A Chilling View Of A Warming World »

Posted By Mikunited 3 months, 1 week ago in Science & Technology

The wall of ice that rises behind Sermilik fjord stretches for 1,500 miles (2,400km) from north to south and smothers 80% of this country. It has been frozen for 3m years. Now it is melting, far faster than the climate models predicted and far more decisively than any political action to combat our changing climate

    If we have world-wide disasters the Fundamentalists will praise God for "Armageddon" and the corporations will rub their hands together with glee to gouge us for food and water.

    NO WONDER they have both been insanely denying global warming for decades, they really believe they can GAIN from crashing the planet, the same way people who make over 300 million a year benefited from crashing the economy.

    Sick folks.

    Vote those types out of public office, don't support those kind of "churches" and don't buy products from ultra-conservative companies whose representatives come on FoxNews' Saturday morning "stock tips" program and say (with a completely straight face) that they want to INCREASE global warming because it's "good for business."

    Global warming is an observed fact.

    Man made chemicals have had an observed global impact on this planet. Of course we are contributing to global warming. The only debate is about how much.

    Endo,how you have worked out that mans contribution to atmospheric c02 is 3%,is beyond reason.The total weight can only be worked out to with 2% and as it's a changing target,you have picked a figure out of the air.Or more than likely a website of dubious merit.

      World War II planes abandoned on Greenland in 1945 were recently recovered from being buried 150' under ice.

      That is quite a build-up of ice in 54 years.
