great, it is that African believe almost anything since they have little impact in technology. It is good to think differently. To be balanced and not just go with theory without substantial proof. I think what Trump might be saying is Nature is evolving. Which has always been it's characteristics according to science caused by so many factors. Use of fossil fuel may be a cause but will not stop it and it's effects may not even be severe or perhaps could provide solutions to another of man's problem in the nearest term.
True, in my opinion use of fossil fuels only speeds up the process of nature doing its thing. This is just another hoax created to for a few researchers to feed off.

There are graduates from Nigerian universities changing the world. Look beyond your Niche. There are graduates that have made marks in their profession.

If you condemn the product, will the product change except the process and company manufacturing th product change. Liken the process to university and company to the government. So the government has got to change the process. The graduates can do less. That refers me to your post where you say that you see graduates "carrying folder up and down". Thats not a good speech

I suspect say u carry files wella lol, no offence...may not be a good speech but e dey pain me. I am not blaming the person carrying the file, but the routine. I see Mds pay huge amout to some unknown foreigners who might be ediots in there own countries just bc, of how they carry themselves. Well, God help us the govt put our youths in the right direction so that, they will have some values. I think the university is the place to tackle.

Explorers:


Some scientist are with and some are against the fact that this can lead to rise in sea level after melting.

They claimed that the break off has claimed 10% of the ice shelf and that can hasten more glacial flowing into the ocean.



But to me personally, i believe that this can cause the ocean level to rise.

Just like filling a bucket with water, then drop 5kg of ice into it.

Its going to spill now abi


Pictured is what normal iceberg looks like, its floating and about 80% of the mass is underwater.

Now imagine something that's over over a trillion-tonne, 5800km2

This not like your physics bucket and ice experiment where there is no dry land involved.
The conclusion remains valid. The water level will not rise neither in the ice and bucket experiment nor in the case of polar ice caps.

NickD:

U have a valid argument on that based on displacement theory or should I say upthrust in Physics. Nice perspective I actually haven't looked at it from this angle but then it means when there is a massive wave there would be more water in the sea that would cause more destruction so in the end it's still the same result of more flooding to those coastal towns that's the argument.
Yh there will be more water in the search. But the main thing here is the water/ sea level with respect to land. If it remains the same or even reduces due to melting, then flooding might not really occur.
That's why the surface of the earth contains so much water that should even spill over and flood all land...but it doesn't. The water level is the main thing.

Explorers:
Despite a recent trend of disbelief toward global warming, Mother Nature has just made herself clear.

A giant, trillion-tonne iceberg hasjust broken away from Antarctic ice shelf, and it’s an alarm we should all be heeding.

The iceberg, which has an area of roughly 4 times the size of London at 5800 km2, was part of an ice sheet known as Larsen C.

Researchers at Swansea University had been watching the glacial divide for months, and using satellite imaging, they were able to determine that the iceberg ‘calved’ (broke away) from Antarctica sometime between July 10th and 12th.

Man is still unsure of what's going on.

For now global warming remains a mystery n a scam.

Till we have clear evidence, it remains so.

QueenBeeQBQ:


I think you're both right... It will definitely overspill, just not as much as Explorers estimated.
Now, according to my estimation, it's the 20% that has always been above the water level, that's going to overspill. Therefore, using the example of the bucket and the 5kg iceblock, it's only 1kg will actually overspill. Since the initial 80%(4kg), was already in the water...


Yeah I know, I can calculate for Africa. Appreciate by checking out my signature...
Ok NickD . This is the main stuff right here. She got it exactly. The sea level WILL increase, but only in relation to the percentage of the ice cap that was/is above the water.
I thought of it, but I didn't really want to pursue the matter any further.


And madam...Wehdone.

Exactly. The claim that humans cause global warming through emissions of green houses gases is the greatest lie invented by man. One of the globalist grand design to wipe out more than half of the world's population under the fibble excuse of global warming. If at all the temperature of the earth is rising, it will be due to solar atmospheric emissions from the sun deep in outer space, not human activities.

Explorers:
Due to the rapid rising of temperatures in West Antarctica, ice shelves are becoming more fragile than ever.

Not only does this massive iceberg pose a security risk to maritime traffic, its separation could cause glaciers stabilized by Larsen C to drift into the Atlantic Ocean and melt, which could raise the global water mark by 10 centimeters.
Do you think this increase in global water level will lead to a significant change worldwide?
