what are you talking about incorrect? noone said your information was incorrect. your title is, however, definitely misleading. Specifically it is misleading because you say Antarctica is falling apart. Antarctica is 5.4 million square miles of land covered by ice (without considering the ice over the oceans adjacent to Antarctica). The portion that collapsed is 220 square miles, which makes up a whopping 0.00407% of Antarctica. Hardly Antarctica falling apart.
with that said, any ice loss is bad for earth. However, 220 square miles of ice collapsing into the ocean and saying it will cause the sea level to rise is like saying an ice cube falling into a lake will causing the water level to rise. Furthermore, i think this ice was over the water. If that is the case then the current sea level already accounts for the mass of the ice, and it's collapse would have no effect on sea level anyway. The real damage is from the lose of land glacial ice. |

no, i do. primarily Dennis Prager who i deeply respect for his superior intellect of all things not just conservative politics and his civility. i also listen to Hugh Hewitt, a consumate Con Law polemicist.
never listened to Rush although i'd prolly agree with most of his political philosophy just not his delivery. i don't like people who are beligerent or full of themselves left or right. that i leave for myself;) |
