| 1404736 | 2015-07-31 00:17:00 | Here we go again, it's not my interpretation of Winston's post, it's yours trying to connect it with Archimedes Principle (an extension you called it...wrong) when it has no connection whatsoever. Just admit you are wrong and withdraw half of your statement in post #161 then I'll be happy :) Well I’m not here just to please you Terry. :) You see Winston’s post as irrelevant, and I don’t, it’s as simple as that, we beg to differ. The fact that water expands when frozen, thus increasing its volume, allowing it to float is very relevant to Archimedes Principle in my humble opinion. However, interpretations aside, I am pleased that we agree that melting Icebergs and Sea Ice won’t make a blind bit of difference to sea levels. :thumbs: |

| 1404737 | 2015-07-31 00:33:00 | Science 101, pin back your lug-oles: whether ice is less or more dense than the surrounding water, whether it floats or sinks, makes "not a blind bit of difference" as regards the application of Archimedes Principle. "Archimedes' principle indicates that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. Archimedes' principle is a law of physics fundamental to fluid mechanics." Look it up ! www.google.co.nz don't take my word for it. If it had the same density as surrounding water it would float either slightly submerged or just showing at the surface if it melted or didn't melt wouldn't make any difference to the water level as we agree. Edit: I hate pseudo science :cool: |

Excellent, we agreed all the time. That is the real point. :) |

| 1404740 | 2015-07-31 12:48:00 | You're right there BM with the atmospheric temperature not melting the ice, the melting is coming from the warmer water penetrating under the seaward side of ice sheets and glaciers and melting and expediting the downward slide of aforesaid ice sheets to the sea. hastening the collapse of the ice. I'm away from home and got a few gins in to find out the links, but i think someone of your erudite manner can find them, cheers. | Whenu (9358) | ||

Totally agree Whenu except for the erudite bit. :) So let's explore this warmer water we need, where would it come from? Well for those following this debate Google "Submarine Volcano's", or "Underwater Volcano's" and see what you think. Dare I suggest these fellows may have the grunt to warm a bit of water. ;) Some may find Googling Rumble 3 interesting also. ;) |

I'm not impressed.You typed the words "you moron" in reference to B.M. He did not. I don't care if he was behaving like one (or not). I did read the conversation to check all B.M's posts to see if he also was calling people names after I gave my warning, and did not find any. Hence you and KarameaDave got the ban for it. |

Hence you and KarameaDave got the ban for it.He did link to something about witch doctors being deported, and replied with arrogance, self righteousness, and a refusal to answer questions or accept basic factual points. If he was behaving like one (which he was), what is wrong with saying it. It's not swearing or anything like that.If I linked to a video which implied he was a moron, would that be acceptable? | Nick G (16709) | ||
| 1404744 | 2015-08-01 02:55:00 | Whenu, there was another theory put forward by yet another “Eminent Climatologist”, (which for some reason I can’t find at the moment), which claims that the faces falling off glaziers, which the (“Pagan Greens” put forward as evidence of “Global Warming”) is actually more likely to be caused by precipitation getting into crevices and expanding as it freezes, breaking the front away. Given the fact that water freezing can burst water pipes, and even crack heads on cars, I feel he may have a valid point? What’s your thoughts? |

Put some ice in with the gin and do some experiments lol to prove BM wrong once and for all. |
