NASA: Al Gore, It's The Sun Stupid!

Quote from Tresor:

You are very very wrong. The cube factor was wrong by a factor of exactly 1000 (not eight), which means that on three sides (not both) the miscalculation was by a factor of 10 (10x10x10 = 1,000), not by a factor of two.

Moron Go back to elementary school.

Now that's a hilarious defense: "I was wrong by a factor of 1000, not eight, so others are stupid!"

You keep calculating on that one and you let us know when you get, as you wrote, the "basic math calculations of a 10 year old child" correct after you "go back to school."

(I'll give you a hint: you're still wrong.)

Quote from bigdavediode:

This just in: Greenland is not a desert. The antarctic is a desert. That means, unlike your bizarre example of Greenland, the antarctic receives little precipitation.

The water cycle is not a static process and is not limited only to Greenland. Were you sleeping at school?

This was an error of '000, which happens. What shouldn't happen is a person who say that a cube has two dimensions.

A cube has three dimensions; that's why we say ''cubic metres / yards''.

A square has two dimensions, that's why we say ''square metres / yards''.

Okay, let me help you with this:

The antarctic is on land.

Ice sheets slough off from the ice shelf in the antarctic.

That's it. They raise the sea level. They don't need to melt to displace water, and they don't need to evaporate as part of the "water cycle."

And if they do evaporate, they still raise the sea level because rain also falls at sea.

Did one of the voices in your head say this?

This is the part of the water cycle you do not understand. The ice sheet in the antarctic is from precipitation.

Yes, built up over thousands of years. Dump thousands of years worth of water into the oceans and watch them RISE.

Now we agreed on something. Do you think the precipitation was due to high or low humidity?

It doesn't matter.

Let me rephrase the question. Do precipitations happen more often when there is high humidity (e.g. RAIN FORREST) or when there is low humidity (e.g. DESERT)?

That's not rephrasing the question, that's a different question.

You keep asking these odd, open ended questions. It's a cause and effect question. Precipitation causes humidity, but does ground level humidity cause precipitation? I have no idea.

But I am dying to hear your explanation, though. I hope it involves Greenland.
