--- Quote from: worker201 on  5 September 2008, 10:20 ---Haha.  Even if we were talking about the kind of global heating that would cause the oceans to dry up, the Arctic/Antarctic ice would still melt first, causing sea level to rise.

Seriously that's a partial myth.

The melting of the Artic ice will not cause the sea level to rise. Take a glass of water, put an ice cube in it and the water level will remain the same as the ice melts.

It's the greenland ice sheet, antartic ice sheet and glaciers melting that causes the sea level to rise. As the ice melts the pressure on the land underneath it is relieved causing the land to rise and the sea level as the water is displaced.

Haha I remember seeing this quote on the Fail Blog.

Worker201/Aloone_Jones: Global warming is a myth.

There has not been warming since 1998 in the data, for fuck sake, is another ten years of nothing happening going to convince you faggots anything?

If that isn't enough, well volcanos make 95% percent of the worlds carbon, and there have been periods of far higher carbon concentration (with no associated warming either) long before Industry existed.
