A Global Warming Analogy.....

Making soup this morning, I put a frozen block of homemade tomato sauce (iceberg) into my beef stock (ocean) amid the meat and veggies (fish??? and polar bears??)



The iceberg brought the ocean dangerously close to overflowing the pot (and drowning the seaside counter items).



According to the Global Warming Enthusiasts, the counter should be swimming in ocean and fish by noon.



The question - will it - or won't it prove that when the icebergs melt, the oceans will rise? Hmmmmmm



Update at Noon.......








7:50 Update - Well, Well, Well - just checked my ocean and imagine my utter surprise!!!!! to find that it has gone....





.....







DOWN!!!!!





Maybe it is like the calm before the storm, or the good before the bad....




They couldn't be WRONG, could they????





Further updates (along with photographic evidence) at noon.

Noon Update
So I cam home to find.......
Nothing - no "fish" or "polar bear" vegetables all over my counter, no "ocean" rising up and over the pot rim as the "sauce-berg" melted!
Nothing.
So - as rudimentary as my testing is, I think I have proven that - at least as far as the "oceans rising" theory goes - that it is complete and utter
BUNK!!
It will be an enjoyable supper!

Thanks David.....I just HAD to make the analogy!

Check back to see if the Fruit Fly Guy and the Failed Presidential Candidate have been stringing us along.

I have my own theories, but like any good scientist, I will keep those under wraps until the proof is in..... ha ha

Hi Donna - I think that you and Uncle Charles have more in common than a dislike for the fragrance of paper whites! He also has a theory about displacement, evaporation, icebergs and global warming.

Common Sense seems to have fallen a victim to Pseudo Science.

Anxious for noon to arrive,
