    Will this prevent storms? No. Mitigate their severity and frequency? No. Improve early warnings? No. Waste more taxpayer money while a few geeks get off learning about the phenomenon? Absolutely.

    This will also serve to drive more property insurers out of the market and ratchet up premiums in an already shrinking marketplace.

    The earth’s mean temperature has fallen .8 degrees Centigrade since 2006.

    The arctic ide cap is exactly the same size today as it was July 1988.

    Global warming is a hoax. We have nothing to do with the climate and can do nothing about the climate. Underwriters: bet against the GW hoax and you’ll look good!

    I am writing a book called, Earth in the Balance-with Corrections or I may call it The Coming Ice Age.
    Did you know that fossil fuels are blocking our sun’s rays and soon the plants will die because the Mississippi and Amazon rivers will be froze over. Large wooly beasts like super sized elephants will reappear and eat the poor and lower middle class. This is caused by to many Republican presidents in a row.

    And you think the democrat waiting in the wings will do any better? He’s a politically inexperienced, pandering flip flopper.

    Hey, they have to afford their groceries too, don’t they. They just found a better way to do than insurance.

    We all are going to die because of global warming soon. Before we go I have a question. There is a water line that is where the Atlantic Ocean comes up to the coast. This water line runs along the entire east coast of the U.S.A. In 61 years the water line has neither gone higher or lower. Therefore since we are killing off the ice caps and glaciers where the hell is all of the water from the melted ice going? Maybe the evil Republicans are selling it to their Arab friends!

    1. If the arctic ice cap totally melted it would not raise ocean levels at all. Like the ice cubes melting in your iced tea, the arctic ice is already displacing its weight.

    2. When you see film of glaciers falling apart (known as “calving”) it is evidence of a growing glacier, not a melting one. When the glacier grows it moves beyond its supporting land and the edges fall off. If it were melting it would not be calving, but shrinking.

    So, what ended the last Ice Age? GLOBAL WARMING.

    _____________________
    Absolutely 100% not true. Its more comparable to ice cubes piled up in a glass of water. Or ice frozen around the rim of the glass.

    Basically some of the glaciers are on land, so when they melt they will go into the water and raise the water level.

    Its pretty simple really.

    A ton of water makes a ton of ice. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

    As for the glaciers, since they are on land, if they melted into the ocean they would increase the volume of the ocean. However, the northern ice cap is the same size as 20 years ago. Mt. Shasta’s ice is growing. Etc.
