Antarctica Ice Sheet gains mass, lowering sea level by .23mm per year.

Natural forces are incapable of countering anthropogenic forcings this time.

Natural forces can and will balance out anthropogenic factors on the atmosphere, Earth is not on a one way trip to being the next Venus.

Six pages, and no one felt the need to ask the only obvious question this brings, "We know that the water lines are rising, we always thought it was because of ice melting in the north pole region. This does not seem to be the case, now the question, where is all this water coming from??". This study has allot of other implications, but this one is the one that sticks out the most.

Seeing how they accounted for things as the warming of the water having more volume and other usual suspects have been accounted for too. Now there are a few possibilities, tectonic shifts is one of them, or the emptying of the aquafeurs (large deposits of fresh water).

it isn't archaic. deal with it.

Yes, it is. The US, Bahamas, Belize, the Cayman Islands, Palauare the only ones that use it, and it makes no sense. Celsius is much more efficient. Efficiency will always win.

or....or....no...come make us big guy.

Oh god. The tough guy routine. Nobody is going to make anyone do anything. It just shows how much of a broken system we have for measurement.

According to Global Dimming, which is not people growing dumber but instead the added humidity in our atmosphere reflecting more light and actually causing a cooling effect, not only is global warming a lie but a shift towards freezing is much more likely.

This having been said, its too bad global warming isn't real, cuz then we'd have a surefire way to destroy those new land developments being made in the chin a sea, just by effortlessly doing what we're already doing.

Woah buddy, put the crack pipe down.

Woah buddy, put the crack pipe down.

Try forming an actual argument instead of blanket insultation. There are indeed negative feedback factors that can promote a cooling effect, even in places where it may appear counter-intuitive.

I dont think people fully realize just how minute the temperature difference is when we are talking about Global Warming.
Some places are absolutely still getting colder, but on average, the MASSIVE FUCKING SPHERE we live on is going up by less than a quarter of a degrees every few decades.

If your body temperature were to go up by 5% you would be in the emergency room. Our planet is becoming very sick if you don't believe that, its because you are willfully ignorant.

No the planet is not becoming very sick, it is natural for less adaptable life forms to die off after paradigm changes.

[Garnier Fructis]

Saying that the planet is sick is bad simply because we shouldn't use language that anthropomorphizes nature. Because somewhere on Earth there really is a doofus who will think that nature has conscious thought or that it feels (or in this case, suffers) like we do.

I left out construction because they do use imperial, actually in most countries they still do. Construction work does not require much in term of precision. Engineer its highly dependant on what they are working for/on.

For engineering you most likely get them in one form or another in an non-scaled binary format or an analog signal, something like mV/V, 0.5 Nm/V, etc. Most will then do some calculations under the hood in the format that is easiest to comprehend, for the most part usually SI-units and then proceed to display them by a final conversion in the HMI.

Well I guess it depends on where you get your tech from. I have to admit I never had to buy sensors or measurement equipment that supplied me with imperial scaled data, but I had to write quite a few conversion routines to make sure that Bob doesn't fuck up his little screw too bad .
