Hello Paul,

 WD>>> People are yelping about Greenland and Antarctice melting ...
 WD>>> wait until the permafrost thaws, there's a lot more water there
 WD>>> than in Greenland and Antarctice combined.

 LL>> Put some ice cubes in a glass of water.  Make sure it is filled
 LL>> to the brim.  Let the ice melt.  Did any water spill out of the
 LL>> cup after the ice melted?  None at all?  Why is that?

 PQ> Bbzzzztttt!  Fact check: the ancient ice on Greenland and Antarctica is
 PQ> above AGL/ASL.  That is to say that the melt water is coming from places
 PQ> _above_ the water in your glass.  Oops!  You then have the same problem
 PQ> that a few biblical characters had, 'oh dear, my cup runneth over'.

You mean the Eskimos are gonna drown?  Who'd a thunk it?
Eskimos, drowning in their own ice ...
