Read the link above: it's all about salinity and the "great conveyor".

I think that it's just a bit of "End of Season Frustration" rearing its ugly head.


You see I'm an "I want it now, gas guzzler driving American" who's sick of all this crap. I/we, all of us major metropolitan area dwellers, have to drive straight through a most liberal college town to get to the lake. Why? Because construction of the four lane gas guzzler expressway slated to by-pass the college town was stopped. There was some "wetlands" out there and some little frog may have become unable to hop over the highway without being SMASHED. This college and another local university claimed this area for "research". In the mean time we have to drive through town and a miriad of stoplights sitting behind 1983 Volvos puffing blue smoke and sporting bumper stickers like "Kansas...as bigoted as you think".

And you now what? Since this highway project was stopped (20 years ago) research has proven that this wetland was not natural at all. It was "naturally" created in the 50's due to runoff from the expansion of the city, i.e. parking lots and storm sewers!!! So now what? Ignore the facts. The poor little frogs have claimed it for a habitat.

So what does this have to do with the weather being unseasonably warm last year and unseasonably cool this year? Not a damn thing. Do I know why? Yup, weather runs in cycles. And I'm pissed because I was "cheated" out of three or four weeks of sailing. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Wah, wah, wah! There!

On this topic alot has been mentioned on this side of the pond about the amount of pollution cheap air travel causes. Still youve got to hand it to these airlines they have great names.

I've got a big paddle to stir with!!! You uns over in the UK has got Gore to educate the gov. about global warming. He'll fly over on his private jet, burning more fuel in one trip than I will burn in a whole year (including to heat my house) and he'll say how we're destroying the environment! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Lemme at 'im...

When (if) the polar ice caps melt the ocean will rise 300ft.

Most of you in Florida will be underwater. Boston, Philly, DC, SF, NYC all under water.

Waterworld is right.

Find out how far underwater you'll be http://nmviewogc.cr.usgs.gov/viewer.htm
I'm at 188 ft above sea level

There is no such thing as global warming...it's just a FAD.

Gee, I hope not. I'm counting on the artic icecap melting so we can drill for oil and gas up there. We don't need no stinkin' polar bears anyway.

Yeah, what do they do, eat people and baby seals. So if Waterworld happens who survives??? The sailors, we don't need gas, have more intelligence than the average person, plus we would have boats!

I have a comment, I don't think the water is going to rise 300 feet, everything I have read says something like 50 or 60 feet. Where did you find that info.

Take a glass full of ice cubes and top it to the very brim with water, let the ice melt and measure how much water has spilt over the side. Hang on a minute there hasn't been a drop spilt infact the level went down slightly. Now if all the ice bergs in the world melted would we have the same effect. Answers please

Ice bergs? Yes, same effect. Run-off from glacial melt down, different effect.
