I am totally lovin' this. Great thread. I took some liberties with an earlier post I made here, revised and expanded it, threw it on my site and linked to this thread. It may draw a larger group and expand on this. Since that's something like inviting the whole town to a limited party I apologize but hope any influx will work for you. I think it's likely to be minimal, but who knows ... In the name of settled science everywhere, I send my warmest regards, ara Hi, LC.

I am totally lovin’ this. Great thread.

I took some liberties with an earlier post I made here, revised and expanded it, threw it on my site and linked to this thread.

It may draw a larger group and expand on this.

Since that’s something like inviting the whole town to a limited party I apologize but hope any influx will work for you. I think it’s likely to be minimal, but who knows …

In the name of settled science everywhere, I send my warmest regards,

What do Mars and Earth have in common?
The Sun.
Global warming is just part of the solar activity cycle. Let’s all breath a sigh of relief that we’re not living in an ice Age.

I just walked outside and can officially report that global warming is no where to be found. Fall is here. Lord Crimson Hi Grit

Who would have thought there would be this much interest in an iceberg?

I just walked outside and can officially report that global warming is no where to be found. Fall is here.

Oh, and there's no valid proof that the Earth is warming. the Grit Hi LC,

Sense there seems to be a “consensus” on the ice berg question, can we consider this settled science?

Oh, and there’s no valid proof that the Earth is warming.

I turned up my speakers and could hear a faint voice say, "I'm melting, I'm melting... what a world..." That's when it occurred to me that the "green" meanie was the original global warming environmentalist. Lord Crimson Hi ara

I know I do. That said, LC, have you noticed the morose face on your iceberg above? Use the vertical light/dark shadow as a line of demarcation. To (your) right of that you will see a shadowed eye with a rather ghoulish bag of weariness under it. To the left is another eye, upturned in sorrow at the bridge, a somewhat stressed forehead above both and a sunlit forelock over that. Something of a Kerryesque nose divides them and, if you're careful, you'll see the subtle suggestion of a mouth downturned at the corners beneath it all. This is one tired old 'berg. Oh, the things it would probably like to say could it speak. ara I think we all see faces and things in clouds and rocks and such natural wonders. I know I do.

The law of displacement supports your concern here. The only factor I can think of that would contradict this is the fact that molecules contract as the temperature lowers. Presumably the temperature of the Ice is lower than the temperature of the water around it (or the water would be Ice). Now if the temperature of the Ice rises causeing the water to melt the volume could theoretically expand, but I doubt that that temerature coefficient and its relative volume differential would come anywhere near causing the oceans to rise to the degree the left claim. B-T-W........did you hear that algore is the leading candidate for this years Nobel Peace Prize for "inconvenient truth." They will have to make an exception to give the award to this type of "work" but you know that the Nobel foundation is a bunch of liberal wacos, so that shouldn't impose much of a hurdle..........steve LC, good point I have thought about this myself.
