Ice floes trap beluga whales in Bering Sea

"A group of over 100 beluga whales are cut off from the sea and are prisoners of ice floes in the Bering Sea," the Chukot-ka region said, saying local Gov. Roman Kopin had requested an icebreaker.

Now, more than ever, all the people that value their freedom need to stick together. Whistleblowers and radio personalities need blogger back up, big bloggers need small bloggers, every blogger needs commenter and emailer support, with letters to editors and friends. Every link in the chain helps. The establishment need to know that we will not be intimidated, there are many of us, and the more they push, the more we will tell the world.

Confirmation Bias From Team Butthead | Real Science

This guy thinks he is seeing an instantaneous local response to a small change in the height of the snow surface in Greenland. Glacial rebound is an extremely slow phenomenon, because the mantle is extremely viscous. The ice age ended 15,000 years ago, and we are still seeing 10mm of elevation increase per year in parts of northern Europe.

If Bevis and Butthead think their theory is correct, they should also be able to detect a drop in elevation every time it rains in Lubbock, Texas – because the land gets heavier. Maybe they should go work with Katherine on this.
