Closed mindedness prevents unnessessary polution of the mind. I don't want to suffer from "cranial warming"...  I trust what is logical, today's scientists are not.
Anywho, if the planet heats up and the ice caps melt who cares? We'llprobably get more land out of it, if anything, water expands when it freezes.
Want proof of that, put some ice in a glass and measure the water level, let it melt, and then measure it again, THE WATER LINE LOWERS!

And Link, I HAVE done my own research. I had to do it for a debate, and I WON it. And I didn't expect to win it. I do not see it as a grave threat. |
Well, bloody hell, I'm convinced. Sign me up! RM won a debate at school; this of course means that his research is more accurate than that of scientists who do this everyday and get paid for it.
Thanks RM.

Scientists as a majority are routinely wrong, might I point out. If one looks over both sides of the research and develops an opinion, that's not wrong. Dissenting opinion is the only thing that keeps science on its toes trying to figure out new, better explanations for the world around us. If no one in science disagreed we'd be in a very deep, very uncomfortable rut from which no learning would come.

You really need to get your facts straight.
Water is a little nonconformistic, and when it melts, it'll start to expand again when its temperature rises above 4 degrees C. And it'll expand way beyond its original size.

plus the ice in the artic is above the water level. So only when it melts it adds too the liquid water.

Global Warming is a threat. I don't agree with what a lot of scientific research but I do agree with that. And Lightening Boy, as Lionhead said a lot of the ice is above water level. When this melts it will cause a massive increase in water level. If it all melted then New York would be flooded, along with a lot of other cities. And it has been proven that the global temprature has risen 0.5 degrees this centuary when normally that would take 1000 years. I see that as a problem.

I don't see it as a thread right now, but I do see it as something that needs to be worked on right now. Because otherwise the problem might be too big later to solve, and then we'd be stuck with that. And as much as I'd love to see my house being at a beach... well actually, just carry on the way things are going right now I guess.
