Yes, yes I can Trump is a waste of government funding. It cost more to protect his family than any other presidential family, he is now on his 17th golf weekend and these investigations will cost millions . . . and his wages.

It wouldn't cost that much if the DEMOCRAT'S hadn't literally put a hit out on him......

The Larsen C ice shelf collapse hammers home the reality of climate change
Very soon, a large portion of an ice shelf in Antarctica will break off and collapse into the ocean. The name of the ice shelf is Larsen C; it is a major extension from of the West Antarctic ice sheet, and its health has implications for other ice in the region, and sea levels globally. ......

Why is the ice shelf going to break off and collapse into the ocean? Since large calving events are so rare, and since our measurements in and around ice shelves don’t go back in time far enough, it’s hard to say whether this is a natural progression, variability, or a result of human activity (or more likely a mixture). A major reason may be human-caused warming, which has led to melting from both above and below in nearby areas. The Western Antarctic (the parts south of the U.S.) is warming quite quickly, faster than most of the planet. In addition, warmer waters can reach underneath the ice shelf and can melt it from below. ....

I’ve heard from multiple differing views on this very topic while preparing this post. From my research and experience in climate science as well as in many other areas of research where risk analysis and evidence are weighed, we should assume that human-caused warming is having an effect. In fact, is has to be having some effect. We can measure the incredible amount of heat that is being stored in the oceans as well as the increase in temperatures that have occurred over the Western Antarctica and changes to the ocean currents in the region – there must be some implications to the health of the ice. The real question, in my mind, is how much of the effect is humans? That is something a lot more research will be required for answering. ....

I'm trying to figure out your point in posting this? Unless you're coming over to the human-caused warming is having an effect side of the issue...

He is highlighting the fact that we don't know exactly how much mankind's activities are affecting our environment. At least it's not outright denial.

So you are telling T what Lion is thinking? You don't even know what you are trying to say most of the time, Shitface.

If I posted it to cause you confusion, I'd have succeeded.
But it was simply to share something interesting, to ponder over and to perhaps discuss like adults.
Apparently that was to much to ask.
