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.

@RupertLowe10 My Fiancé has a Masters degree in Biology and a very good job in the US, I've had to pay £2,000 for her Visa application for her to come here and submit an unbelievable amount of documentation and evidence of our relationship. She would have been better off showing up in a dinghy

[Tom Harwood @tomhfh]

It’s absolutely outrageous that people who come here illegally on small boats receive superior healthcare to those who are born here.

Why do we give superior free* benefits to people who are only here by virtue of breaking our laws?

*taxpayer funded

This is insane.

We are witnessing a Communist coup in Britain.

A farm valued at £4 million (land, buildings and machinery) might return a profit of only 50-100k per annum. Some years, it will make a loss.

The Labour government has just announced a 20% inheritance on the value of farms, which amounts to £800,000 payable (on a £4M farm) after the death of the farmer.

His children will be unable to pay this astronomical sum of money, so they will have to sell the farm. But no one will want to buy the farm because of the future inheritance tax issue.

What will happen? Friends of the government will buy it cheaply and convert it into a solar farm. After a couple of decades of useless energy production the land will be contaminated and can be re-zoned as a brownfield site and sold as building land.

The government will be very happy. Lots of politicians will become very rich. Farmers will no longer exist and the average person will be unable to buy the expensive imported food British farmers once provided cheaply.

I'm not sure people fully understand what is actually happening in England. If they did, there would be a million sturdy yeoman armed with pitchforks surrounding parliament next week.

Let's be clear about what this is: the logic implies that cultural interchange means there is no such thing as a distinct culture anywhere. But in reality, this faux-sophistication is only applied to the cultural self-identification of nations like England.
