now..lemme go and build my own ark as the movie 2012 portrays..it was lekki and the island the oda day..now its gonna be the whole landmass called Lagos... its below sea level and any slight increase of water volume will cause catastrophic damage cum floodings... |

ednut1: Slow minded fellow. Have you ever bought a book on climate science or read more than one article on climate change for you to arrive at this conclusion? Are you the proverbial ostrich burying it's head in sand in the face of danger? |

ogocology: Come to think of it which is better: a frozen beach or a liquid beach? Think of what happens at a liquid beach- erosion or deposition occurs, whereas a frozen beach nothing happens. |

The Larsen C is a sign of much more worse things to come. Although it might not have a significant impact on sea level as it's already present in the sea, but it's main job is to protect the hundreds of thousands Sq km of land based glaciers stored on Antarctica from sliding into the ocean thereby leading to a significant increase in sea level but that's still not the biggest contributor to sea level rise. The biggest contributor to SLR is "Thermal Expansion" as climate change intensifies the sea water warms up and tries to take more space so the ocean basin expands. Lots of of big cities will be affected but funny enough, not just lagos but the Niger Delta is also at a greater risk To those who who believe it's nature, yes it's true it has happened a lot of times in the past and still tend to happen but at this rate, we make it even go much faster. And as humans we will try our best to slow it to the barest minimum or even reverse the course (perhaps the dinosaurs kept doing their thing till they got wiped off ![]() There will always be skeptics but if people had listened to them then nothing would have been invented. I wonder why most skeptics always post on websites and not accepted science research webs. So happy a lot of people are conscious of what's going on with the planet and for the thread to even reach page 8. And lastly to that Ednut guy and his Uncle Donald, the dinosaurs are patiently waiting. #climatechange #parisagreement #savetheplanet #istillwantbananaislandcondo ISOS-Future Ocean 2 Likes |

ogocology: I'll say you're wrong sir, like you said did the ice break from space? No but there's a whole continent called Antarctica normal continent oo just like Africa but has this huge ice covering it like 50-100ft tall, small small the ice dey slide into the ocean and it stores over 50% of the whole planets fresh water. Same as we have on Greenland too o. Global warming too, as the water dey warm up, the molecules they expand and dey need more space so we get high SL I appreciate the fact that you're taking climate change seriously. 1 Like |

NickD: DrayZee: The above is not true sirs and madam. The 10percent ice-berg portion above the water level will contract into the space occupied by the 90% underneath when the ice-berg melts, leading to zero change in the sea level since the ice berg is already in the sea. The basis is that when ice melts, it contracts into about 90% of the volume it initially occupied. However, contrary to what most people have been saying here, the sea-level will RISE when a one-trillion tonne ice-cap breaks into the sea, as its one-trillion tonne weight will displace a similar amount of water upwards or sidewards. The rise in sea-level is not from melting but from its original displacement into the sea. Thus, any resultant increase in the water level from this break-away should be happening gradually now and not when the ice-berg melts. 1 Like |

ThierryJay:No sir! The elevation of ice above water will add to the volume when it melts...the ice under water is what equates to the volume displaced and not those above. 1 Like |

ThierryJay:I get what you're saying in the first paragraph. It's basically the same thing we said, but like a more complete evaluation. But in the second paragraph, I need to clarify some things: Firstly, it's not the weight per se, that causes the displacement. It is the volume immersed in water that causes the displacement. So the only thing that should cause any increase in sea level, is the part of the ice above the water. Now, here, you are correct in saying that ice contracts when turning to liquid water. But, due to the addition of any more liquid to the ocean, that will cause increase in sea level. This is the only thing that should cause any increase. A break-away from a bigger ice sheet doesn't cause any change in sea level (except the break occurs from a part of the ice above the water, which is not the case in this aspect). 2 Likes |

You know there's a difference between volume and mass be? Ice is less dense.. But wen it melts... Prepare for more floods, tsunami and water related disasters... And seasons would definitely change... Soon we won't have Harmanttan again obscitas: 1 Like |
