Seems that some scientists are now saying that the ice caps in Greenland and Western Antarctica are melting at 1/2 the speed originally estimated. It seems that some of the early estimates failed to correct for a phenomenon known as glacial isostatic adjustment. This means that the earth is rising up after being pushed down by the last ice age.
Of course, no scientist alive today actually
observed the last ice age or how much the earth was pushed down by it, so we have to accept what these people tell us based on
faith scientific evidence. And we know that other ideas based on faith are unacceptable.
My question is, with these ice caps melting at 1/2 the speed earlier estimated, will Al Gore give back 1/2 of his Nobel Prize? (Of course, given the current economic conditions, maybe a certain President should give back part of his too).
