🇬🇧HAPPY BREXIT DAY 🇬���
5 years ago today @Nigel_Farage and I organised a small party for 100,000 friends in Parliament Sq
Quite a night had by all 😎💥
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.
You either don’t understand how farming works, or you’re choosing to be obtuse. They’re not inheriting 11.4m “quid,” they’re inheriting assets. Assets that are necessary to farm, so they can lead stressful lives, operating on tiny margins, to feed imbecilic ingrates like you.
Listen up Jakey boy…
@jakepaul I’m 11 years retired, not done a round of boxing for over a decade, I’m old, grey, and out of shape. But, I’d still give your missus the best night of her life!
I bet she dreams about a real man 💪🏼
Let me know if you still want your cars washing, she can let me in through The Back Door.
PS, I’d knock you out in 30seconds, you are USELESS 🤡😂
@HORISracing @jr_fundss He could have walked out in a full Manchester United kit and nobody would have know who he was. He needs to be dropped down a peg or two.
My son, who is 16, will be sentenced on the 3rd of December for the Southport riots. It is his first offence. His sister was groomed raped and beaten at 12 in Southport, she killed herself after being failed by Merseyside police sefton council stanley High School and CAMHS. Her inquest starts 13th January. Her brother is going to prison.
@RichardHanania It can’t work like that. The population of the US is not proportionate to the sates. It needs to be a fair (as much as possible ) for all voters. The popular vote would be won by the metropolitan areas.
Although there is a chance that #Trump might win the popular vote this time.
