Global Warming Causes Sea Level to Drop in Iceland

This is amusing because you don’t really get what is happening in this thread.

The OP found an instance where sea level is falling due to effects of climate change. Typically the stated effects of climate change are sea level rise.

This is perfect for you. You should sticky it, save it as a favorite in your “global warming is dumm” folder. Anytime you see an article about sea level rise, you can then provide that link and say “I thought sea level is falling” and follow it with exclamation points, eye rolls and facepalms and then balm in the self satisfaction of knowing you have defeated the global warming internet libtards once again.

 

Florida will be underwater in 5 years. You should never move here, and go back.

 

I read it, and fully understood it... It's you that does NOT understand my point. That myth about ice/snow pushing down the ground and seas level falling becasue the ice/snow melted and the land is rising is hilarious and ridiculous all at the same time.

The seas levels falling or the land rising is far more likely a result in more water being trapped AS ICE in the Antarctic, as new ice, than the articles clown-y explanation that the land is rising...

 

It’s the same thing with “The British Isles will actually get colder”. They will when Gulf Stream reroutes as one of the effects. They will love that comeback, Adair defeating the global warming Internet libtards (good phrase)

 

It’s obvious you still don’t get it.Sea levels have been steadily rising for a long time - additional snow in parts of an Arctica isn’t stopping that.

Iceland is an instance where the underlying issue, increased global temperatures, is causing a localized effect that is the exact opposite of what anyone would intuitively expect when adding more water to the oceans. If Greenland and Antarctica behave the same way the effect on sea level will be greater than simply adding to the volume of their lost snow and ice but also the displaced water from their land mass’ buoyancy.

 

Heads explode.

 

The mess that has been in the works for along time.

 

In other news Buddhist monk immolates in self in act of compassion for climate change. Burning yourself alive. We’re doomed if killing yourself is hailed as an act of compassion.

 

I’m going to take a wild guess, but I’m going to suggest that earth forces in Iceland act a lot like those on the NZ North Island, the Kamchatka peninsula, and around our beloved Yellowstone. Maybe there’s a common thread between those 4 locations, and a few more lesser examples, and some greater examples deep under the ocean floor.

 

Adding, plenty of regions are in continual uplift due to glacial melt, including where there have not been glaciers in human memory. It’s happening fast, and the glaciers just receded, if you listen to Dr. Lucy Jones, who loves to remind us that geologic time is not like human time, like when she often describes a massive Southern California earthquake as “imminent”, quite accurately, by the standards of her profession.

 

When my dad was in the Navy he tried to get stationed in a "Scandinavian" country. He got Iceland...

 

Plate tectonics? My knowledge here is limited but I think this may explain some land rising and sinking.

 

Global Warming is a fraud designed to rake money in for the criminals. They just make these stories up. Just wait for the Grand Solar Minimum (which we are now in) to really kick in. You'll be praying for global warming.

 

You know, I’m sure you’re right. All a big conspiracy.

 

see post 10.

 

We aren't in a Solar Minimum. I remember when Fever used to talk about how cold it was going to get in 2018-2020, when we actually were. That didn't happen, amazingly.
