If this continues it will be 1cm per year in ten years time, 0.1 m in twenty years time and 1m per year in thirty years time. Cheers, Alastair. |

Science Magazine. http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/1123785 ABSTRACT EXTRACT: "Using measurements of time-variable gravity from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites we determine mass variations of the Antarctic ice sheet during 2002-2005. We find that the ice sheet mass decreased significantly, at a rate of 152 ± 80 km3/year of ice, equivalent to 0.4 ± 0.2 mm/year of global sea level rise. Most of this mass loss came from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. " Incidentally, I have read reports based on other respected scientific surveys stating that in Central and East Antarctica, the ice sheet is thickening. I am neither denying GW nor man made GW, but the ALL the facts should be reported (this is not aimed at you, Tudor - or anyone). -- Dave |

What really happens is that when a new feature of the planet or the solar system is reported it is PRed as a new threat to man. That's why the Americans killed all the Injuns and all the farmers drained the marshes and all the climatologists banned fridges. And all the factory owners chopped down the trees. Something out of hand there. I've just been watching something about climate on the OU. Some dendochronologist was sweeping facts past me faster than I could play devil's advocate but what crossed my mind at the time was how he would deal with the situation on here where some are reporting droughts and some are squelching through their kitchens. There is probably a control to the art but it all sounded a bit tenuous to me. So how do you present information that isn't partisan yet remains interesting? Perhaps interjecting words such as "..the theory has it that.." and "..it might be so and so...". I'm still struggling to understand how Ice can carry rocks, so I am a lost cause. We have to learn to believe stuff like that by the time we are 10. Or perhaps someone aught to open up a viable alternative to the BBC? I'd like that job. Beware fervent narration. |
