Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC: Buy your Dream Ferrari Now before it's too late

A couple of comments:

1.  I was on an Alaskan cruise a year or so ago.  One afternoon at
sea a scientist who specialized in glaciers gave a talk, complete with
slides, etc.  She commented that one glacier had retreated *10 miles*,
and that it was due to global warming.  But here's the best part:  The
not-so-liberal scientist said that most of the melting of this glacier occured
in the early 1800's, and she said that she, "doubts that this was caused
by SUV's".  LOL.

2.  Ocean rising is largely a fallacy.  Consider:  When water freezes,
it expands about 10%, and thus floats.  If you take 100ml of water and
freeze it, you now have 110ml of ice.  Put that ice in 900ml of water.
You now have 1010ml in volume, with 10ml of that above the surface
of the rest of the water.  The volume below surface level is 1000ml.
Let the ice melt.  That 110ml of ice becomes 100ml of water.  You
have, drum roll please, 1000ml of water below the surface leve.  So
the water level doesn't change.  What throws a monkey wrench into
the works as far as ocean levels is *if* significant amounts of ice resting
on land were to melt.  But the Northern ice cap will have minimal
effect on ocean level.
