Questions from Jr. Medical School in Mississippi (Matt Thorn)
Is the ice cap melting, if so how much per year and how do you measure it? Is it enough to affect the salinity of the ocean?
If the ice caps are floating will their melting affect the sea level? (Ice in a glass)
I understand that methane gas is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide, and that there has been a simultaneous world wide surge in methane recently. Is the South Pole representative of that?
What affect is it having, how are you measuring it, why do you think it happened?
If it was caused by man, wouldn't it have started in pollution zones and spread - not rise all over the world simultaneously?
If the south pole is losing ice and the north pole is gaining ice, is this a climate shift as opposed to global warming?
Like other weather phenomenom, is global warming cyclical?
What research is going on about global warming in the South Pole?
What advantage is there is doing research in the South Pole?
