Doomsday glacier, which could raise sea level by several feet, is holding on 'by its fingernails'

Tonga may have helped keep it there a little longer.

How can something that is already in the water make the water rise up ?

The same reason you should buy your Burntbucks with no ice, then get a cup of ice.
...it doesn't
Burntbucks CEO understands this too, when they sell you a large coffee that's like 2 ounces without ice for $75

are people seriously dumb enough to buy that a small (in the scheme of things), glacier, already in the ocean, can cause the ocean to rise several feet by breaking free and melting?

we are talking about the worlds oceans with a surface area of 139 million square miles. does that glacier already cover most of the world's oceans? if not, how can there be enough water to even raise it one foot, forget about rising 16 feet.

On top of that, frozen water actually takes up more space than liquid water. Land based glaciers should in theory raise the water levels but any glacier over water will decrease the space it takes up by the same amount.

There are many many cities and anciet civilizations that are currently under water. A lot of people reference Atlantis but in my opinion that's still not proven. But I think everyone knows about Dwarka, completely underwater.

The real issue is ice and snow reflect light (heat) back into the vacuum.

If anything, we are going into a cooling period starting soon.

lmfao.

cnnnnn. the same kreeps who said a few years ago, klimate change would be their next skam.

turn off the newz, you will live a happier life.

THIS! is...

Consistently
Nonsense
Network!

Angela Fritz... I bet she has a cousin who used to babysit a fellow who has a best friend that once drove in front of a high school. That apparently makes her an expert (meaning she once was a "pert") in physics.

Y'know, this used to be laughable... then it became frustrating... then it became sad... now it's just one of those things that makes people want to cringe in shame at being part of the same species. Kind of like that 2nd cousin who thinks the stars are just fireflies that got stuck in that black "stuff" up there, 'cause Timon said so and Timon is smart.

Some days, I think we need to expand our grading system in schools. We should have:

A = Excellent
B - Good
C - Average
D - Poor
F - Fail
CNN - Insufficient intelligence to work anywhere else.

So frozen water doesn't burst pipes?

Nope!

It's all lies, designed to make people buy ice dispensers. If I were you, I'd cut all that insulation out from around your water pipes this winter so you can have ice right there at the tap for free. That's how you get back at the man!

Heeeeeeeere's your sign.

You had me fooled into thinking your C key was broken or missing on your keyboard.. until I noticed that you spelled CNN right.

Then I was at a loss.

It's only if the entire West Antarctic ice sheet melted that sea levels would rise by 16 feet.

The Thwaites Glacier is just a small part of that.

Its not global warming but geothermal activity that's melting that glacier. Volcanic activity. So nothing can be done. Other than that, the South Pole has actually increased in ice elsewhere as temperatures have actually slightly decreased.
If you can't follow the science, follow the money and then you'll find the science.

Not if you use Pex pipes for your water lines.

Water does expand when freezing. It is lighter than liquid water, but the mass doesn't change. That is the secret. Mass is the same, and the water stays the same level no matter once all melted. Just because it expands only explains why it was floating and some poking out of the water line.

Water's volume increases when if freezes. You are correct on it's Mass. The expansion means that the ice displaces more water than it's Mass. That's why it floats.

Have you decided to ignore Quantum energy or Solar energy? It is clear you are trying to double talk to a non scientist to me.
Bluff called.
You don't understand Cosmic energy either if you are not discussing it here for this argument. You have another think coming if you think there are not mechanisms in place you might not have considered yet.

If The Earth is warming from underground, why is CO2 causing Global Climate Change? 😎

The Earth isn't warming from underground.

Last I heard the entire galactic region is heating up, hence the warming of other bodies in our solar system.
So either our earth based science is lying about the planet warming, or they're wrong about the other planets in our system also warming.

A few posts back you demonstrated you don't understand how ice works, despite several previous posts explaining mass vs volume, so I'm not sure you're ready to talk about the potential for electromagnetic waves warming the core of this planet.
To be clear, I've not seen any evidence that it's happening- but it would explain the warming of other planets in our solar system.

You would have to explain where the electromagnetic force is coming from that is strong enough to cause a dielectrically polarized energy flow around the core of any planet capable of heating it. As yet, we have never detected one.

Aren't beach front property supposed to be underwater by now according to Al Gore?

CNN huh! Take a glass od ice water. Fill it to the top...when the ice melts does the water over flow out of the glass. NO! Another CNN Special...you probably believe NSNBC also...

He even updated the dates as time slipped up and passed. He is such a LOSER.. "with a shape of an "L" on his forehead!"

So, they are saying that this one ice shelf has about 35,640,000,000,000,000 cubic feet of water? Because that's how much water is needed to raise the sea levels by ten feet globally. The more I read stories like this, the more I realize that most of the people that took advantage of the legalizing of certain substances are college kids.
