The NY Times tells us that: Greenland's glaciers are melting into the sea twice as fast as previously believed, the result of a warming trend that renders obsolete predictions of how quickly Earth's oceans will rise over the next century, scientists said yesterday. Now this is worthy news, if it's reliable. This study is unique among most that are actually a rehash of century old and unverifiable logs and notes. This study is a review of recent satellite pictures. Problem here is that NASA managers tell us that few if any scientists understand how to read satellite data.
It's common knowledge that temperatures are slightly warming in the Northern Hemisphere. The Arctic is experiencing a cycle of ice melting. So what does this mean to you and me? Nothing, absolutely nothing because more ice is accumulating elsewhere than is being melted. Is there a central clearing house where ice melting is added to ocean volume and then new freezing is subtracted? No. Why not? Because it appears that the global warming crowd is driven by their feelings, not by science.
Truth is still that the Antarctic is cooling. The proof is published everywhere that ice is building at never before observed rates. On a personal note, one of Seattle's super icebreakers returned from the Antarctic late in 2005. The return was a few weeks delayed because the ship encountered huge new and quickly thickening ice fields. The ice breaker crew talked about how far out from land the new ice is growing. Yet in the same issue of the Seattle Times that printed their report, a global warming and rising sea level article is printed.
A quick check of tidal charts both in the Atlantic and the Pacific show that the mean sea level is not rising. Not a millimeter, not a centimeter, not an inch, according to the Australia based National Tidal Facility. So why do government scientists tell us that the rise is on and it will be as much as ten of feet and more? Because it's their blind faith belief.
