Hi again, Mike. 👋
Let’s go over this for what’s now a third time. Maybe it will sink in.
The Greenland ice sheet contains about 2.9 million gigatons (Gt) of ice. 🧊
Using the conversion factor that 1 Gt = 1 billion tons, this means that the ice sheet has roughly 2.9 million billion tons of ice.
Oh yes, math is involved!!
Now, if the ice sheet is losing 30 million tons of ice per hour, that would work out to 720 million tons of ice lost per day and a net 262.8 billion tons per year. 🫠
Here’s the math, 🫳
-30 million tons × 24 hr. (1 day) × 365 days (1 year) = -262.8 billion tons / year
262.8 billion tons of ice lost per year?
Oh my, that sounds scary! 😱
That is, of course, until you realize that at the current rate, it would take more than 11,035 years for the entire Greenland ice sheet to melt.
🏔️ ➡️ ⛰️ = >10 millennia
Let’s do more math to confirm this.
2.9 million billion tons / (262.8 billion tons / year) ≈ 11,035 years.
Now, what would this mean for sea level rise (SLR)? 🌊
Well, according to NASA, for every 360 Gt (or 360 billion tons) of ice lost, the global average sea level rises by about 1 millimeter (mm).

If 262.8 billion tons of ice is lost per year, that would mean sea level rises at a rate of 0.73 mm (~0.03 in) / year from loss of Greenland ice alone. 📏
Ignoring Antarctica, this would cause the global average sea level to rise about 1 ft. every ~417.5 years.
Now, the rate of ice loss could accelerate or decelerate depending on other factors (e.g., natural variability or positive / negative climate feedbacks), but it’s clear from these back of the envelope calculations that you are hyperventilating over nothing.
This is a very manageable problem.
So is your climate anxiety.
Just stop parroting WEF propaganda and go touch grass.
The great and powerful @elonmusk.
If it wasn't for him we'd be fucked. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way.
For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump.

BREAKING
The @washingtonpost has reached out to Bussin’ With The Boys requesting a comment on why we laughed at a certain remark @realDonaldTrump made during our interview
Here’s your comment
$200 billion more to Ukraine
$2,500 per month to illegal aliens
$750 to Americans who lost everything in Hurricane Helene
Imagine voting for more of this. Share so all Americans see this.
being hungover on weekends is inefficient, you should wake up early on weekends and live your life. you should only drink heavily on weeknights so you can recover from your hangovers while on the clock at work
A key point missing in a lot of post debate analysis is that Trump’s claim about immigrants eating pets almost perfectly syncs up to the piano in the Peanuts theme song.
Just a quick timeline for everyone to consider:
Biden says 20x that he’s not dropping out and that he won’t be pushed out by party elites.
He gets COVID.
Goes out of sight for a few days.
His campaign co-chair says emphatically that Joe is NOT leaving the race. Period.
A few hours later his X account posts that he IS leaving the race via a screenshot document with absolutely no proof that he’s behind it.
Joe Biden’s campaign aides and staff say that they found out via @X, not from the Biden’s.
24 hours later, Joe still hasn’t shown his face to confirm that it’s his statement but Kamala secured enough delegates to be the nominee within those 24 hours since his post.
@JoeBiden’s @X account now has a Kamala ad as his profile header, their campaign HQ has been redone to eliminate Biden name.
Kamala holds a small event where she begins to say that he’s on a "recor…." Then says "phone" and we hear a strange back and forth that feels totally unnatural. All of this is via phone like we’re living in the 1940’s glued to the radio for news. No visual is shown of him.
All of this occurs with no proof that it’s Joe.
Maybe he did this but even if he did, this is BIZARRE and yet the media is pretending it’s normal.
None of this is normal. Thank God we have @X so they can’t control this entire narrative. Eventually all of it will fall apart. Watch.
