If all the ice melted? I may end up with beach front property here in Idaho

I'm not a climatologist a while studying physics I study geology geophysics weather and climatology along with biological components to climatology. In its most simple and Fundamental Way, Bill Nye is right. But because of politicalization (made that up I think) nobody outside the scientific community wants to talk about it as a real mechanism.

He's a mechanical engineer. Not a climate scientist. Getting climate science from him is like getting golf coaching from Steven Hawking. He has his beliefs and searches for and presents only the information supporting his beliefs and denies any scientific facts he disagrees with. That doesn't make him an expert that makes him a politician. He's intelligent, opinionated, and not a scientist.

You are correct, getting information on Climate Science from anyone other than a Climate Scientist is bonkers. That said, he's not really talking climate science, he's talking about the potential impact climate change could have on the environment. If all the ice were to melt, this is what would happen... not due to climate change all the ice will melt on or about this date.

Scientific consensus: Earth's climate is warming
Most leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing the position that climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities.

Maybe it is our fault. Maybe, through our overzealous attempt to lower pollution, we've depleted the aerosol in the uppermost atmosphere. Aerosols (small particulates produced by power plants, burning carbon fuels, and naturally by volcanoes) have been scientifically proven to cool the Earth's temperature and capable of counteracting up to 2/3 of the global warming affect caused by other greenhouse gases (Bjorn Stevens, climatologist and director at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany). Global warming has seemed to get worse over the last 3 or 4 decades, since we've started cutting down on pollution.

SGT (Join to see) - I enjoyed working on horseback. There's a peace to it you don't get with any vehicle, but you do have to plan better than we do in our modern "instant gratification" society, you don't just "run to town for an ice cream", and you don't do much "in a hurry".
