Cold Facts On Rising Seas

ABC Science Show presenter Robyn Williams panics about global warming:

Andrew Bolt: I ask you, Robyn, 100 metres [of sea level rises] in the next century...do you really think that?

Robyn Williams: It is possible, yes.

It is possible, no, actually.

Now Glaciologist Nikolai Osokin of the Russian Academy of Science reassures Williams about global warming:

If all ice on the earth melted, the level of the oceans would rise by 64 meters. Many coastal cities would be under water, and so
would the Netherlands, a significant part of which lies below sea level. However, the Dutch and the rest of the planet may rest
assured: this hypothetical catastrophe could not take place anytime within the next thousand years
And is there actually any reason to believe Antartica, which has not warmed and is home of 90 per cent of the world's land-based
ice, will melt clean away?

The temperature rise of 3-6 degrees Celsius over the next century promised by pessimists could not have a significant influence on
the Antarctic, where the average temperature is less than 40 degrees below zero.

hey, bozo, why keep posting other peoples work ? is it because you are
incapable of original thought ? anyway, you`re a boring repetitive

at what temperature does ice melt?
mind you those neat pics of ice falling into the Southern Ocean is due
to some glacier on the move I presume.

NASA Animates 20,000 Years Of Antarctic Ice History

February 3, 1999

GREENBELT, Maryland (CNN) -- Scientists studying the shrinking of the
Antarctic ice sheet can now watch a movie of the phenomenon.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has developed 3-D
computer animation showing the retreat of the west Antarctic ice sheet
over 20,000 years, speeded up into a few minutes of dramatic video footage.

"The purpose of the visual is to emphasize the changes that have taken
place," said Robert Bindschadler, a glaciologist at the NASA Goddard
Space Flight Center in Maryland.

"During the last 20,000 years, the west Antarctic ice sheet lost
two-thirds of its mass and raised the sea level 10 meters. It still
contains enough ice to raise the sea level by another 5 meters if it
were to lose the remainder of its mass,' Bindschadler said.

During the last 30 years, scientists have become increasingly concerned
about the effects global warming might have on the west Antarctic ice
sheet. Specifically, some researchers have expressed concern that rapid
melting of the sheet could contribute to a catastrophic rise in sea
levels around the world.

The majority of the west Antarctic ice sheet sits atop dry land, while
the east Antarctic ice sheet is grounded below sea level. Changes in the
east Antarctic sheet would have little effect on sea levels since the
ice displaces water, but a complete melt of west Antarctic ice would
pour new water into the oceans.

Scientists say the ice sheet has lost two-thirds of its mass

Bindschadler said there is evidence that the west Antarctic ice sheet
may have melted and reformed several times during the past 11 million years.

The computer animation begins with Antarctica at the peak of the last
Ice Age about 20,000 years ago, and shows the gradual shrinking of the
west ice sheet.

"About 12,000 years ago, it began a dramatic retreat," Bindschadler
said. "We're not sure if the retreat is still taking place -- that's
one of the main questions we're trying to answer."
