Iowa State scientist develops lab machine to study glacial sliding related to rising sea levels AMES, Iowa - Neal Iverson opened his laboratory's walk-in freezer and said the one-of-a-kind machine inside could help scientists understand how glaciers slide across their beds. And that could help researchers predict how glaciers will react to climate change and contribute to rising sea levels...

... glaciers show variable behaviour over the past hundred years. Most have retreated, some have stayed almost static, and some have a record of advance and retreat. This parallels the rest of the world, where most glaciers have been retreating since the end of the last glacial period. Many have shown alternating periods of advance and retreat.

This is the fountain at the college where I work (the blue is actually from an accidental overdose of some maintenance product.. non-toxic) and the soap is from our lovely students in celebration of our big rival basketball game

While the Right (lead by chief science wizard Rush Limbaugh) escalates its rhetoric about climate science conspiracies based on twisted interpretations of cherry-picked hacked emails, there is a fresh report that New Zealand's glaciers are continuing their meltoff. Of course, you could claim that the measurements are faked, that New Zealand wants this kind of publicity, which makes about ...

"... Cloudlands reveals itself to be far from the bleak and parsimonious monodrone of much enmired in the midden of the minimal, or draped in cartoon Dark; rather it is a subtly teeming affair of strata and substrata, of stately airs and grace attractively mottled by a mezzotint of microsound..."

Seriously, you can't make this stuff up ...

Scientists live in a lab 800 miles north of the Arctic Circle in Greenland, and wear coats and longjohns to work, in a lab 30 feet below the ice, as they drill down 1.6 miles into some of the oldest ice in the world, in the Eemian Ice Field. They find that the air deeper down has less carbon dioxide, and that the temperature that far north may have risen 20 degrees Fahrenheit in the past 20 years ...

The Coalition for Wisconsin Environmental Stewardship("CWESt") opposes the application of Wisconsin Electric Power Company ("WEPCO") for a certificate of public convenience and necessity ("CPCN") to construct a wind electric generation facility to be known as the Glacier Hills Wind Park ("Glacier Hills").
