Wow! You talked to a geologist who thinks that the North Pole melting is a non issue. How convincing an argument is that?
The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has risen by one third in the last 200 years. CO2 is now at the highest level ever tested, and the Antarctic ice core record goes back 600,000 years. Half the North Polar Ice Cap has melted in the last 50 years, and the rate of melting is accelerating. Fortunately for us, Antarctica has so much land based ice, that it is much harder for rising temperatures to effect it.But now Antarctica has begun to melt. If Antarctica melts then global seal levels will rise 20 feet. Ask your geologist friend if that will be a problem.
