Why are glaciers crumbling (rather loudly) in Greenland?

Question

Could it be global warming or is the Danish government, who invited the German chancellor up to view the changes, just a dupe of Al Gore and his loony enviroterroristas?

Regarding Mars, check out NASA's website on this. NASA firmly believes global warming is a huge problem, as does our own military, which has written an alarming report indicating that England may be in a deep freeze within 10 years.

By the way, a dear friend of mine, good old boy who scoffs at liberals and always scoffed at global warming, told me with alarm that this past year, the fishing was all messed up at the Outer Banks, where he's fished for more than 2 decades, because the warming of the Chesapeake has destroyed migration patterns of the fish in the region.

Remember, NASA scientist said Bush's thugs tried to silence him from discussing the facts about dangerous climate change"

Answer 1

Does it matter? The world won't be convinced that there's no global warming until about 10 years from now, when all the bad things that are supposed to happen never happen.

Edit: I'm going to start printing out all the times I find predictions for what's going to happen, and every time that year comes along and nothing's happened, I'm going to come to your house and hand you a printout of that page, and say "I told you so!" and shake your hand and leave. Then I'll find the so-called "scientist" who wrote the report and do the same thing.

Answer 2

i be conscious of ! And final 365 days, Greece burnt to the floor and this 365 days it appears that evidently love that's Russia's turn, alongside with different heatwaves in the process the international. The one hundred sq. mile ice island you suggested would desire to grow to be caught whilst ice returns this wintry climate they are saying, yet a great style of different surprising issues are happening on Greenland, with tremendous swimming pools and lakes of melted ice, melting added into the Greenland icecap and glaciers and turning out to be extraordinary ice caverns - ultimately, in the now not so distant destiny, Greenland is in all likelihood going to calve plenty greater tremendous sized icebergs than widespread, little question...

Answer 3

I still want to know who I can blame for the last Ice Age - Alaska used to be a temperate climate.

I don't know anyone who denies that the earth is in a warming cycle right now, but it has warmed and cooled itself for years - before man came on the scene. I think we certainly need to take care of our planet, but to think we could stop natural cycles is the epitome of arrogance.

Such a big deal was made out of the 1600 scientists who signed a letter warning us about the "devastating consequences" of global warming, but you sure as hell didn't hear much about the SEVENTEEN THOUSAND scientists who signed a petition stating there is no convincing evidence that greenhouse gases will disrupt the earth's climate.

Oh, and there was a meterologist working for the Weather Channel who almost lost *his* job because he refused to toe the liberal party line. But I have a feeling you'll think he deserved it.

Answer 4

I'm doing my part to stop global warming. Once the ice caps started melting on Mars, I stopped driving my SUV there.

So, what exactly are we supposed to do about natural cycles? I was under the impression that the environmentalist whack jobs used all their Chicken Little "the sky is falling" cards back in the late 70's early 80's when they were running around screaming about global cooling.

I say that since this is another natural cycle we pass laws to ban the sun for an additional four hours per day. yup, four more hours of darkness should tip the scales.

Answer 5

No such thing as global warming. It is a cult headed by Father Al.

Answer 6

Keep drinking the kool aid. Here's a news bulletin, glaciers have been crumbling in Greenland for centuries.

Answer 7

Bush and Cheney did it. They snuck up there late at night and shot fully automatic machine gun pistols at them. Tell everyone, this needs to be stopped.

Answer 8

let me answer that question with a question

why are the ice caps on mars melting , no humans are up there to create man made global warming

in my opinion we are in a warming cycle

Answer 9

hmmmm that maybe an excellent question, But are you not expirencing extreme heat? Just to let you know IT IS SUMMER. Ask that question in the middle of of winter.

Answer 10

Read 'State of Fear", (I think by Michael Criton) It will shine a whole new light on things for you.
