Good improvised navigational tips Smile But what does it have to do with bizarre magic?

Dear Senor Fabuloso,
Imagine the creativity that solved theses navigational solutions. Very sharp minds.
How about giving me some slack. I would also appreciate you creating a pm address.
There is something I would like to discuss with you in private. Nice to hear
from you.
Sincerely,
miistermagico

Miistermagico I sent you a pm now you can respond and we can talk. I wasn't on your case, as any survival instructions are welcome to me Smile I just don't see the connection with bizarre magic?

Dear Senor Fabuloso,
This thread, "Instead of Crack Pots here is some Real Science"
is meant to distinguish Real Science from the bizarre junk proposed
by Crack Pots in parapsychology, a comparison of reality to fantasy.
Here is another flight of fantasy from Crack Pots:
Thoughtography of Ted Serios with Stephen E. Braude

Got you. You might have stimulated more interest and comments in the "Not Very Magical Still" forum?

Interesting about supposed oceans riding, supposedly due to glaciers melting. Simple suggested science experiment. Fill a glass 34 full of ice cubes. Then fill the glass with water right up to the rim, but not overflowing. Now just let the ice fully melt.Then see if the water "rises" and overflows the glass!? You see, it's a thing called volume ( taken up by the ice cubes). So the volume of the glaciers is the same idea. Melt and no way they cause the ocean to rise!!

Definitely interested to hear what the global alarmists think about this?


Ron/Landmark, are you there? Why is this?

Flawed premise. Start with a glass full of water to the brim but not overflowing. Now suspend a bag of ice cubes above the glass and make a few holes in the bag. Now look as the melting ice over flows, the glass of water. That is what climate change experts are saying.

Well yes if you go someplace else and get water to pour in it would rise. But aren’t the glaciers already in the water
Are is it in the sky? And even if it is in the sky over the ocean, guess where it came from.Smile

Originally, it's thought to have come form comets and asteroids after the big bang. The bible contractions the scientific account. God spoke water into being. In context, I think your asking about the cycle of how water from the sea evaporates into the atmosphere causing clouds to form and is returned, to the earth in the form of rain. I'm not sure if what your contending (if I understand you?) is that there is a amount of water both on the planet and in the atmosphere, that remains constant? If that is so then indeed, ice melt wouldn't change anything.

That's it.

I like that Smile

The scientist would call it "Occam's Razor". I'm not sure if that covers everything though?

Okay, I'll bite.

Just like with the ice cubes, most of a floating glacier's volume is underwater. So if only the volume that's underwater melts, the level won't change.

The problem is that so many glaciers have a heckuva lot of ice above the water. Some of them are hundreds of feet thick and cover hundreds of square miles, or much more. Only takes a couple of minutes looking at photos online to see them.

Now, how much would the sea level rise? I don't have a clue, but all that melted ice would have to go somewhere.

George the premise assumes, that between the water on the planet and in the atmosphere, the volume stays the same.
