However, please Gail, do what you will with this comment. In other words, you may delete it, move it, use it as the basis for your own future article, whatever... I won't mind one bit. :)<br /><br />Now that the "warning & caveat" are out of the way, I see you, Gail, had left comments on a couple of <i>external</i> threads I've just read today(26Feb). The first was on the most recent(?) article at Real Climate. However, the comment to which I want to focus attention is the one made by <a href="http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2016/02/millennia-of-sea-level-change/#comment-643612" rel="nofollow">Hank Roberts (#37)</a>. I sincerely encourage everyone to click that link to his comment then click the link in his comment to the nature.com article by Bassis and Jacobs, "Diverse calving patterns linked to glacier geometry." (Note, that's the ONLY way I've found to gain "complimentary access" to the complete article by B&J, which I would deem a "must read.")<br /><br />Then I saw your comment on the latest(?) greenman(Peter Sinclair) interview with James Hansen in which the latter talks about the related "non-linear" dynamics of ice-shelves and glaciers. Another "must watch" for most anyone... with a couple of quibbles. First, I was a bit dismayed that Hansen didn't mention that rising sea-level will increase buoyant (aka "shear") forces on ice-shelves/tongues which will almost certainly lead to increasing rates of calving. Moreover, sea-level rise will also increase seabed water pressure which could lead to greater landward incursion of [warm-ish] water deeper (i.e., "upstream") under the ice-shelves and glaciers, adding to their acceleration of movement seaward and disintegration. colinchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16925142870563262957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-74422827777134656912016-02-21T00:29:42.663-05:002016-02-21T00:29:42.663-05:00another outstanding post, thank you. i love that ...another outstanding post, thank you. i love that quote from lao tzu. strange to live in such a constant state of cognitive dissonance: knowing that the ecosystem is imploding, living (going to work, raising two teens) as if it isn't. it's been a huge comfort actually to encounter your site (several years back) along with a couple of others. unlike most folks i interact with day to day, you're the opposite of oblivious. will check out the apocalypsi library and the madeline weld link.foglighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448777225281498137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-77379517103245493432016-02-19T23:18:21.919-05:002016-02-19T23:18:21.919-05:00off to muir woods next month to pay last respects ...off to muir woods next month to pay last respects to the redwoods, what a species we be...<br />http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/saturdayextra/an-artist-goes-in-search-of-the-oldest-living-organisms-on-earth/7168352Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
