Scientists slam Donald Trump's environment chief over climate denial: 'It's like disputing gravity, http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/donald-trump-scott-pruitt-climate-change-denial-environmental-protection-agency-epa-aaas-sierra-club-a7463046.html I thought Trump belives in climate change, at least when it comes to wanting to build seawalls to protect his golf courses. Now it turns out he doesen't Who knows whats next, at least watching the news is going to be interesting for the next four years. IBdaMann wrote: "Air" is not a body in and of itself.

Perhaps the green movement's habit of calling anybody who has any disagreement or even reasonable question over the doom of climate change a denier has come home to roost. If we are all that then there is no difference between reasonable skeptic and flat earther. Edited on 08-12-2016 21:16 |

Again I'm invariably forced to conclude it's not that my technical explanations or the more detailed technical explanations publicly available are insufficient to pass a bar of quality that your setting, its that you don't like what they say; for example Greenland ice is melting at increasing rates.

Back then there was no fuss about all this. Back then the idea of moderate bodies of ice staying about all year in comparitively hot environments just because they are highly reflective was taught to me. Ice in the alps can have sunbathers on it and not melt. I was also taught about how to calculate heat energy budgets in physics so the idea that a single monthh of temperatures above freezing is going to melt through 1m of snow by solar action alone is laughable to me. Then you will need to explain why a glacier of x thickness has increased the rate at which it flows down the slope of it's valley by a vast amount when the slope, and it's thickness have not changed although, yes, the end of it has retreated some 20km away from the bit at the top. Also you will find trouble explaining why the WWII aircraft are burried so deeply under the ice. The look of Greenland's ice cap is another problem; Melting ice has deep fissures in it where the flow of melt water exceeeds the deposition rate. When the rate of deposition by the anual snow fall is bigger than the melt rate you will get a generally smooth surface. Like that over almost all of Greenland. |

Actually, there is no gravitation force. Gravity is caused by curvature in spacetime caused by mass exerting itself on spacetime. It's like, when you lie on a bed, you cause a curvature in the bed and so if you put a marble on the bed then the marble moves toward you. Gravitation force theorized by Newton in the 1700s was debunked by Einstein the early 1900s. Edited on 09-12-2016 20:33 |

Tai Hai chen, you are making a critical error here. It is not necessarily the case that there is no force of gravity. What is the case is that Einstein's model defines spacetime and the relationships therein with mass. This is Einstein's way of depicting gravity and other phenomena. Surely you don't deny that material objects accelerate in Einstein's model, yes? That would be the force of gravity. It's just a matter of perspective.

They have been the same for hundreds of thousands of years. For the ice in central Greenland to melt it would require a very big temperature increase and then the rate at which it can melt is very limited. The fast melting of th eice sheets of the last ice age happened when the large lakes which form between the terminal moranes and the leading edge of the retreating ice sheet absorb lots of the long summer sunshine because they are nice and dark. All this heat energy is then used by melting the ice. Even then the melt rate was not that high, it was when the water finally made it's way under the ice sheet and floated it all off into the ocean that the very fast melting happened. And yes, it seems that I was the only one who went to a school where geography was taught at all. I think this due to the gibberish that is spouted here. |

The first of these assumptions is a bit tricky to correct since it requires a detailed analysis of sea depths.

That's why "tim the leaky plumber" never answered the Grace & IOM determinations of total land ice losses on Greenland. Grace satellites & I(nput)O(utput)Method determine continued & rapid acceleration of Greenland Ice Sheet losses. ////////// From May 2016: Improved GRACE regional mass balance estimates of the Greenland ice sheet is 208 plus/minus 18Gt/year mass loss rate for the period 2003 to 2008 from the GRACE solution, while the I(nput)O(utput)M solution shows a mass loss rate of 195 plus/minus 25 Gt/yr. The mass loss rates increase by ~ 67% and 85% in the 2009-2014 period in the GRACE and IOM solutions, respectively. The 10 year acceleration in the GRACE data is -25 plus/minus 8 Gt/yr/yr, consistent with the IOM solution,-26 plus/minus 12 Gt/yr/yr. According to GRACE & IOM data, present 2016 Greenland ice sheet losses range from ~ 393 Gtons/yr to 456 Gtons/yr. Now, the new Greenland Landmass Rebound study indicates extra ice losses such that 2016 Greenland ice sheet losses are ~ 410 to 475 Gtons/yr. /////// Suspect Greenland ice sheet loss will escalate past 1000 billion tons per year & the lack of science chemistry astronomy physics algebra in unearned hi skule DEE-plooomaas for toxic topix AGW denier liar whiners(& winers), will allow them to say, "what, da ain't no Greenlund iace ameltin'....". |
