no; I'm just going to dignify idiots,
like Sam "take the hits & run with Confirmerism" Warmley.
> That they're not going to dignify idiots like you.
thus:
so, here we see another verrrry interesting difference in the datums,
between Antarctica and Arctica (AnIS and GrIS) although
both icesheets appear to have only increased in heightt,
as far as we have known them.
> "Scientists have observed large increases in melting on GrIS, recently."
thus:
I don't know who my Congressman Waxman's cosponsor was,
in the Senate, but he created the very first USA (mandatory) cap-and-
trade bill in '91, to deal with acid rain; passed unanimously
in both houses!
his mandatory version of the CO2 cap-and-trade is still
sitting around, waiting for someone to propose a carbon tax,
instead. as it is, Sen. Obama's CCX and/or the later ICE
-- HQ in Atlanta, but legally bound in The City of London,
the financial district -- is big money for arbitrageurs,
as the OP seems to have garnered.
I have seen no estimate of the net cost of these voluntary schemes
to gas-hogs, although ti seems to be rapidly phasing-
out the coal-fired plants in the USA -- and
what a horrible waste of a great feedstock, they were!
thus:
there ain't no such a thing as "global" warming,
ever since some nut didn't bother to model a glasshouse,
at a particular plase, and applied the metaphor to Eaaarth,
a giant, spherical bubble -- *non sequiter*.
I know, because I read **** in *Eos*,
which occasionally mouths the party line about "global" warming.
thus:
undergrads are exposed to an endless litany
of lightconeheads, such as what's-his-name
(with the bongos). instead, use quaternions.
> You need to learn some basic physics.
thus:
the three largest icesheets
on Eaaarth continue to grow in heighth,
however incrementally that has to be,
given that they are all calving at the edges,
at various & cyclical rates (see the article
in a recent *Eos* about interpreting these surges,
and the various kinds of moraines).
thus:
GE is an adequate metaphor,
til no-one since Ahrrennius bothers to model a one,
at a lattitude, for the sake of the analogy, itself; thence,
"global" warming, which is the real nonsequiter, or
oxymoron, or mere misnomer.
thus:
I'm still blissed,
at the "finding" that T_sky is readily approximated
by the God-am water-vapors.
