hi yall,
I'm not going to cite anything, but the idea of any liquid pulling anything in any way, shape, or form is misleading. the only forces of nature that i'm aware of only push. point in case, using a straw to drink with. one doesn't actually suck the drink up against gravity, one lowers the pressure and atmospheric pressure pushes it up thru the straw to your mouth.
the same forces are at work in Fram export. Higher pressure from physical forces caused and transferred by collisions between floes does create pressure in a particular direction, add to this tide and local wind and there is a perfect storm for export. a significant amount, imho, of the CAB just got spit out via the Fram and to a lesser, but not insignificant, volume of older ice into the Barents Sea.
Until one recognizes the actual causality to an event, understanding is unlikely
Sometimes events are hidden because of the fear of being the one called out with chants of "prove it"
Sometimes events aren't recognized because of the chatter drowns out the data.
Sometimes one can be wrong, but i fail to see such incorrect examples except in my bell-ringing, uncited, wake-up approach and what i feel is a more detrimental approach as that displayed by binntho which celebrates misdirection and denial.
peace and excuse the lack of capitalization, but today, the 7th, is my birthday and i've been celebrating all day. don't worry, i quit drinking a long time back when i began to have children. so, what i type is thought out, even if possibly incorrect. in other words, for at least the next 24 hrs, i will listen to anyone but care less
