Now the ice cube is the Arctic, the table is earth. The Arctic is losing ice which turns into water flows down the table (earth) and forms at the bottom, Antartica, and adds to the ice already there.

These are the same geniuses that are telling us there is climate change and, more importantly, hold the purse strings where every one from the military to scientists and colleges have to plead for funds through appropriations, grants and school loans and if you don't read from the script you aint getting money. Always follow the $$$
Well between both of those activities that should raise the temp a degree - for about 3 minutes. :yes: I enjoy barbecuing more, it creates more greenhouse gases and I position it right under the ozone hole.
Fears over plastic-eating coral in Australia's Barrier Reef
Sydney (AFP) - Corals in the Great Barrier Reef are eating small plastic debris in the ocean, Australian researchers said on Tuesday, raising fears about the impact the indigestible fragments have on their health and other marine life.
The scientists found that when they placed corals from the reef into plastic-contaminated water, the marine life "ate plastic at rates only slightly lower than their normal rate of feeding on marine plankton", the study published in the journal Marine Biology said.
Translation - the so called "fears" that are being raised are really the environmentalist wackos coming to the realization that the earth has an amazing ability to adapt and adjust to whatever problems man poses to it. The bags are basically polyethylene, an ethylene resin. Ethylene is a derivative of natural gas and petroleum, ever see an oil rig in the ocean? The environmentalist wackos are fearing this finding will neutralize another scare story, plastics are dangerous for the oceans, and eliminate a whole fear industry's stream of money, billions. Like the climate change wackos they exist on promoting fear, death and destruction with false data projected as fact but in the end exposed for the fraud it is.
PACOM believes in global climate change.
Indeed, despite claims by some that global warming is a myth, there’s growing accord among analysts and military thinkers around the world that the repercussions of climate change will require the same application of strategy the military would employ when grappling with any foe. To that end, PACOM initiated a series of forums held throughout the region designed to brainstorm military-civil solutions to climate-related security issues. Pacific Command is already collaborating with several small island nations to help them cope with problems from rising sea level, such as saltwater encroachment into ground water

Business insider also has a few words on the subject.
You May Be Denying Climate Change, But The US Military Isn't
In fact, military leaders have been warning of climate change threats to national security since at least 2003. The authors of a report in 2007 told the Times the biggest change from 2007 to present was the increase in scientific certainty. (97% of climate scientists now agree climate-warming trends are very likely due to human activity).
"We have to be concerned about all of the global impacts [of climate change], including here at home, where the Defense Department does have a mission in supporting civil authorities in the event of natural disasters," Sharon Burke, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Operational Energy Plans and Programs told Defense One in May. "We have to be concerned about all of it. We have to be pragmatic about it."

Political correctness has unfortunately taken over the military too. Three years was all I could take and I had to get out. There are some great leaders in the military but it's still government and the good people have their hands tied. The VA is a perfect example. Common sense has gone out the window and I'm afraid they'll never find it again.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1, 2013 Unpredictable funding and the indiscriminate cuts being forced by sequestration are steadily eroding military readiness and threaten to leave a hollow force ill-prepared for future demands, the commander of U.S. Pacific Command told American Forces Press Service today.
The admiral said he’s particularly troubled by the long-term damage the current budgetary situation could inflict.

“Seventy percent of the bad storms that happen in the world are in the Pacific,” he said. “Call it climate change, call it the big blue rabbit, I don’t give a hoot what you call it — the military has to respond to those kinds of things.”
Unpredictable funding - Believe climate change = New appropriations,
When you hold the purse strings you get to tell people what they believe
“In the 1860s, physicist John Tyndall recognized the Earth’s natural greenhouse effect and suggested that slight changes in the atmospheric composition could bring about climatic variations. In 1896, a seminal paper by Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius first speculated that changes in the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could substantially alter the surface temperature through the greenhouse effect.”
After 1909 when R.W.Wood proved that the understanding of the greenhouse effect was in error and the ghg effect does not exist. After Niels Bohr published his work and receive a Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922. The fantasy of the greenhouse gas effect should have died in 1909 and 1922. Since then it has been shown by several physicists that the concept is a Violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Greenhouse gas hoax has been around forever
