It ain't necessarily so on sea rise : Comments

By Mike Pope, published 16/8/2016

Given the amount of new CO2 and CH4 entering the atmosphere, heat, and therefore sea level, is likely to be higher than official estimates.

East Antarctica ( not the northern Peninsula but the cold part).

The team found that over the 13-year period they studied, the warmest (Southern Hemisphere) summer was between 2012 and 2013, with a total of 37 "positive degree days", and a mean daily surface air temperature of 0.8 degrees Celsius in January.

For comparison, the 2007/2008 summer had just five positive degree days and a mean daily surface air temperature of -1.8 degrees Celsius in January.

During this 2012/2013 summer, Langhovde’s glacier surface experienced 36 percent more new lakes and surface channels overspilling than ever before.

Hi Mike Pope,

Excellent and frightening article.

You will find that this forum primarily attracts posts from those who do not understand science, and do not trust those who foresee the horrendous impacts of global warming's forcing of massive climate change.

Thank you for your excellent summary of the many dimensions of sea level rise.

To those espousing RENEWABLES as the solution. Sadly, many groups quote Dr James Hansen on the *problem* of climate change, while ignoring his stated *solution*.

He says:
1. Believing in 100% RENEWABLES is like believing in the Easter Bunny or Tooth Fairy. (Yes, he's aware of all the 'studies' that say we can, but still thinks storage is ridiculously expensive and cannot do the job).

2. The world should build 115 reactors a year*

(*Note: on a reactors-to-GDP ratio the French *already* beat this build rate back in the 70's under the Mesmer plan. 115 reactors a year should be easy for the world economy. France did it *faster* with older technology, and today's nukes can be mass produced on an assembly line. Also, GenIV breeders are coming that can eat nuclear waste and covert a 100,000 year storage problem into 1000 years of clean energy for America and 500 years for the UK with today's levels of nuclear waste).
