A moulin is the name for a giant hole in a glacier in which millions
of gallons of melt water can cascade through to the rocky surface
underneath the glacier during the melt season.

Why am I bringing this up now?

It's hard enough getting to work on The Subway, filled with filth,
panhandlers, Kids with Drums, Standing room only.

If the FKUCING Glacier melts, the subways will flood, and we'll all
have to commute by Rowboat..

( Then again, the kids with drums will all drown . . )

Happy Sunday . .

Professor Robert Correll, chairman of the Arctic Climate Impact
Assessment

said that newly invented ice penetrating radar showed that the melt
water was pouring through to the bottom of the glacier creating a melt
water lake 500 metres deep causing the glacier "to float on land.
"These melt water rivers are lubricating the glacier, like applying
oil to a surface and causing it to slide into the sea. It is causing a
massive acceleration which could be catastrophic."

Correll stated that one particular glacier puts enough fresh water
into the sea in one day to provide drinking water for a city the size
of New York for a year.

Correll believes that the estimates of a 20 to 60 centimeter sea level
rise this century from the IPCC report in February had been
"conservative" and feels that it would be at the upper end of this
range at a minimum. Some scientists fear that number could be 2 metres
(200 centimeters), which would obviously have catastrophic effects for
European and U.S. coastlines.
