A panel of scientists told Congress the entire ice mass of Greenland will disappear from the world map if temperatures rise by as little as 2C –3.6 degrees Fahrenheit, with severe consequences for the rest of the world.The fall-out would be felt thousands of miles away from the Arctic, unleashing a global sea level rise of 23 feet. Low-lying cities such as New Orleans would vanish.
The Greenland ice sheet is a vast body of ice covering 660,235 sq mi, roughly 80% of the surface of Greenland. It is the second largest ice body in the World, after the Antarctic Ice Sheet. The ice sheet is almost 1,500 mi long in a north-south direction, and its greatest width is 680 mi at a latitude of 77°N, near its northern margin. The thickness is generally more than 1.24 mi; 1.86 mi at its thickest point. It is not the only ice mass of Greenland – isolated glaciers and small ice caps cover between 29,344 and 38,610 sq mi around the periphery. The ice in the current ice sheet is as old as 110,000 years.
Scientists believe global warming may be about to push the ice sheet over a threshold where the entire ice sheet will melt in less than a hundred or so years. If the entire 683,751 cu mi of ice were to melt, it would lead to a global sea level rise. This would inundate most coastal cities in the World and remove several small island countries from the face of Earth, since island nations such as Tuvalu and Maldives have a maximum altitude below or just above this number.
'Goodbye World,' as we know it. 'Hello Seaworld.'
Hi cutie...that's going to be a lot of water.
ReplyDeleteRemember the post you did on an ocean was being born in Africa ?
Oh yeah. I am now building an ark in my backyard.
ReplyDeleteI am booking reservations right now. Do you want a couple of seats.
ReplyDeleteForgot to tell you last night about Dr. Laura. some people are not qualified to speak about race relations and different ethnic groups without putting their foot in their mouth. In my family we don't dare use the 'N' word out of respect for ourselves .
ReplyDeleteShit like my broad is growing I better start building a boat.
ReplyDeleteHi Cutie...how's Nana??? What is Brian doing ??
What the hell go into her??
ReplyDeleteThis is happening to a number of celebrities lately. They get the worst kind of verbal diarrhea. She said the 'n'word a couple of dozen times.
Did you listen to her tape.She thought the lady she was talking to was too sensitive. But she didn't realize that she (herself) was totally insensitive.
ReplyDeleteNana started out quite nice today and ended the day by being a nasty old battleaxe.
ReplyDeleteBrian had an argument with Nana and practically sent her to her room.
He has a lot of patience with Nana but sometimes she just pushes him over that threshold.
ReplyDeleteHe enjoys being the handyman around here once in a while and he stained our deck.Nana didn't like the color he chose and told him so.
ReplyDeleteThat's how it started.
INCOMING MAIL ABOUT JIMMY.
ReplyDeleteI bet Nana is in her room deciding what she's going to do to him tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI think Nana gets a kick out of putting screws to Brian.
I can't believe Nana went to her room...how cute.
roger
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin told her not to quit just go and reload.
ReplyDeleteDR. Laura just showed he ignorance and she was in trouble not long ago talking about gays.
Cutie...she don't know who Dad/Gil is ...thank you for saying it a great idea.
ReplyDeleteHell you may go to sleep reading it.
Yeah, I remember the gay thing. that should have taught her a lesson.
ReplyDeleteThe Jimmy thing is fabulous.Good luck with that.
ReplyDeleteHow old is he and what grade is he in?
Sweetie, I am excited. Dad said if we deside to do this he had something for Jimmy.
ReplyDeleteI baked the coconut bars today and Gilly licked the bowl and he was a mess.
Boy , I would have love to seen Brian and Nana I would be laughing til next week or longer.
ReplyDeleteHave J heard from the boys??
I bet he looked so cute all covered in sticky goo.
ReplyDeleteThose are the pictures you keep in your mind the rest of your life.
ReplyDeleteNana and Brian are a riot. No, J hasn't heard boo from those boys and they haven't called their Guppa.
ReplyDeleteHe will be 9 in November and in the 3rd grade same as Sha, he failed a year...he should have started school at 5 like Sha because he was 6 before the new year.
ReplyDeleteThey're are just hanging out and he don't want J to know he can't afford to go anywhere....Taking care of those two old women you know he don't have any money...
ReplyDeleteSweetie ...this has been on my mind for a little while..
ReplyDeleteThe fool is jealous of P...but like our exes he had his chance.
Why would he be jealous of P? He had his own wife for nine years.
ReplyDeleteBecause P is still with his wife and she is very happy... he had his wife for 9 years...HUH...but where is she now?
ReplyDeleteI bet the fool just drools at the mouth when he see J and realize what a fool he was.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how that woman stayed with Bio for so long. She must have a thick skin. I think when his mom moved in, it was the last straw. I wonder if she realized her dream and went to veterinary college.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand she could be buried in the back yard.
I told you I wanted to see if I could start putting thing together like Mike Wallace...well I almost got it down.
ReplyDeleteBot I over-ate at dinner. I will probably have nightmares tonight. They will all be about Bio and the bodies in his back yard.I'm just waiting to see if his granny disappears next.
ReplyDeleteI doubt she went to veterinary college and she may be out there in the horse pasture, that's why he got rid of the horses.[giggles]
ReplyDeleteI have a tummy ache. I ate bluberries with rice cheese.
ReplyDelete[giggles] cutie you slay me..
ReplyDeleteI heard Horses don't like to be close to where someone been buried...wonder is that the reason he sold them...
Hell we are hot tonight.
What you had for dinner.
oh yes , you did have a taste for roughness ...but they are so good together.
ReplyDeleteI just hope the boys don't see a finger sticking out of the ground when they are playing out there like on CSI.
ReplyDeleteI had some sweet potato fries and some chicken and a salad.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any alka-salsa or any anti-acid tablet...if not take you a tablespoon soda in a glass of water...old Dr. NEE making a house call.Hahaha
ReplyDeleteDid you know that Mel flew in a psychologist/hypnotist to help him to relieve the stress he has been under since the rant tapes were released.
ReplyDeleteI make sweet potato fries they is a change from the irish patoto.
ReplyDeleteI have a post about it.Also Leonardo DiCaprio pulled out of a Mel movie he was seriously considering.He wwants nothing to do with the man. I wonder if that is the start of a trend.
ReplyDeleteYou know what? The soda in a glass of water does help. I have used that before. I am going to take some right now. Thankyou Dr Nee.
ReplyDeleteNo I didn't know that...it's to late for him now, he burned his bridges behind him..
ReplyDeleteI heard the Baby sitter called Oksana at the ball game to tell her to come home when it first started. The sitter had cancer tumors on the brain but she dies last weekend.
When Mel went back on the set of Badger he was filming with Jodie Foster directing it, they said no one wanted to be seen with him and he was to hot to touch.
ReplyDeleteI wonder is he still planning on moving to Australia. and they don't want him there.
This stuff doesn't taste too good, makes me shudder, but I know it will help.Shall I call you in the morning if it doesn't work
ReplyDeleteI heard Jodie Foster just kept on filming without making a fuss.
ReplyDeleteNo...take two aspirins and go back to bed.[giggles]
ReplyDeleteJodie did they were friends for a long time ...she just wanted to say goodby th bad rubbish.
ReplyDeleteHA! funny girl.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of work tomorrow so I can't go to bed. But that sure sounds like a wonderful idea.i would love to just spend a day in bed dozing and reading.Trouble is it would be addictive.
You probably couldn't stay in bed like that.
Nanny McPhee is opening here tomorrow and I have a post about Nannies...I tried to put them like Make Wallace do his...I will keep trying til I get it down pat, this one is the best one yet.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun post.Which blog are you going to put it on.
ReplyDeleteIf I stay in bed all of them would be in bed with me too.
ReplyDeleteThere's no rest for the weary.
It's in drafts on SH's and will you look it over and tell me what I need to do and post it for me.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the fact that Michelle is wearing wooly mammoth jewellry.Those tusks should be spread out among the museums of the world so we can all get to see them in their natural state and not on Michelle's wrist.Only the rich and privileged get to see them hwen they are made into jewellry.
ReplyDeleteNASA says the moon is shrinking and they have the Video on YouTube, take a look...I am going to learn how to do videos or tell you where I seen them...
ReplyDeleteNow that sounds like a very interesting video. I will take a look at it.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't but one, I can find a more useful place to spend my money.
ReplyDeleteShe makes no sense in what she says or what she do. I don't get her at all and I tried to like her but that's not happening.
Michelle wants nothing to do with the little people that helped Obama get in office...she is to big for her britches and she will get a rude awaking soon. she is quite ugly...and maybe it's true she got pregnant for BamBam to marry her.
Did you see the tour of that yacht?? Some people have way too much money. They don't know what to spend it on. They have to think up ridiculous things.
ReplyDeleteIs that what they say about Michelle,that she was preggers when they were dating?
ReplyDeleteWe think Michelle is just a little snooty. She went to Harvard and she is a lawyer. Okay I grant you that she must be intelligent but that doesn't make her better than anyone else. If she wasn't married to BamBam she would be nothing. She got her fame riding on his coat-tails.
ReplyDeletePIC...I have not changed because of who I married and I try to stay out the spotlight as much as possible and people know me for what I do and not who my hubby is.
ReplyDeleteWe live in a normal neighborhood , not like the one we lived in on the lake.
A lot of people have lost their homes there because of the recession and they was living beyond their means. Gil/Dad/Chris and James lost their ass off, so it's here today and gone tomorrow. We are just glad it didn't hurt to bad....but everyone lost something it they had investments.
I never thought you were in the same financial strata as a guy with a six hundred million dollar yacht.This particular guy is a multi billionaire. He could support your country.
ReplyDeleteYou never have to justify yourself to any fucking person in this fucking world.Don't forget that
ReplyDeleteI liked you BEFORE I knew you had money and I still like you so shut up.
It take more than going to Harvard for you to be intelligent.
ReplyDeleteIt also takes common sense to make it in this world.
No way would I wear the woolly jewelry ,there is two many hungry people in the world and I know we are making a difference with our meeting and I am thankful we don't have to pay rent.
I am going to find some way to ask her for a donation for my bears...Judy's Husband know Al Gore and they have been friends for years so I will ask her to ask her husband...he's the one that relocated here from Reno .
I will shut my pie hole.[giggles]
ReplyDeleteDon't you think it is shame that Al Gore lost his reputation. Because now he has lost his credibility and his voice as a spokesman for climate change.Who wants to listen to him now?
ReplyDeleteI was hoping Al would come and talk to your group one day and give you some encouragement.
ReplyDeleteI hate to see people like that, it should be a crime to have that much money.
ReplyDeleteI know for a fact that people have so much money didn't get it all honest...so many people starving and look at the people in Haiti and other countries they help, that's what they should be doing because they can't take it with them...
Maybe we could give old Al some encouragement , now it's being said he's gay..I didn't write about it because it havent been proven.
ReplyDeleteThis man is a Russian with some dubious things in his history. He could buy and sell Haiti and it wouldn't make a dent in his pocketbook.So why doesn't he do something for those people? I don't understand what makes guys like him tick.
ReplyDeleteJudy says she will see if she can get him here...Al has a pilot office in Hope, Ark. about 75/100 miles from here, she's trying to get them to check us out and maybe we can become alliliated with them we have received a letter from them once and waiting to hear something.
ReplyDeleteIt would be perfect if you could become affiliated with them. They would include you in all their activities and you could be more effective. It's good to become a part of a bigger voice then you can add to it and make it louder.
ReplyDeleteThere's the people you post about that had the flood and the earthquake in Chili.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he thinks he's going to take it with him.
Haven't you notice if you just have a little bit and you share it ...it always come back ten-fold.
Will you edit and post the nanny and tell me how it is ?
ReplyDeleteI better let you get to bed. You may have an exciting day tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI wonder where this new family adventure will take you.
I'll post it for you.
ReplyDeleteDad told me to keep going it may not come as quick as I want it, but keep working toward my goals and they will pan out for me and mot to quit because then I will be a loser.
ReplyDeleteThe mother(Annie) will be here around 9/10 tomorrow morning . You will here from me tomorrow around 4:PM.
ReplyDeleteWould you like me to email it or put it in drafts??
Jimmy is a very mannerable little boy...my whole family has a lot of love to give him.
Get some zzzzz's honey. It might be an emotional meeting tomorrow. I will look for your email tomorrow afternoon, after four.
ReplyDeleteSweetie ...yes I will say goodnight or should I say good morning. HA !!
ReplyDeletePleasent dreams and may the Rock get frisky tomorrow.
I just got the picture in my minds eye of you standing at the kitchen sink. Hahaha.
GOODNITE HUGS & KISSES...PIC
Kiss the Rock
By the way...kiss Nana too. [giggles]
Being an only child, he will love all the attention he will get. He will absorb it like a flower absorbs sunshine and it will heal any wounds still left by his father.
ReplyDeleteYou can forget my kissing Nana. Have a good night.Kiss the Shank. He's a pretty good guy for encouraging you to do this thing.
ReplyDeleteLuv and hugs...PIC
