There are people in America right now that don't want the ice caps to melt.

How does this make you feel?

No more Florida? Clear win-win situation.

I guess there won't be anymore Florida man on twitter....

Nah, FL ain't so bad besides the elderly and everyone's excessive need to travel here during winter or vacation, It gets packed.

I'd rather flood Cali and southwest USA.

Then use martial law as an excuse to execute all black pop towns and cities.

Dear OP since you and alot of libtards don't know how water displacement works, most of the polar ice caps are already displacing the water it is sitting on, like ice in a glass so when it melts it will not move the sea level dipshit

This guy understands

This is true to an extent.
There are ports that are over 1000 years old, in the same place they were, and we've had radically different ice caps in that time period.

The theoretical issue of rising seas is the thought that 100% of polar ice would melt, some of which is on land above sea, not floating.

But we have not been able to accurately predict ice growth or melt ever, in 2010 we thought by 2013 there would be none left, yet we set record numbers in 2014.

The fact of the matter is 98% of climate scientists agree that the climate is changing, that doesn't mean that they agree there is a dooms day scenario, that doesn't mean they agree about mans effect on climate.
Every year wild predictions are proven wrong. We simply don't have any idea what the climate change will do, and we certainly have no idea what mans effect on the climate is. But considering we say it would take thousands of years to begin teraforming mars, I don't see why we say it'll take a few years to destroy the earth.

doesn't matter what anyone wants, the ice caps aren't going to melt without re-freezing on the other side

Except a good chunk of that ice is on land and not already displacing water.

Greenland alone would raise oceans 7 meters if its ice melted.

Learn to science.

pls don't
dutchfag btw

this makes me rock fucking hard

>Dear OP since you and alot of libtards don't know how water displacement works,
You don't seem to either, which makes your post just that much more laughable.
You have confused mass with volume.
The ice has a greater volume for the same mass. That's why it floats. But when it melts it will contribute more volume, hence the water level rise.
When your floating ice cubes melt the level in the glass rises.

...

there's ice on land
antarctica is a continent you retard

wrong

waterworld

dubs


that's seawater

dubs

more seawater

If humanity ceased all emissions by tomorrow, the global warming still wouldn't stop.
The insane amounts of methane in the frozen syberian wastes started to thaw.
Now it's a self-impulsing process.
All you can do is sit back and watch.

>about mans effect on climate.


sneaky, trying to slip that bit of BS into what is otherwise good science

and obviously you'd don't know what an isotope is

>2017
>believing that some ice melting on the other side of the world can pose an actual danger to anyone
Did you forget that the planet is like 70% water? The melted ice will just become a part of the world's water mass.

>Greenland alone would raise oceans 7 meters if its ice melted.
Don't buy propoganda you idiot.

The worlds oceans are 361,900,000 square miles.
Green land is 836,300 square miles
Ice is 93% the density of water, so for greenland to raise the ocean by 1 foot, it needs to have ice 465.31 feet thick over 100% of the continent.
There are 22.96 feet in 7 meters,
So for greenland to raise the ocean by 7 meters greenland needs to be covered 100% by ice 10683.51 feet thick.
That's 2.02 mile thick ice.
The thickest ice in greenland is around that thick, but that's only a relatively tiny section of it. Using bad maths to scare people is dumb.
Greenland doesn't have anywhere near that much water on it.
