Ok. so.. they announced some random glacier in finland that was dissapearing rapidly on bbc news the other day,, but that only effects a remote region..

The greenland glaciers are the ones that can add upto 30 extra feet of water to the sea level which effects all the coastlines around the globe.. its proven the predictions are now globally wrong and everything is accelerating.

Id say this should be on the news instead, if it keeps accelerating it may only be 20 years before the landscape changes , people need to prepare and plan for that.

this report 2 years ago from a NASA study on the Antartic glacier's: http://www.physorg.com/news2201.html , show how one doubled in speed over the course of 1 year, its tripled over 2004/05. You can kind of do the math from there.
 
Why is this in politics?

Is it someone's fault, other than the irresistable need to consume which is inherint in all humanity by default?
 
Anyone got one of those maps showing the "new" coastline. I searched but found none.

It's partly your ignorant president's fault, he refused to sign the Kyoto protocol.

You do know that the Senate also voted against it, correct? I guess its easier just to blame Bush though. Furthermore, the treaty is garbage, China and India werent included.
 
oh, I found something hiding.. lol

thats from 2002, but the more upto date articles are basically saying that they have underestimated again, and sea levels may begin to rise rapidly if acceleration increases as shown.

http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/1216-04.htm, another NASA analysis

NASA scientists reported this fall that a number of massive glaciers in the west are sliding into the ocean at accelerating rates and raising sea levels faster than expected.

Then your senate is ignorant. And I know that the treaty is not enough, bit it's better than nothing, correct?
 
Day after tomorrow anyone? I wish bush would do more in the ways of preventing crap like this.

PPff Finland remote...
 
We're ALL SCREWED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
There's no guarantee that anything we do would a) stop it happening now or b) would have prevented it from happening in the first place.
The Earth does this kind of thing all the time (when you look back at its history, our timeline is but a tiny blip) - ice ages, global warming etc etc
