Comments by "Hallands Menved" (@Hallands.) on "What's hidden under the Greenland ice sheet? | Kristin Poinar" video.
It may seem important to determine the speed of the melting process, but not really. Our estimates are good enough. The real issues are of quite another order: How do we stop deforestation, pollution of the oceans and the insupportable growth in our own numbers? The latter may be the most important issue to solve, because of the otherwise increasing need for constant increments in agricultural areas. My personal opinion is that population increase is best curbed by sharing wealth and technology. Only with modernized infrastructure and comforts does a stable decrease in population set in for good. War doesn't work well. It may decrease populations temporarily, but they seem to bounce back with a vengeance when the war ceases. Then there's diseases. But I really don't think the suffering of wars and plagues are acceptable in view of more sustainable remedies being readily available... Actually, if I'm completely honest, I believe wars to be a symptom of extremely poor leadership – and artificial diseases a deluded product of paranoid dimbulbs, sequestered from reality in secret services...
