Someone should build a giant boat large enough to fit both males and females of every animal species on the planet.

You'll get nothing but ignorant dipshits trying their best to refute anthropogenic induced warming based on nothing other than their beliefs. Never mind the facts.

So, oceans are rising more than a millimeter a year, and this ice sheet COULD disappear in 1000 years. Seems to be a touch early to panic. Somebody get back to me in 500 years with an update so I will know if I need to get prepared.

Since when did "could" and guessing about the future have anything to do with facts.

The Earth has been WARMING for over 200 years. Easily provable with minimal research.

Ironically in the ancient Sumerian (first human civilization) creation story, their version of the flood event that most ancient cultures and religions have a version of, the flood was the result of a giant ice sheet breaking off Antarctica and into the ocean.

Pretty crazy how much the Sumerians knew about our planet and our solar system.

This is actually the indirect solution: start talking about Noah in front of the same scientists and you’ll be assured that a global flood is impossible.

I’m gonna need a link showing the Sumerians’ knowledge of Antarctica and ice sheets.

So are you saying the Sumerians were oil burning polluting SOBs, and there were WAY more of them then thought? Perhaps they were aliens that got kicked off their plant for being "oil/car execs" of their plant, and their customers that were exiled for being heavy polluters??

Facts? What facts? Please, share these “facts” with us so we can all be as smart as you.

Global warming is cyclical, who doesn't know this by now?

"The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consul Ifft, at Bergen, Norway.
Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, he declared, all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met with as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm.
Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts, which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds."

There have been no facts posted here. "Could" isn't a fact.

If the ice is on a continent and then enters the ocean, it would cause the ocean to rise. So if your glass was full of water, and put ice in it, it would spill over. I hope you don't think Antarctica is a floating ice cube, but rather a continent that is covered in a massive amount of ice.

When did people's politics or feelings become more important than science? I'm sure you would dismiss the anti-vaxers, flat earthers, BLM, etc. as someone's feelings and politics trumping overwhelming evidence to a contrary conclusion. Why do this with overwhelming global warming evidence? This isn't and shouldn't be a political issue.
