OFFENSIVE POLLUTER DEFENDED

[Ext User(B0NZ0)]

China produces about 14.5% of the planet's alleged global warming
emissions and yet they make-up 25% of the world population.
Australia produces only 1.6%. and yet makes up less than 1% of the world
population. You can see who the filthy bastards are.

20 million Aussies = 1/3 of one percent of the worlds population

Kan. team helps study sea level changes

Kan. - In a cramped laboratory, graduate student Nazia Ahmed tinkers
with a radar system that will soon withstand some of the harshest
conditions on Earth. Across campus, Richard Hale is putting the final
touches on a model of an unmanned aerial vehicle that will eventually
carry Ahmed's contraption over the polar ice sheets of Greenland and
Antarctica.


"Even half a meter to 1 meter of sea level rise is a serious issue,"
said Prasad Gogineni, a professor of electrical engineering and
computer science and director of CReSIS


.. "The question right now is not whether the sea level is rising,
it's
a question of how fast and how much."


Last year, researchers discovered Antarctica's ice sheet has been
losing 36 cubic miles - or more than 5 trillion cubic feet - of ice
each year since early 2002.


NASA scientists say the total ice volume in Greenland is also
diminishing, which could have dire consequences for the 4 million
people who live in the world's polar regions.


Some scientists predict the ice sheets will disappear entirely by the
end of this century, a point driven home in former presidential
candidate Al Gore 's Oscar-winning documentary, "An Inconvenient
Truth." A portion of the film illustrates what major coastal cities
such as New York and Beijing would look like if the Greenland ice
sheet melts and sea levels rise.


CReSIS wants to find out.


To do that, CReSIS is developing new radars and sophisticated sensors
that can more accurately examine the polar ice sheets. Those radars
will be carried on experimental, long-duration unmanned aerial
vehicles and surface-based rovers that can withstand the brutal
terrain and harsh conditions of the arctics.


CReSIS is a multidisciplinary effort, encompassing researchers from
all areas of academia and several universities.


Researchers from Penn State, the University of Maine, Elizabeth City
State University, Haskell Indian Nations University and the Byrd
Polar
Research Center at Ohio State University are also working on the
project. So are scientists in Denmark, Australia and England.


The CReSIS project is funded by a $19 million grant in 2005 from the
National Science Foundation , with additional support from NASA. It's
one of three projects the United States is contributing to a two-year
study dubbed the International Polar Year.


The Polar Year, sponsored by the United Nation's World Meteorological
Organization and the International Council for Science, began March 1
and includes nearly 50,000 scientists from 63 nations. More than 220
expeditions have been planned over the next two years, and various
national exploration agencies have promised about $1.5 billion in
funding.


CReSIS plans two expeditions, one to map Greenland next year and the
other to examine Antarctica in late 2008 and early 2009.


Gogineni said the expeditionary teams will include about 20 people,
more than half of them students.


"One of the purposes of the center is to train the next generation of
scientists and engineers," Gogineni said. "We realize the importance
of developing that."

And we are doing it all for China
