Re: Greenland ice-loss doubles in past decade, raising sea level faster (Forwarded)

Jim Logajan,
Thanks for the following link that shows where a good half of Florida
is gone with just the 8 meter rise.

Wouldn't it be fun having an interactive globe view of mother Earth,
whereas we could zoom in and interactively stipulate as to the levels
of oceans and even as to that of the resulting tidal and storm surge
covered land that'll only get so much worse off as global warming
continues to thermally expand upon the entire global volumes of fresh
and salty water.

Of course the 1°C of mean surface air temperature rise since 1850 has
only been adding the necessary insult to injury of what the next
century should far exceed by another two fold. The solar influx
illuminating as upon more unfrozen and/or dirty surfaces and otherwise
impacting dark water as made accessible by day, and then everything
becoming more thermally insulated by way of the increased clouds of
nighttime should only get the ball rolling all the faster, to the point
where stormy wet real estate in Antarctica is where all the next
generations of booming high-ground housing development gets to compete
along with the stormy wet terrain that's eroding away from a totally
naked Greenland.

Thus in addition the ice and snow melt, and the impressive factors of
thermal expansion coefficient, we'll also have those extra new and
improved hourly megatonnage rates of vast terrain run-off via erosion
that should displace nearly as much volumes as per the snow and ice,
making the 100 meter rise in ocean and of large inland lakes that'll
run over their banks into creating quite the nearly water-world of
mostly vast dead-zones that are chuck full of jellyfish.

I wonder globally as to how many billions upon billions of cubic meters
of soil and rock is doing into the drink?

Isn't it amazing what a few percentage points of our having provided a
drop in the global albedo accomplishes, in terms of allowing in the
little extra solar influx energy that's encharge of such ice and snow
melt, plus creating extra impressive storms and resulting in such
horrific collateral property and soil damage that's running us amuck?
