If enough ice collaspe from the Antarctica and Arctic Ice shelf there will massive flooding on all coast world-wide. Considering that 2/3 of the population of the world is situated with 50 miles of coast lines, this would be a catastrophy. Boston, NYC, Washington, London, etc... Gone!

The levels are still tiny.moth - Will Cali be gone? Cause i'm chillin in Vegas and I'd love to be 10min from the beach!!!Mellimelvin

Don't worry Utopian, the United States Military will launch rockets at it if it comes near the borders.. Thus breaking up the chunks and minimizing the damage to almost nothing. The only thing that you will notice is that your private parts might tighten up in the water and thus leaving you incredibly embarrassed.

Just out of curiosity, do they make waterproof pantone swatches?
- See! There's a man who's thinking!TheBlueOne
- i hope so. otherwise our underwater civilation will have some serious colour matching issues.ross

Hear here, stem & somatica. I don't think anyone here denies that global warming is happening and that everyone should do their part to live and consume in an environmentally conscientious way. However, whomever buys the bad science that it's our fault deserves to have their tax dollars plundered by research into a problem we have no control over. If you want to stop global warming, try to find a way to tell the sun to back off. That's the culprit. It'll eventually move away again and the planet will cool off accordingly...you guys watch, in 20 years the global cooling scare a la 1970's will be back in force. We'll look back at charlatans like Al Gore and have ourselves a good chuckle.

Maybe the big chunk of ice will hit George Bush?

"See, the thing we all agree on is pollution is bad and it should be stopped, slowed down etc. So we can argue the particulars of what pollution causes or we can move forward on the thing we agree on. makes a lot of sense to me."

does anyone here have actual academic or professional knowledge of these issues?
lots of opinion and conjecture.
- None of us are scientists, can we really be certain? I think it all comes down to who you believe.mrdobolina
- that may be true - on another note. how come you're always getting into scraps? :)lowimpakt
- I'm opinionated and liberal but not a pacifist.mrdobolina

It's pretty cold in the studio, here. Could do with a bit of warming up.

Whether or not human-induced CO2 has any impact, these are all natural cycles, nothing I would worry about. Greenland used to have palm trees. A couple of hundred years ago bars used to be set up for the winter in the middle of the frozen Baltic Sea, on the way from Sweden to Poland.
Melting of the icebergs will not rise sea level, that's basic physics (melting ice residing on land would though). Global temperature rised 0,7˚C in 33 years, but sea levels haven't changed. It is worth noting, the warming is observed on other Solar System planets, which links the warming to solar activity.What I am sure about, there are billions to be made selling actually nothing: CO2 quotas. That is a huge thing in the EU, there are companies whose only asset, worth millions is the quota and there are enormous pentalies for exceeding these. That's a large scam. Gordon Brown imposed a CO2 tax on every flight out of the UK. This is a real problem, this is how the CO2 affects me and my wallet.

- RAFALSKI... you just reached 'hero' status w/me today. :)
Well.. well put. Thank God for some honesty. :)PonyBoy - Rafalski, do you teach physics at Eldorado High School in Vegas? Cause that dude there use to say all kind of cool shit like this!Mellimelvin

I'm not a scientist by any stretch of the imagination, but I thought the real scientists interviewed by the BBC had it dead on. The show was aired on google video for a while, too bad it's now MIA.

http://search.bbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/…See "New global warming theory". I'd trust astronomers in Denmark before I'd trust Al Gore.

Global Warming? - that is so 1990's...
It's called 'Climate Change' now (which is of course what climate is/does), watch this.

we can cheerypick theories all day because there are plenty out there.
I'm interested in why you put your faith in one theory from one professor over the other theories based on peer-reviewed studies by thousands of scientists around the world?
i'm fully open to these scientists being wrong/suffering from cognitive lock-in etc.

Well ultimately lowimpakt, the science I've seen from the people who say global warming is from the sun seems a lot stronger than the science that says it's our fault. The people who say it's our fault are not being mindful of our geological history. The way I see it, you can't understanding where you're going if you don't understand the past. There are such vast differences in the reading of the geological and solar signs, that makes me think one of the two groups has their asses on backwards. The notion that global warming is our fault, and the popularity of that claim and its ensuing fallout can be blamed solely on media hype, in my opinion.
I found this interesting:

of course you guys will say I'm not qualified to make educated decisions about good vs. bad science since I'm a Creationist.
Oh, the irony...heh.
- bingo. you aren't one of those YEC's though are you?mrdobolina
- I don't have a very strong opinion either way about an old or young earth.gramme
- The way I see it, if God exists and can create worlds, then who really cares if it took 6 days or 6 billion years.gramme
- ...He could've done it in 6 minutes, if he felt so inclined.gramme
