1. let’s assume we have a warming atmosphere, and that more heat means that more glaciers melt….

2. if we assume  50% glaciers are on land and 50 % are in the ocean, then….. 

  2a. half fill a glass of water and add an ice cube, mark the water’s level….

   2b. when the ice melts, remark the level… did it change?

    2c. i did not

3. global warming enthusiasts claim a warmer ocean is one which holds less co2 (IE that warming the planet will warm the oceans which will cause them to off-gas co2 and cause more warming, need citations, just ask)

  3a. so if 50% of the glaciers are on land, and they a! ll melt, will that water not travel to the ocean and have an overall cooling effect?

   3b so in 3.0 we said that a cooler ocean absorbs more co2, so then  is not glaciers melting in response to global warming a  good thing?

4. remember that glaciers only represent 2-3% of earths total water

5. if 100% of the glacier mass is 3% of water; then 50% of glacier is 1.5% water and then: since 1.5% of the water mass wont raise the water levels  (see point 2) then at most we can only raise the sea level by 1.5% if we assume warming planet is going  to warm the glaciers and cause 100% of them to melt completely; which is absurd

6. a warming planet means hotter water which means more evaporation of more water which means more clouds which means more rain which means more snow in winter which means  more ice pack which means global warming causes glaciers to increase and since when its warmer they melt they! also have more mass with which to melt off and cool the o ceans of which means that its a self governing, cybernetic (IE non-linear) cycle, really, except when the sun is weak, in those years they grow, when the sun is active they grow.

7. more clouds (caused by hotter water) also means the earth’s surface is more white (when seen from the sun’s perspective), and white, as we all know, reflects more heat than black, which absorbs heat, so therefore, more heat means more clouds which means more heat reflected which means more cooling on the surface which acts to counter the warming.

8. so, in conclusion…. melting glaciers only raise water levels  to 1.5% above where they are now (AT MOST) and warmer oceans means more clouds which means more rain which means glaciers advance and warming planet also warms land-glaciers which melt and cool the oceans which also negates the warming trend

get it yet? gaia protects herself with feed back mechanisms.
