Serious question, and to make it legit for the subject matter—dry erase boards emit 300 tonnes of, uh, carbon tax credits into the atmosphere per uh, quarter. How does that make you feel, polluting for profit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypothesis: If the glaciers melt they will raise sea levels. I know it will be incredibly gradual when it occurs but still they will rise over time. How does that impact rivers that flow into these raised oceans? Won't rivers need to rise too to be at the same level in order to flow as they do today? If so, does that mean that Lake Ontario will accumulate water gradually in order to keep flowing out the St Lawrence? Above the Falls, the Great Lakes wouldn't see any changes, right? Might other rivers deepen or even form lakes, or no ? What do the deep thinkers here think? My wife asked that same question over the weekend.

There is a show that I watched on Hulu, forget what original channel it was on, this guy goes exploring and treasure hunting etc. He went to that place and went diving there, he was hoping for it to be an old ancient city, but came to the same conclusion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in Mich Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Anyone see this new PBS Nova episode - 'Polar Extremes' ? I thought it was pretty informative. It is nearly 2 hours but before blowing it off for that reason, start it and see. https://www.thirteen.org/programs/nova/polar-extremes-mfaum5/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
