Global Climate Disruption.

[Nowake]

EDIT:

But the water doesn't rise all that much since 1981, surely we dutchies must have noticed it if it did. Attenwhatshisnam is full off it, should stick to filming polar bears in Amsterdam's zoo. Nothing to be absolutely terrified about, it ain't happening

It has been explained by half a dozen people already, all replying to you directly, that currently we are observing the melting of the Arctic's floating ice, and not the ice covering the Antarctic land.
It was also explained exhaustively why the difference is crucial.
Come on, now that we even proved there is plenty of solidified water to raise the sea level way above your threshold, are we going to just repeat the whole discussion for the sake of it?




@drone, ACIN
Look, my remark was a reply to Frag’s insistence that calculating mathematically that the sea level could rise by 40m is impossible.

drone: But it's not an elementary school problem.
ACIN: Pssshhhh, I was calculating this kind of stuff in 5th grade.

Thus I really don’t see where’s the cause for irony
We were taught about buoyancy and how to calculate its force (hence also establish displaced volumes) precisely in the 5^th grade, which inaugurated our first year of physics classes.
We were taught about density in the 6^th grade.
Normal kids in a normal school in a normal 250.000 people town in a normal east-European country.


Now I will give you that perhaps that is middle school, not elementary, I am always fuzzy when it comes to your system – we go through general school (1^st to 8^th) and lyceum (9^th to 12^th) here, so we don’t really make a distinction.


Oh well, I guess we really needed the off-topic, you meanies ganging up on poor old Nowake
