@corp.supernews.com:

Al Gore told me that global warming was causing the arctic ice cap

to
melt and the ocean is going to rise 20 feet.
Last night I mixed a drink in a tall glass with lots of ice. I left
it sit too long and the ice melted but the glass did NOT overflow. In
fact the liquid level was the same!
What's wrong here? (besides ruining a perfectly good drink)
Thanks
Gordon


Global warming has turned into a new religion, as usual for religions no
longer based on facts. If they can be made to BELIEVE that glass is
overflowing, for a substantial donation of course, then the glass will
overflow....in their minds.

One little problem with rising oceans not bantered about is the warmer
ocean has a HUGE increase in EVAPORATION over it's now larger surface.
The hotter it gets, the bigger its surface, the more it evaporates...tons
and tons! The ocean may rise 20 ft, in some places. For instance, in
the Bay of Fundy, it rises 60 ft, every day....and global warmists never
mention it. They probably don't BELIEVE it rises 60', even if it falls
60' six hours later. You can see how this religion, like the rest of
them, is a religion of CONVENIENT beliefs....those that generate the
largest government grants on a recurring basis.

The Earth IS warming up. Being that it is already nearly as cold as it
has ever been since the last ice age, that's not such a bad idea! What
will just blow the new global warmists into orbit is if it, once again
like it did from 1940-1975, goes into a sustained cooling period, or,
worse yet, if it goes into another Little Ice Age like it did in the late
1800's when my Irish ancestors had to flee to America through Ellis
Island because it was too cold in Ireland to feed her people....in an era
when thousands and thousands of huge smoke stacks were just POURING coal
fumes, carbon black, wood fire pollution into the atmosphere....and we
almost froze to death from......"global warming" caused by humans.
