Another fake news from Fake News Network and their cronies.
Nothing can bring back to the Paris treaty. All this is a ploy to cheat the United States in the global trade and it's all a bad deal.

EPA: how can be sell Alaska to Russia.

We know its serious, but explain to us

Picture a bucket of water that is 3/4 full then u place packs of ice into it that are numerous...it will lead to the bucket being filled with water and pouring out anything surrounding that bucket will get wet. As the sea level is rising from the melting of ice caps in the polar region or Antarctica more water is introduced into already existing bodies the shoreline or river bank would be receding inwards into dry land within the coastal regions that is cities and places bordered by the Atlantic ocean leading to massive flooding in those regions... If the entire ice cap melts then some cities would be submerged under water due to their nearness to the ocean and their low topography.

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
Lol. This your bucket example though. It has a flaw.
If the ice was never in the bucket full of water in the first place, then of course the bucket would spill water.
But here, the ice has always been there. It simply broke off.

You are wrong...The 5kg of ice have always been in the water...remove it...put it back...nothing changes...

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...

And when it breaks off what then happens? Does it still remain as ice? NO. It's a practical stuff u can do at home to have a better understanding.

Dude, no need for insults. Even in the scientific society, there are a lot of people who are against this global warming stuff. Do you know that if there is an oil spill over a large area of the sea the sea has the ability of cleansing itself without any human help, just that it is too far off for human timing. From the Cenozoic to the Paleohedean era do you know how many species that where wiped off? Sometimes I wonder the way you guys reason, you have a theory come with proof and let the superior argument carry the day. If global warming was a proven theory why haven't the entire scientific society backed it up? Show me a proven mathematical model proving global warming, and don't give that CFC and Ozone layer crap there is a proven model on that one. Nature is evolving and it will keep doing so Eons after we have all turned to dust.

lol this is a different issue bro, increase in the volume of water can only be solved if the ice in Antartica starts building up again and thats hard because there are so many pollution nowadays compared to hundreds or thousands years ago..sorry for the insult I retrieve that....what if half of the human race doesn't survive global warming ? imagine cities like Lagos,johanesburg,Loas Angeles and so many other coastal cities wiped off..that'll be tragic

Telling me that the entire home sapient species will get wiped off by nature is not a scientific argument. We all know that this will happen one day as mother earth keeps evolving. In my view, nature will always do what it wants. What we should do is to find a way of slowing that process.

Let's assume for one moment that reducing emissions won't turn the tide, what do we stand to lose from reducing emissions? Maybe u think ozone layer depletion and the consequences on us is hoax too? What about the direct carcinogenic effects of emissions on us humans even before it gets into the atmosphere? Do you know there would still be tectonic consequences for the billions of tonnes of fossil fuels we're withdrawing from underneath the earth's surface? Is renewable energy sources not cheaper than the fossil fuels that's causing all this fuss?

The level of the ocean will not rise but remain the same if the ice bergs melt. Reason is because when ice is melting, it contracts instead of expanding. cry

well, although there is something like global warming. Man can do little to keep nature remain the way he wishes for. We can only try and conserve. The task becomes a hard one because population increases by the day. I want to believe change in nature is what led to evolution according to science. Nature will evolve, same with its inhabitants. The inhabitants will definitely adapt!

No today ice done dey break? It has been breaking before we were here. It will keep breaking after we are long gone. As one breaks another is forming

Al Gore must have woken up from his long sleep

These climate people are so desperate. Won't be surprised if they actually broke this themselves just to prove a point.

The earth is one masterpiece of creation. It is self sustaining and will outlast us all.
