Ice melting across globe at accelerating rate, NASA says


Please Maude, whatever you do don't say this is related to "G-W".

Between 1.5 trillion and 2 trillion tons of ice in Greenland, Antarctica and Alaska have melted at an accelerating rate since 2003, according to NASA scientists, in the latest signs of what they say is global warming.


D'oh! Dammit! Well, that automatically turns off the ears of the thirty percent of the country that still watches Faux News and listens to Rush Limbaugh.

Might as well keep going now that the damage has already been done...

Using new satellite technology that measures changes in mass in mountain glaciers and ice sheets, NASA geophysicist Scott Luthcke concluded that the losses amounted to enough water to fill the Chesapeake Bay 21 times.



Say what!?


Twenty-one times! Wow.

"The ice tells us in a very real way how the climate is changing," said Luthcke, who will present his findings this week at the American Geophysical Union conference in San Francisco(2), California(3).


Strikes two and three for any GW deniers still reading. The guy might as well announce his findings on stage at a Phish concert with a blunt hanging out of his mouth and dreadlocks in his hair.
