  1. OMG you cannot be serious!....you think they are measuring seasonal changes.....? Changes in glacier size have been measured systematically for over a century, although some early observations and records date back even further. Here's a brief timeline of how glacier measurements have evolved: 1. **Early Observations (18th and 19th Centuries)**: - The first recorded observations of glaciers date back to the 18th century, when scientists and explorers began documenting the positions of glacier termini (the ends of glaciers). - Artists and early photographers also contributed by capturing images of glaciers, which later provided a visual record for comparison. 2. **Systematic Measurements (Late 19th Century Onward)**: - Systematic measurements of glacier size and length began in the late 19th century. In 1894, the International Glacier Commission was established, marking the start of more organized and consistent glacier monitoring. - Early measurements primarily involved field surveys where researchers would measure the position of the glacier terminus relative to fixed points on the landscape. 3. **Modern Techniques (20th Century)**: - By the mid-20th century, more sophisticated techniques were developed, including aerial photography, which allowed for more accurate and widespread monitoring of glaciers. - The use of satellite imagery and remote sensing technologies, beginning in the 1970s, revolutionized glacier monitoring by enabling scientists to track changes in glacier size and volume on a global scale. 4. **Present Day**: - Today, glacier monitoring is conducted using a combination of ground-based measurements, aerial surveys, and satellite data. These methods provide detailed and comprehensive records of changes in glacier size, volume, and flow dynamics. - The data collected over the past century has been crucial for understanding the impacts of climate change, as glaciers are highly sensitive indicators of global temperature changes. In summary, systematic measurements of glacier size have been ongoing for about 130 years, with modern monitoring techniques providing increasingly detailed and accurate data.
  2. Oh I see.....X is the font of all truth and knowledge (now Musk has taken over)........I must join.
  3. 'Even if you didn't view for more than a couple of seconds, you are added as a view'. That was the trick....clever. 'They' try to give the impression there were 80 million plus all glued to their smartphones for hours, hanging on every word.....
  4. Could not agree more.....Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mussolini, Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan......names you just never forget.........555
  5. It was a very concise response to a specific question .........the comeback was a typical...... ah....but what about Hitler.....puerile.
  6. Utter b******s During the live conversation between Donald Trump and Elon Musk on X (formerly known as Twitter) on August 12, 2024, the event attracted as many as 1.3 million listeners at its peak. Despite technical issues that delayed the start of the conversation, a substantial number of people tuned in to listen to the discussion .
  7. It has nothing to do with the conversation or the question asked, which related to a country's response to covid19.......????
  8. Seriously.....just because he cross-dresses and wears makeup.......... you can't 'come out' and call him gay. You'll get barred.
  9. Parent's and how to survive them. Accidentally ended up sitting outside in beer garden in Manchester, UK. I kid you not.....there were kids.....11/12/13 years old........all boys.....sat with their parent's ....drinking beer and SMOKING. Did I go over and say anything.....?
  10. Well thanks for the compliment.........Never crossed my mind to put you on ignore and I don't have anyone on ignore.....😀
  11. 55555......I did volunteer for the Tet offensive, but as a 12 year old, English schoolboy, I was knocked back......not because of my age or nationality though......I had a really sore foot....my mum did sent a note.........we couldn't afford a crooked doctor.
  12. Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration had an estimated attendance of around 300,000 to 400,000 people, while Barack Obama’s 2009 inauguration attracted an estimated 1.8 million people. That has got to hurt.
  13. So nothing to do with massively increased security due to the 'walking tours' (MTG) of J6.....plus covid restrictions......????
  14. If that is the case I can't imagine the little cherub accidentally shot himself in the face multiple times........big question now is..... who are their father's....... and how does the 'victim's' father rank in the order of things.
  15. Two months ago he was telling Thai traders to suck it up and get their act together......it's just how trade functions.....oh dear!!!
  16. So no problem serving when asked to do so like Mr Vance?
