Another knee slapper item, intended to frighten the gullible, is the “50 billion ton of ice per year” statement. A big so what! I estimate it is 11 cubic miles. You guys do the math on the equivalent sea level rise. (Hint: You can’t measure it with a ruler!)
How the hell are they measuring the melt rate in the first place? Making it up maybe?
No, I didn’t consider density differences between frozen vs. liquid water (or fresh vs. saltwater for that matter). I was simply doing an old fashioned cocktail-napkin-at-the-bar kind of calculation.
Nor did I take into account ripple effects (pun intended) of the original glacier melting upon other glaciers. I must have misread the article.
