Answer 4

littlerobbergirl I know where you are coming from, but you can not make the man take off his coat by force.

Read Aesops fable of the Sun and Winds wager.

The Wind and the Sun were disputing which was the stronger. Suddenly they saw a traveller coming down the road, and the Sun said: "I see a way to decide our dispute. Whichever of us can cause that traveller to take off his cloak shall be regarded as the stronger. You begin." So the Sun retired behind a cloud, and the Wind began to blow as hard as it could upon the traveller. But the harder he blew the more closely did the traveller wrap his cloak round him, till at last the Wind had to give up in despair. Then the Sun came out and shone in all his glory upon the

traveller, who soon found it too hot to walk with his cloak on.

Answer 9

(French: “mill”), a nearly cylindrical, vertical shaft that extends through a glacier and is carved by meltwater from the glacier's surface. Postglacial evidence of a moulin, also called a glacial mill, is a giant kettle, or, more properly, a moulin pothole, scoured to great depth in the bedrock by the rocks and boulders transported by the falling water,

Answer 10

Glaciers are melting.  So what, they have been melting for approximately 18,000 years.  This is just the climax phase of the current interglacial period.

Answer 11

Yeah it's basically a stream of melting ice water from a glacier or ice sheet.  And yes, I am scared by the rapid speed at which the planet is warming and the slow speed at which humans are reacting.

By the way Rick, you might have noticed some key information in that article.  Like the first sentence, for starters.  I'll emphasize the key word.

"Global warming may not be the *only* thing melting Greenland."

Did you catch it?  Here's another key piece of info:

"scientists discovered a thin spot in the Earth’s crust under the northeast corner of the Greenland Ice Sheet."

The portion of the ice sheet which is melting fastest is in the south, not the northeast.
