"Science can take a hike."I'm talking about all the ice melting in a very short period of time --- not over decades.
Once again, should all the ice and snow on the planet melt today, the level of the ocean would be lower tomorrow.
In my opinion.
It's basic science.
Then why don't the doomsday scientists mention that, instead of whining about ice and snow melting?
My guess would be because it's easier to dupe the common man by showing a poor polar bear trapped on an ice floe, than it is to dupe him with a vapor chamber.
Um ... if you hold an ice cube over a flame, the ice cube will begin melting, yet retain the same temperature.Water expands when over 4 degrees C, AV. That's the reason why the seas are going to rise, and adding to the amount of liquid water will enhance that.
Oh, way to shift the blame there. I confirmed that fact with about 10 secs of googling. But no, no, the poor defenceless nonscientists must be told of everything correctly by scientists first time!
Honestly, if you don't want to be treated like kids...
Excuse me? DUPING?

Now, you can either retract your error, or you can keep on slandering people.
Once again, I strongly recommend you do the former.

I said OVER 4 degrees, canukian.
Yes, water contracts when heated, but only up to the 4 degree mark. After that, it acts like a normal material and expands when heated.

I don't know how that works, but it does.
In addition, just how much energy is needed to raise the entire oceans of the earth 4[sup]0[/sup]C?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the oceans are going to start expanding until the final drop of water at the bottom of the Mariana Trench raises 4[sup]0[/sup]?
well this shows water does not expand below 4 degrees. so this shows you were wrong.
WikiAnswers - Why water expands below 4 degree celsius
All the ice melting in a short period of time would be magic, and has nothing to do with global warming. Global warming models predict that much ice will melt over decades/centuries.
No, the rate of melting wouldn't change anything. If the ice on land melts (in seconds or over centuries), the water will flow into the ocean and raise sea levels.
The Little Ice Age was a time of cooler climate in most parts of the world. Although there is some disagreement about exactly when the Little Ice Age started, records suggest that temperatures began cooling around 1250 A.D. The coldest time was during the 16th and 17th Centuries. By 1850 the climate began to warm.
Erm....no, it doesn't.
I never claimed water doesn't expand BELOW 4 degrees (i.e. water temp < 4 deg C).
I claimed that water begins expanding again once it gets OVER 4 degrees (i.e. water temp > 4 deg C).
I.e. AV's claim that liquid water has less volume than the ice it came from is an insufficient picture. Water above 4 deg C will and does expand. This will contribute to rising waters.
Code:
the sea level is rising, the ice is melting, because of all the ice produced in the little ice age.
nothing to do with man made warming.Code:
Why would it be obvious given the fact that we know why the ice is melting, and it has nothing to do with the "Little Ice Age"?
By the way, didn't you just make the (wrong) argument that the ice isn't melting?
Code:
i cant find where it says water expands above 4. show me.
the cold temps of tlia bound up alotta ice. when tlia ended, the ice started melting, raising sea levels.
Then why don't the doomsday scientists mention that,
instead of whining about ice and snow melting?

Isis, of course it's possible for something to be perfect. God is perfect. God created us in his image, so we're perfect. Well, Men are at least... it was a silly girl like you and me that sinned and ruined the perfection God created here on earth. Sometimes I wish I could go back and punch Eve in the face. What kind of person would curse us like that? But that wouldn't be the Christian thing for me to do! I'll keep following God's will and spreading his love so that we can all be saved and be accepted into Jesus' arms when the rapture comes!
Seriously...not a poe?!
In other words, ice is melting because it used to be colder. An obvious and entirely superfluous statement.
When you don't support statements you're merely airing an opinion. It is not interesting.
