NASA: Rising Sea Levels, Shrinking Ice Has Big Impact On Md.

BALTIMORE (WJZ)—From space to right now on the ground, NASA researchers are racing to keep up with the world’s melting ice.

WJZ’s Alex DeMetrick reports, their findings have a direct impact on Maryland.

Greenland may have ice a mile thick, but water is running, forming rivers, lakes and waterfalls.

At both north and south poles, ice is unlocking and melting into oceans, which are also warming and expanding. That combination has raised the sea level three inches in 20 years.

“Well, it’s a big deal because already we’re seeing effects from that. The biggest effect we see now is storm surge change,” said Dr. Tom Wagner, NASA scientist.

Horse crap...Everytime the whacko liberals try to check out the pole they get stuck in the ice. The truth is the ice caps are completely restored.

There is nobody talking about the trash and metal being dumped into the Oceans. Metal holds heat. Solid waste increases the higher water levels. How stupid are the people? That is science 101.

Vote the democrats out, and we will see a shift on climate change policy; a policy that is bankrupting our economy and destroying rural America!
