I agree to a point. Yes, he is the biggest threat to a " Great America", but we have been non-stop polluting the enviroment since the early 70's, back when Shrub was just a dumb jock coke-head.

We have a natural disaster, Its name is George W Bush. The globe has been spiriling into the shitter since hes been president.





O come on, you got to be kidding me....you really are going to say that the condition that our dear planet is in right now is cause of W.....



Yea he may be the worst republican ever....and yes I am a republican and have no problem saying that but you can not lay the blame on him. You need to check yourself and everyone else that has been eating up our planents resources for generations.

No, the globe has been spinning into disaster since the peanut farmer, Jimmy Carter, was President, and no one, Republican or Democrat has been able to halt the decline.

The world ended the day american cars started turning into plastic. That was some time in the mid 70's. I wasn't around for that, but i heard Nader was there.

Snow in Buenos Aires for the first time since 1918...

I wonder how Al Gore's going to explain this...

We all remember a few years ago when a part of Antarctica broke away.



Part of the Ross Ice Shelf broke free and they called it The B15 Antarctic Iceberg. This was the largest recorded iceberg in recent history. It's almost twice the size of Rhode Island.

Ouch. B15 broke up into many pieces. Could cause havoc! More will break off as the shelf melts. It WILL cause sea level to raise. Some people think that floating ice will not change the sea level when it melts.



"Archimedes’ Principle states that an object immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces."



That is, fresh water ice in fresh water would melt without a change in water level. Fresh ice floats higher in salt water because...



Freshwater is not as dense as saltwater; so the floating ice cube displaced less volume than it contributed once it melted.



But...



It's the ice on land that will cause a biblical catastrophe when it melts. The release of 30 million cubic kilometres of water would be sick. The ice is so great that it pushes some of the land below sea level. I think we might see giant tsunamis.





Add popcorn to your survival bunker, you'll want to enjoy the show.

Humankind is pretty much screwed, I think.



What if an iceberg that big hit a large coastal city? You think something that big could take out bridges. If it actually impacted land, it could cause significant tectonic shifting, I would think. Is it close to any land? I couldn't tell from the link.

[Mwuhaha]

I doubt it could get that close to land unless iot was deep deep water on the coastline. If enough broke free from the artic it could change the current flow and make the Gulf cooler thus have cooler summers and colder winters.

I'd like that.

Just start shipping the ice to the moon so we have water for our Moon Base!



The moon unit will be divided into two divisions: Moon Unit Alpha and Moon Unit Zappa.



I refuse to have serious conversations about the consequences of our actions on earth with people that cant spell 'civilization' =)

As an ex public school teacher, I am ashamed.

In my defense, I only post while enebriated.
