is
overflowing, for a substantial donation of course, then the glass will
overflow....in their minds.

One little problem with rising oceans not bantered about is the warmer
ocean has a HUGE increase in EVAPORATION over it's now larger surface.
The hotter it gets, the bigger its surface, the more it evaporates...tons
and tons! The ocean may rise 20 ft, in some places. For instance, in
the Bay of Fundy, it rises 60 ft, every day....and global warmists never
mention it. They probably don't BELIEVE it rises 60', even if it falls
60' six hours later. You can see how this religion, like the rest of
them, is a religion of CONVENIENT beliefs....those that generate the
largest government grants on a recurring basis.

The Earth IS warming up. Being that it is already nearly as cold as it
has ever been since the last ice age, that's not such a bad idea! What
will just blow the new global warmists into orbit is if it, once again
like it did from 1940-1975, goes into a sustained cooling period, or,
worse yet, if it goes into another Little Ice Age like it did in the late
1800's when my Irish ancestors had to flee to America through Ellis
Island because it was too cold in Ireland to feed her people....in an era
when thousands and thousands of huge smoke stacks were just POURING coal
fumes, carbon black, wood fire pollution into the atmosphere....and we
almost froze to death from......"global warming" caused by humans.

This is also highly dependent on what you're drinking during the
experiment!
