that is a good thing...


we don't need the ice..we don't need another killing ice age


we don't need this to be an ice planet, we need this to be a rain forest (tropical) planet....

I don't see us needing to really control the population






you could fit all 7 billion ( the WORLD POP) people in the continental USA, giving them 1/4 acre each..every single one (including each child out there)..........




so why you even conceive that the world is over populated and we need to talk about population control

And we know that volcanic activity is responsible for ice melt at the South Pole. As well as volcanically increased CO2 levels worldwide. I'll have to look into volcanic activity in Greenland to see if that might be the cause. Iceland had been experiencing increased volcanic activity. No volcanic activity but a cluster of earthquakes in 2012 did create some new hot springs there.

That must be one HUUUUUUGE scale they're using to weigh the loss with.

It's memorial day weekend. Kindergarten must have been let out early today judging by the posts in this thread.

And what would that accomplish. Its obviously not surface area that is the problem. that's just a silly canard. Yeah, there is a ton of water on the earth to but like 1% of it is potable.

If the argument is that man is the cause of manmade climate change, wouldn't the obvious solution be fewer people?

To answer your question, yes, Greenland is intricately tied to the Iceland mantle plume...

Widespread volcanism in the Greenland–North Atlantic region explained by the Iceland plume

Liberals actually think we can change the climate/weather. Think about that....
think about the power we possess!! We can make it 75-80 degrees every day, around the world, any city, if we throw enough money into the sky. Lol.

Scam!!!!
