Are you suggesting that ice melting in the Arctic has no effect on the entire ocean ?So does GreenlandIt's called balance. Florida only represents one small area on the planet.One question, why here in Floor E Da, the temperature is well below normal? Just sayin...Should it be hotter everywhere since CO2 is everywhere, and if the temps go up in the southern hemi, then it should go up here also? Right?
Build a desalination plant on the coast and run a pipeline to Lake Mead .If Democrats were really that smart they would come up with a plan to get all that melted ice out here to Las Vegas' They'd move away from the coastlines too.
I like the way you're thinking but the powers to be in California aren't that bright. They have droughts every year but do you think they would invest in desalination plants? No. They're much more interested in some high speed rail that will never happen or giving illegal aliens more rights than citizens. California is richly blessed and poorly managed.Build a desalination plant on the coast and run a pipeline to Lake Mead .If Democrats were really that smart they would come up with a plan to get all that melted ice out here to Las Vegas' They'd move away from the coastlines too.

Greenland Loses Staggering Amount Of Ice In July Heat Wave
“This is not science fiction. It is the reality of climate change,” one scientist warned.
Greenland Loses Staggering Amount Of Ice In July Heat Wave | HuffPost
"...Greenland saw a staggering melt of its ice sheet in July amid an unrelenting heat wave, producing enough water to cover all of Florida by several inches, researchers said Friday.
The semi-autonomous Danish territory, which has 82% of its surface covered in ice, lost 197 billion metric tons of ice in July, Ruth Mottram, a climate scientist with the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI), tweeted Friday.
Mark Serreze, the director of the Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado, told The Associated Press that this year marks the island’s second-biggest melt area since 1981, when researchers started keeping such records. 2012 still has the record with nearly 90% of the island’s ice affected, but there’s still a month left in Greenland’s 2019 melt season.
That’s about Four times the 60-70 billion metric tons the DMI would normally expect to lose in July, Mottram added.
The melt comes as the record-setting heat wave in Europe moved over the Arctic island, forming a dome of warmth over the world’s second-largest ice sheet.
Martin Stendel, another DMI researcher, noted that the melt from Just the last Two Days of July amounts to the equivalent of nearly 5 inches of water covering the Entire state of Florida.

The reports out of Greenland coincide with news from Europe’s Copernicus Climate Change Service that July was either the globe’s hottest month on record or tied with July 2016 for that title. The group expects to have a formal report on the month’s temperature available Monday.
