Source: Earth's Changing Gravity

We have more data than understanding. Knowing that ice melting tens of thousands of years ago is affecting global warming kind of puts in perspective so called "man-made" global warming.

From the source quoted above:

Even glaciers that melted long ago affect sea level today. For instance, a large mass of ice covered the Hudson Bay area during the last Ice Age, which ended around 15,000 years ago. Now, without the weight of glaciers, the land beneath that area is slowly rebounding at a rate of about 1 centimeter (0.3 inch) per year. Over time, this postglacial rebound affects regional coastlines, complicating tide gauge readings and making it harder to monitor changes in global sea level. GRACE data will allow scientists to measure the change that can be attributed to postglacial rebound, making it easier to determine how much other factors -- such as global warming -- contribute to rising sea levels.

In my own words, the sea levels today are being affected by gravity changes that may have happened 15,000 years ago. Man-made global warming is a simplification of more complex scientific processes that are not fully understood.

In 1980 I was in Houston and scientist said Galveston would be a least a foot under water in 20 years. They certainly missed the mark.

I think if they have a hard time with 20 years I am not going to believe them about 15.000 years

That's surprising, since the consensus of climatologists was that we wouldn't see much flooding until the end of this century.    Do you have a name or a link?

The meeting at Woods Hole gathered together about 10 distinguished climate scientists, who also sought advice from other scientists from across the world. The group was led by Jule Charney from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, one of the most respected atmospheric scientists of the 20th century.

The Report lays out clearly what was known about the likely effects of increasing carbon dioxide on the climate, as well as the uncertainties. The main conclusion of the Report was direct:

We estimate the most probable warming for a doubling of CO₂ to be near 3°C with a probable error of 1.5°C.

In the 40 years since their meeting, the annual average CO₂ concentration in the atmosphere, as measured at Mauna Loa in Hawaii, has increased by about 21%. Over the same period, global average surface temperature has increased by about 0.66°C, almost exactly what could have been expected if a doubling of CO₂ produces about 2.5°C warming – just a bit below their best estimate. A remarkably prescient prediction.

When we looked at demographics, we found that today’s flood risk is predominantly concentrated in white, impoverished communities. Many of these are in low-lying areas directly on the coasts or Appalachian valleys at risk from heavy rainfall.

But the increase in risk as rising oceans reach farther inland during storms and high tides over the next 30 years falls disproportionately on communities with large African American populations on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Urban and rural areas from Texas to Florida to Virginia contain predominantly Black communities projected to see at least a 20% increase in flood risk over the next 30 years.

As suggested, it is more complicated than merely sea rise (which until recently was mostly due to thermal expansion of warmer water, rather than melting glaciers).

We all know how reliable the doom-and-gloom scientists have been.  Check out these glorious predictions made in the name of science.

The end of the world IS coming and it IS man-made; caused by the sins of mankind and their utter rejection of Jesus Christ as their savior and God as their Creator.  It begins with Jesus coming in the clouds to take away His own.  That is followed by seven years of tribulation in which about half of mankind is destroyed.  Then Christ will return and reign for a thousand years.

It's not global warming that is the problem; but global cooling; the coldness in the hearts of man and his refusal to obey the commandments of his God.  It is that cooling that will be responsible for the ultimate destruction of this world and the creation of a new, better world where sin is a thing of the past.  The end of this world can come at any time, but the end of YOUR world could happen today.  None of us know when our end will come; whether we are one step from the end or whether it is decades away. 

We should be good stewards of our planet as God has given us the responsibility to care for it and keep it clean.  That said, we couldn't destroy this world if we all got together and worked at it.  It doesn't belong to us.  We didn't create it.  It is the property of God almighty.  We should keep that in mind.

No, to long ago to have a link. Just like when Paul Harvey was quoting the same guys when they said white beans cause cancer and also bacon cause cancer. I read and see things on the news that always repeat predictions which is just a glorified word meaning Im guessing. I learned to ignore predictions.

In the sense that smoked meat and meat treated with nitrates has carcinogens.   This is true.   But so does a lot of other things.   Moderation works for most of us.    I think Harvey got it backwards on beans though.   Fiber in beans is useful in reducing the risk of colo-rectal cancer.    Some bean do have toxins that can be carcinogens, but few Americans eat those.   Paul Harvey was notorious for getting the story wrong on technical stuff.   I loved his "rest of the story" tales, though.

I've looked through the literature and nowhere do I see that prediction for Galveston.

Depends on who's doing it.   When James Hanson of NASA predicted the effect of CO2 on warming thirty years in advance, he got it precisely right.    Because he used data and reliable science to make that prediction.

Here's how two scientists did on predicting global temperatures.    James Hansen of NASA and "climate skeptic" Dr. Richard Linzen:

I'd say that Hansen did a better job.   What do you think?

See above.   You got that wrong.

We can (and have) destroyed lush environments and made them unable to support human populations.    Warming will almost certainly not kill all humanity, much less destroy the world.    But it is already causing death and destruction.    And it will get worse before it gets better.

I notice that they are all opinions by scientists who opposed the consensus at the time.   For example almost all climatologists, even in the 1970s, were aware that the Earth was going to become warmer.    Your display is evidence that scientific consensus is a better indication of the future than the opinions of the minority.

Thank you.

Don't blame Harvey he was quoting the high paid guessers.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
