This is about 50 yards from my house and a Chinook helicopter has been lifting equipment to the repair site. The water supply for the city of Columbia is dependent upon the integrity of the canal. The street in front of my house has been a staging area for welding 50' I-beams (3 together) for the repair.

Re: The Global Warming thread.
Is "floating carpets of fire ants" part of "God smiled on South Carolina," Nikki? Or how would you characterize that event?

Given a choice, JTA and Doc excluded, I'd generally take the ants. Not that there aren''t some really nice people in SC, but it seems they never get elected to anything.Vrede too wrote:It's also infested with South Carolinians.

Yup. There was a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth - and a lot of sarcastic fake covers - over this last month.Vrede too wrote:Climate change denier Rupert Murdoch just bought National Geographic.

Oops.... But it might only take a few decades for Antarctica's growth to reverse, according to Zwally. "If the losses of the Antarctic Peninsula and parts of West Antarctica continue to increase at the same rate they've been increasing for the last two decades, the losses will catch up with the long-term gain in East Antarctica in 20 or 30 years - I don't think there will be enough snowfall increase to offset these losses." ...
"The good news is that Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level rise, but is taking 0.23 millimeters per year away," Zwally said. "But this is also bad news. If the 0.27 millimeters per year of sea level rise attributed to Antarctica in the IPCC report is not really coming from Antarctica, there must be some other contribution to sea level rise that is not accounted for." ...

Collapsing Greenland glacier could raise sea levels by half a metre, say scientists
Huge Zachariae Isstrom glacier has begun to break up, starting a rapid retreat that could continue to raise sea levels for decades to come
Absurdly hot October as Earth sets 8th heat record this year
The French government has cancelled the planned massive march and rally slated for the upcoming December UN "COP21" climate conference. It could be entirely understandable security concerns, or . . .
