SAL THE FLAW IN THE MATH IS THAT IT DOES NOT REFLECT THE REAL SYSTEM!

What is wrong with you?

Now you have to speechify some more like you’ve won some debate when you actually aren’t even smart enough to understand the very, very basic point that a straight line has a constant slope?

The rate of melt is increasing.

This is observed in each and every paper that you have seen - even your Bristol paper, and the fact is that even the Bristol paper acknowledges that the increasing rate may increase more than they assert.

There are many other papers that talk about how Greenland and the Arctic are going much more quickly than IPCC or your Bristol paper asserts.

There are direct measurements.

Why is it so impossible for you to just put this together? Doe sit take a sledgehammer to get through to you that the math you are arguing is not the math that applies?

NO study predicts that the ice cap melt rate will multiply by anywhere remotely near 50 fold in the next hundred years in response to a 7 degree C increase in temperature. But mathematically, that’s what would HAVE to happen for the ice caps to totally melt and the sea levels to rise 10 meters in the next century. And the sea level has never in the past 22000 years risen to a level 10 meters higher than it is now when the global temp was 7 degrees C warmer than at present, as it has been several times in that timespan. Which is why it won’t - in fact can’t - happen this time, either. In fact, it has never risen more than a meter higher than it is now in response to a 7 degree C temperature increase.

Why are you incapable of understanding this?

Or is it just that you don’t want to?
