Global Warming

Doesn't liquid expand when it freezes? Always gotta short fill the ice cube tray or it overflows when ya freeze it. Pipes split when the liquid in the freezes. Don't get me started on the mess ya have to clean up when ya accidentally freeze a stubby or tinny of the good stuff. Returning frozen liquid to it's natural fluid state should slightly shrink the volume. Heating it towards boiling temp might expand it, but we're not getting that warm just yet.

Water is the only known non-metallic substance that expands when it freezes; its density decreases and it expands approximately 9% by volume.

4 degrees C turns out to be the temperature at which liquid water has the highest density. If you heat it or cool it, it will expand. The expansion of water when you cool it to lower temperatures is unusual, since most liquids contract when they're cooled.
 
According to the Bible God made it rain for 40 days & 40 nights so maybe God will organize it to rain again for just one day & night then the oceans should raise by 20cms.

Given the average ocean depth is 3.5 km the small bit of expansion of a 1c change matters a lot when we think a 1m change would be massive.

They can pipe it into the Sahara, the Gobi, the Red Centre and anywhere else it’s a bit dry

The capability has been there for years n years, yet apart from a smidgin of fiddling at the fringes. No-one's ever bothered to get fair dinkum about it. Could cover the entire world with shrubbery n flowers but Yeah, Nah not my *smile* problem. We'd rather make kabooms n blow the *smile* out of *smile*.

Easier to make more $billions from setting up weapon factories than digging in the dirt and waiting years for a return on your investment.
Just start a war somewhere and your market looks after itself. You never run ou5 of customers either.
 
Even though this was in the USA, carbon capture and the pipelines and other infrastructure are going to become relevant issues worldwide.
Where big business and governments collude and profit is at the heart of risk to communities.
RFK Jr an ardent advocate for climate change, but highlights the risks when profit is the driving force.
Well worth watching.
