  Scientists Warn of Rising Oceans as Antarctic Ice Melts

  by bohm in

  the collapse of large parts of the ice sheet in west antarctica appears to have begun and is almost certainly unstoppable, with global warming accelerating the pace of the disintegration, two groups of scientists reported monday.. the finding, which had been feared by some scientists for decades, means that a rise in global sea level of at least 10 feet may now be inevitable.

  the rise may continue to be relatively slow for at least the next century or so, the scientists said, but sometime after that it will probably speed up so sharply as to become a crisis.. this is really happening, said thomas p. wagner, who runs nasas programs on polar ice and helped oversee some of the research.

  theres nothing to stop it now.

  I have no more credentials than any of you who are so sure Global warming is human caused

  "Don't underestimate the other guy" is always good advice.

  I simply do not agree with your "Chicken Little the sky is falling" and humans are to blame opinions.

  Can you separately define 'fact' and 'opinion' please?

  every time i submit the following update to wikipeda - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/kingdom_hall#funding - some poor deluded individual/s keeps deleting.. i wonder who it could be?????????.

  "as of may 2014, the funding of kingdom hall construction around the world has changed, as per the instructions of the governing body's letter to all congregations, downloadable from this link - http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/279067/1/2014-03-29-boe-confidentials-pdf-adjustment-to-financing-kingdom-hall-and-assembly-hall-construction-worldwide.

  kind of tricky for the JW's to get recognition in Egypt when their name indicates a desire to make a noisy defence about the chief god of Egypts's arch enemy!!

  when Bronze Age sensibilities collide - LOL.

  I don't think society in general has figured out where to draw the line for freedom of religion

  IMHO its a form of child abuse to raise kids in high control groups like JW's etc - but what can be done without impinging on the more benign religions?

  Step 1 is the stringent application of a strong public benefit test with charitable status set with a higher barrier

  Government moves slowly but surely - 30 years ago JW kids in the UK were dieing over the blood issue - that simply doesnt happen anymore - so i figure maybe we are due for another step change - perhaps in how society perceives religious shunning

  I am shunned because I am black gay ex-JW - its not OK, but thats where we are right now.

  Shark Evolution

  http://descrier.co.uk/science/fossil-discovery-shows-model-evolution-sharks/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=fossil-discovery-shows-model-evolution-sharks.

  i used to consider sharks to be evidence for creation - and against evolution because it was stated that they are largely unchanged after millions of years ( hence, 'what evolution?')..

  that's not the case, however.
