" ...even if you grant for the sake of argument the Warmist claim that the earth's atmosphere will go up a full five degrees Centigrade in temperature, Al Gore's claim that ocean levels will rise 20 feet thanks to global warming seems to ignore the laws of thermodynamics." The article suggests it may take 100 to 3000 years to achieve the 20 foot claim. And that means that there would not be any cooling cycles in the interim. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of Kristyne McDaniel > Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2008 8:18 PM > To: 'ProFox Email List' > Subject: RE: [OT] Where could this water come from? > > Madigan, > > > The only way melting ice can increase the sea levels > > is if that ice sits on land. > > Exactly.
