We Know The Future.....
American, European, and other cities will be car-free. San Francisco,
Portland, and Seattle are already headed in that direction. As is Vancouver. The reason: the melting of Arctic ice and the link between pollution and death. |

Of course significant melting of arctic ice would make many cities
people free which would then get car free. As to the pollution. The volumes of horse **** would generate significant methane problems. There goes the greenhouse effect. Good going!!!

Actually, the melting of the Arctic pack ice would not affect sea levels at all, as it is part of the sea and is incorporated in sea levels already As to the pollution. The volumes of horse **** would generate significant methane problems. There goes the greenhouse effect. JJ is contributing to those levels now! American, European, and other cities will be car-free.

Seattle isn't headed in "that direction," nor are any other cities. The reason: the melting of Arctic ice and the link between pollution and death. Right. San Francisco and Seattle will just become like Venice or Amsterdam instead. "Joey," you're an idiot, plain and simple. A boring troll, too. -- dgs |

Orval Fairbairn wrote: Actually, the melting of the Arctic pack ice would not affect sea levels at all, as it is part of the sea and is incorporated in sea levels already Oh? Another science genius? Just for the sake of discussion do the following simple experiment: put some known volume of water (measured to the closest cubic cm) and put it into a graduated cylinder with an ice cube. Naturally the total volume will be higher. But note that volume and finally note the volume when the ice has melted. It will be greater (and higher? than the combined shown volume of the water with the cube floating in the water. Wonder why the final volume (and height) of the water will be higher than the volume of the water with the ice cube floating in it? |

It can only happen if the temperature of the water changes, and since the water that carries the ice is close to freezing anyway, no big change is expected. |

It can only happen if the temperature of the water changes, and since the water that carries the ice is close to freezing anyway, no big change is expected. The weight of the water will not change. The total volume will decrease. Doing the experiment your way, ignores the amount of ice above the waterline on the beaker. Ice is one of the few substances that expands when it solidifies / crystallizes. Water is densest at about 4-5 degrees C. The reason the coastal areas would flood if the polar ice melted, is because a lot of that ice is on dry land. Greenland is about 2 miles thick with ice. The sea ice melting, does not change the height of the seas, but if the polar land ice pack melts, that is alot of cubic miles / kilometers of water released to the seas. But we have experience mini-ice ages about every 11,000 years, so temperatures swings are normal. The argument is: what part of the temperature swing is man induced? |

=v= I dunno why USA/Canada and Europe are included, but I've
set followups back to the Bay Area, where they belong. =v= Scuba is fun stuff, and don't misunderestimate horse manure. Back when horses were a prominent part of San Francisco's transportation alternatives, people used to run out into the streets and collect their droppings to fertilize their yards. In fact, horse manure is what turned Golden Gate Park from sand dunes into soil where trees and other plants could grow! _Jym_ |
