Why move to Mars? people would just mess that up also.

Sea water levels are rapidly rising with the melting of icebergs from polar caps. So storms are now more deadly & devastating with high storm surge due to the higher sea water level. Climate change is here. Let’s all move to Mars!

Jesse G. Garcia those icebergs have been melting for the last 5,000 years, ever since the ice age ended ! I guess going to Mars is about the only solution !!!!!

When ice melts in a glass of water it doesn’t raise the water level in the glass of water

Donna Glynn
Bill Dougherty That's because the amount of water does not change. Ice just changes back to water.

Donna Glynn I understand this other people don’t. They think ocean levels are going to rise 😵?💫

Donna Glynn
Bill Dougherty When all the glaciers do fall in the ocean, water levels will rise. The more ice you put in a glass makes the liquid level rise.

Mike Sebens
Bill Dougherty It will overflow the glass if the ice in it is like this picture, over the top of the glass to begin with. 90% of this iceberg is already in the water. Where does the ice/water go that is above the water line? It raises the water level!!

Bill Dougherty if you were to take an ice cube from a table top (continent) and put it in water, the level rises. That's the argument.

Jesse G. Garcia FYI we are in the middle of an ice age, one of several which means the polar caps have completely melted several times in the past, long before internal combustion engines and the first coal power plant in China. It won't be the last.
Look it up.

Jim Smyth not being a scientist, The basic fact of what cools and warms the earth is an abstract for me. So from there I take the experts word. Something is changing the basic climate of the world. IF there is a way to slow this process down or stop it should we not at least try? I remember when most spray cans and bottle were taken off the market because of the ozone. My point is moving to a greener way does not hurt us. I live middle of America. So who knows maybe my grandchildren will have beach front property if this continues.

Bruce Welsch I don't think anyone has a problem with positions like yours, living cleaner, living better. The problem is with the take no prisoners environmental zealotry that are willing to destroy the world just to save it. Newtons third law also applies socially.

Jim Smyth I saw a report about recycling plastic soda bottles. Where it was labor intensive. Because the little circle thing had to be removed. I have to wonder if at some point we do not go back to glass bottles that you have to pay a deposit on. OR if they start to do such a thing with plastic bottles
ReplyShare11h
Jim Smyth
Bruce Welsch we pay deposit on plastic bottles of all kinds and milk and juice cartons where I live. Mostly people return them or save them for kids fund raising. Those, cast off are collected by the poor or the retired who patrol the highway ditches.

Jim Smyth Maybe - but way back since the Stone Age - there were no million combustion engines, no factories around.

Jim Smyth
Bruce Welsch we use bottle depots that manage all returns, beer, wine, liquor and all other beverage containers. My son eventually got around to clearing out his garage of several garbage bags full and received a refund of close to $200. Almost like found money. We usually give ours to kids programs that come around canvassing for bottle donations.
I tried to copy link but it didn't work. If you want to share the information with your legislators, look up Alberta Bottle Depot.

Elvin Harder because the people are lovely. Really friendly. Mostly Irish descent. It's an island twice the size of Britain and only 1/2 million people. I sailed there on a small yacht intending on staying just a fee weeks and ended up staying for 7 years. Married a Newfoundlander. Houses are very cheap. I have a four bedroom house on a large plot a few hundred metres from the sea. Great sea views, worth around £15,000.
And the ratio of women to men is around 4 to 1.

Pat Barrett Cowherd Marsh I am not an expert in hurricanes. I do know living at sea level or below, is dangerous when next to a large body of water. FL LA TX are some that come to mind. Just like most of the large fires are out west. Drought right now is pretty much everywhere. As far as weather this has been a lousy year world wide.

It's not a channel. It's the ocean. That berg could be a kilometre away from shore in that photo. The water at the mouth of our harbour is 500 feet deep and it's close enough that you could put a bullet in an ceberg if it was floating by.
