Both underground and above ground. Perhaps, they should do a few a couple hundred feet below the surface to blow more in the air.

Yes they did cyclone they did a whole lot more and larger tests over the water causing if anything huge amounts of water vapor to be forced into the stratosphere... a greenhouse gas.

How long would it stay there?

No idea... anyway still waiting on a decent explanation of how nuclear testing caused global cooling.....

A trend, without aliasing, in the long run may show a true periodicity and thus, become a description of a cycle. Melting and freezing of sea ice has happened for hundred of thousands of years.

Winter sea ice in Antarctica has been growing since 1979 and that continent's temperature has been decreasing 0.1C/decade (NASA report 2001)

Tsar Bomba Largest Hydrogen Weapon Exploded Oct 30,1961



Tsar Bomba (Russian: , literally "Tsar Bomb") is the Western name for the RDS-220, which was the largest, most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. Developed by the Soviet Union, the bomb had a yield of about 50 megatons of TNT and it was codenamed Ivan by its developers.

The bomb was tested on October 30, 1961, in Novaya Zemlya, an archipelago in the Arctic Sea. The device was scaled down from its original design of 100 megatons to reduce the resulting nuclear fallout

Too much debate I guess, lol

Since measurements of Jakobshavn Isbrae were first taken in 1850, the glacier has gradually receded, finally coming to rest at a certain point for the past 5 decades. However, from 1997 to 2006, the glacier has begun to recede again, this time almost doubling in speed. As more ice moves from glaciers on land into the ocean, it raises sea levels. The ice stream's speed-up and near-doubling of ice flow from land into the ocean has increased the rate of sea level rise by about .06 millimeters (about .002 inches) per year, or roughly 4 percent of the 20th century rate of sea level increase. This animation shows the glacier's flow in 2000, along with changes in the glacier's calving front between 2001 and 2006.

This animation shows the seasonal advance and retreat of sea ice over the Arctic from 2005-2006. The false color of the sea ice, derived from the AMSR-E instrument on NASA's Aqua satellite, highlights the fissures in the sea ice by showing warmer areas of ice in a deeper blue and colder areas of sea ice in a brighter white. The yearly cycle is repeated three times while the camera circles the Arctic, providing a view of the sea ice from a wide range of viewpoints.

Most Impressive ..

Truth be told, the main reason I've been hanging around is because I enjoy calling people on their crap and seeing how they react. Lots of opportunity for that here and it has been amusing.

Yes, the truth is a good thing! Thanks, sal and glad to know the reason you're here is purely for psychological perspective and comical review. Evidently though, "truth" as you see it has little merit as evidenced in your belief that the IPCC is an unbiased, above reproach body of "true" science.

Now, that truly is comical!

Double post.

I would suspect as the ice melts away on Greenland from global warming there is less pressure on the land and could cause more magma to seep out thus compounding the problem.The pressure of this ice on the land acts like a cap keeping the magma contained. Remove the cap from the soda bottle and the eruption can occur.

Heat From Earth's Magma Contributing To Melting Of Greenland Ice
ScienceDaily (Dec. 18, 2007) %u2014 Scientists have discovered what they think may be another reason why Greenland 's ice is melting: a thin spot in Earth's crust is enabling underground magma to heat the ice.

Vortfix.....

Being and ostrich does not change reality. The cyclical nature of climate change and "global warming" is established scientific fact. To my knowledge they have not found alien space craft in Lake Vostock... but they are still looking.

It really absolutely does not matter what the cause is or what the contributing factors are, or if man-made emissions are contributing to the current PEAK event. The question is what are the likely impacts if the current trends in warming and climate change continue, accelerate, or decline.

Accleration is bad. I may doubt the impact of man made carbon emmsions from SUV's and powerplants, certainly as being the horrible godless apostacy of the green faith that they may be.... but if in fact next summer the arctic melt, the antarctic melt and the greenland melt show continuing signs of acclerated loss.... it is quite likely that the first impact of rising sea levels will be that you drown with your head stuck in that hole.

vortfix is my graph a lie?

Any Greenland melting has absolutey ZERO to do with with near-surface magma! How many times does this sort of thing have to be posted?

vortfix is my graph a lie?

No Gulf, it's actually about as accurate as anything else out there.

You just fail to notice that the last 10,000 years, CO2 has shot off the chart,
while temps have remained more or less stable.
and that temps have been higher in the past.

What I see is that CO2 continuied to climb, passed temps by a mile
while temps more or less flattened out.

Pat, air temps have very little to do with glaciers calfing.
Air would make them melt from the top.

Inorder to calf, they have to be sliding or coming loose at the bottom.
That might indicate ground temps, or something else.

I read that last night. lol
Made sense, but I dunno

GS
Could you post a link to those charts, my eyes are emeritus and can't make them out very well. Does the present date say 1960, 80, or 90? Also what is the triggering mechanism for the downward turn, does anyone know? Seems like that would be important.
Thanks
Jer

JER, lol, you know your eyes are good! Don't let sal mess with you, man!

Trigger mechanism? Look towards that big, bright looking orange thing in the sky...there you'll find answers!

LOL MLC

You would think that would be obvious, but it's not. I really can not read what it says at the bottom for present day it looks like 1960 to me.

JER

1950

Thanks MLC,

Actually that is what I thought. lol.
