    Their credibility reached the point of no return a long time ago!

  2. Airframe Eng says:

    Now that we know we’re doomed, I feel better. Somehow, knowing that we will all fricassee together in the boiling cauldron is comforting. Makes we want to buy a blower for the Humvee. 🙂

  3. Baa Humbug says:

    yeah yeah yeah heard it all before, last chance this last chance that.

  4. Perry says:

    Anilly silly writer.

  5. Ralph says:

    Isn’t the world supposed to end in 2012 anyway?

    hahaha .. hahaha .. [deep breath] … hahaha … hahaha … hahaha [purple face, deep breath] …

  7. Squidly says:

    Oh yeah, heard that one before [laughter stops, red face]

  8. Squidly says:

    Somehow, this seems to contradict the term “New” in NewScientist, just say’n

    I don’t care……… not in Nova Scotia. According to the gravity theories Greenland can melt all it wants and there will be little effect on eastern Canada and the eastern- eastern US. I only have to worry about Antarctica melting,

    Besides, with 4 or five metres of rising sea level my present home, and the old family home would both be ocean front properties basking in Florida type weather. Of course we would probably experience -30 degree C warm winters. sarc off.

    More BS

    I wonder if the Greenland ice sheet tipping point is the same as the arctic sea ice tipping point? 🙁

    I’m not a glacier expert, but it seems logical that glaciers calve when some internal stress builds up to a breaking point. The thing is, that stress could be caused by tidal forces (glacier static, but external forces produce stresses that lead to calving).

    Internal stress could just as likely be produced by the glacier shrinking or the glacier growing. Are growing glaciers never, ever supposed to calve? Come on!

    wood…..

    • suyts says:

      Since observations began a century ago.

      Apparently, the wood you’re referencing wasn’t observed, in spite of it being recorded and reported.

  12. Robert Austin says:

    Does it not seem to be simple and obvious that calving glaciers = advancing glaciers?

  13. Hal says:

    So will Greenland go tits up before, or after Guam is capsized because of all the U.S. military stuff there?

  14. Jeff K says:

    A new Titanic riddle. Apparently, if calving glaciers are a recent new “warning” of climate change what, exactly, did the the Titanic hit on that fateful evening?

    • suyts says:

      Well, back then, huge floating chunks of ice naturally occurred in the water. It wasn’t until man and his floating machines killed all of the huge floating chunks of ice that glacial calving into the water started taking place………..evidently.
