The Isolated Blurt Thread VI: The 6th Nonsense

[JohnnySavage]

The vast glaciers of western Antarctica are rapidly melting and losing ice to the sea and almost certainly have "passed the point of no return," according to new work by two separate teams of scientists.

The likely result: a rise in global sea levels of 4 feet or more in the coming centuries, says research made public Monday by scientists at the University of Washington, the University of California-Irvine and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

BUT HOW DID IT GET IN MY CABINET?!?!

Spam Lite?

That's what Saddam had when they found him.

[lovetoread]

I love spam.

Spam w/bacon. I didn't even know there was such a thing.

*shifty eyes*

Ha!

I love spam.

I haven't had it in probably 40 years. I'm tempted to try it.

I heard the men saying something
The captains tell they pay you well
And they say they need sailing men to
Show the way and leave today
Was it you that said, "How long, how long?"

Mmmmmmmmm

Bacon.

The point of no return is well passed.

The Permafrost Carbon Feedback is occurring with rising air temperatures in the Arctic. And, it is irreversible on human time scales. Plus, it's not even factored into the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report.

Adapt.

I'll be long dead.

Too many people. Too many selfish people.

The next few generations will have their work cut out for themselves paying for our excesses.

Dear fucking god. This shite is so wildly speculative and the dumbass goddamned professional gossips and busybodies of the media just regurgitate it with no caveats and no questions. The dumbfucks completely ignore the qualifications and the fine print.


Meanwhile the public is being brainwashed into believing this crap is the gospel truth and there is imminent danger. It would make Joseph Goebbels jealous.

“These observations are a possible sign of the progressive collapse of this sector in response to the high melting of its buttressing ice shelves by the ocean.”

“Until numerical ice sheet models coupled with realistic oceanic forcing are able to replicate these observations, projections of the evolution of this sector of West Antarctica should be interpreted with caution.”

“Except possibly for the lowest-melt scenario, the simulations indicate that early-stage collapse has begun. Less certain is the time scale, with the onset of rapid (>1 mm per year of sea-level rise) collapse in the different simulations within the range of 200 to 900 years.
​

Got that?

To translate a bit, that means sometime between 200 and 900 years from now the rate of ice loss from this glacier could reach a volume sufficient to raise sea levels about 4 inches (100 millimeters) a century. At that point, according to the paper, ice loss could pick up steam, with big losses over a period of decades.* But in a phone conversation, Joughin said the modeling was not reliable enough to say how much, how soon.”

And it's a little too late for goodbyes

Good morning and open your eyes

"It is better to be feared than loved."

 

[bluegypsy]

"It is better to be feared than loved."

I beg to differ.

 

[RedAllan]

"It is better to be feared than loved."

Or love to be feared.

 

[RedAllan]

It's morning the sun is shining, the sky is blue, looks like this could be a good day.

 

[Mockingjay]

Or love to be feared.

Everyone has their own opinion.
