28 people have visited the Thwaites glacier.

Wow. A real tourist destination. Did they stay long?

And it will take concerted action over decades to reverse AGW.

I am optimistic that we will wake up to the danger and manage to avoid the worst consequences. The sooner we (the politcians especially) wake up the surer, sooner and cheaper the reversal will be.

The last interglacial? How long will this interglacial last?

As against June 2017. You have heard that science never stands still? Wink

And then of course your customary exaggeration about 2feet to 1metre.

All fake conservatives are tryhard wedge politicians: but they don't know the game Cheesy

That's why they are called blue bloods!

That got posted by Lees back a bit in this thread.

Despite posting the above diagram Lees obviously didn’t look at it closely.

I invite him to do so now.

As increasing GHGs in the atmosphere block more and more infrared photons from leaving the planet we expect the globe to continue warming. No other conclusion is possible.

AGW is about to kick our arse hard before long.

Sensible people would advocate tree planting, faster changing to renewable and nuclear power etc. Doesn’t seem to be too many sensible people around. Mostly cowards avoiding the issue.

On another completely unrelated subject, bit of fun:

5! = 120

And another:

Sometimes 1 + 2 ≠ 2 + 1

Comments?

Move on Monk stop wasting time with your weird view of physics.

We are now at post 269
Lee posted that diagram at 115.... the debate has moved on.
You retreat to such things because you think you scored a point back there. nah!
So reverting back over 10 pages and 154 posts is ridiculous to anyone else but you. I think you didn't read anything he said back then. But hey, that is par for the course with you.

Now we are discussing other things... get on board or go away no one wants to go back to arguments ended 154 posts ago.
Talk about going round and round in circles. Cheesy
