Really? They look the same to me. You asked where the sea level rise would come from if all the ice melted, "If all of the Antarctic ice melted, sea levels around the world would rise about 61 meters (200 feet)."Quote:

That's just wrong; the only thing I take on faith where you are concerned is your dishonesty, intellectual and otherwise.
Yet another example.Quote:

I did "rail" against "people who cut-and-paste"; yes, I did, in response to idiots like you, who would prefer exclusivity on that point.
You fail to mention this, however.
You have this in common with Busyman, BTW.
Among other things.
Well, hell...what can I expect from an anti-free-speech Communist, right?

There are 3 100 000 km3 of ice on Arctic lands around the world, containing enough water to raise the global sea level by 8m. Most Arctic glaciers and ice caps have been in decline since the early 1960s, with this trend speeding up in the 1990s. In some areas, the increase in precipitation has outpaced the melting so that a small number of glaciers, especially in Scandinavia, have gained mass during some recent years.
Priceless! The sillier you're made to look, the more insulting you get.Quote:

Have you thought of a spot of maintenance, maybe a new string and a few original platitudes?
BB, check that quote, it says ARCTIC lands, that's up North, I quoted ANTARCTIC lands, that's down South.Quote:

Deal with it. :dabs:
Haha! Wrong time of month Barbie?Quote:

So I have found out where the water is going to come from. Thanks Ava.
P.S. I still find the figures incredulous but will have to accept them or go to the Antarctic and measure for myself.:lol:
Thanks to all who replied.:)
Please explain. I am not the first or only one to talk about about your CNP and what "other things"?Quote:

Some people use facts and such articles to form their own opinion. Others post someone else's opinion and adopt it.:dabs:

What of that, and what should be required apart from a statement signifying agreement with it's content?
If I do a total C & P, and adorn it with such an introduction, I mean to say that I find it's content agreeable, and that it is as well- or better-constructed than any effort of my own, not to mention the savings of effort and time.
Others do this sort of thing all the time, much more often than I do, and most often with even less accompanying commentary.
In my case, though, you seem to feel this signifies some sort of shortcoming.
BTW-
I have taken your advice and found an audience willing to entertain any felt need on my part to use the "N"-word.
If you stumble through the door by mistake, would I have to stop?
