If the climate experts are right, we might soon have far too much water from icebergs to deal with...
The Polar Bears have been sadly dealing with this for some time now. It's taking them weeks longer to get back on the ice.
Then scan and save on the HDD or whatever digital medium you use. I do that at times, when the liner notes are worth the while.
Ah, yes. It is the glaciers and non-floating polar ice we need to worry about (especially as I live 2.5 m below sea level).
Yes and no. Depends on the temperature. As ice melts, the density of the water increases (so the water contracts) until it reaches maximum density at 4 C, and from then on it will start to expand.
Icebergs melting will make the ice/water contract (and sea levels to go down by some minuscule amount), but as the water then gets warmer than 4 C, the sea level will start going up (again by some minuscule amount).
Aren't you glad you asked?

One is talking about global warming. Ice will not melt for no reason. If temperature increases, it is not just the temperature of polar ice increases. It is the whole ocean temperature increases. Since the ocean covers 70% of the earth surface. The volume of water expanded is not minuscule amount. That's why one should go to Maldives as soon as possible.
True, the global temperature is rising, and the ice is melting, and the oceans are rising. ...The grand deluge is coming, eventually.
Still, CD is not hi-res. ...SACD (DSD) is though, for now.

Spinning CDs to clean sewage water: http://phys.org/news/2013-09-cds-sewage.html
Audio CDs, all the rage in the '90s, seem increasingly obsolete in a world of MP3 files and iPods, leaving many music lovers with the question of what to do with their extensive compact disk collections. While you could turn your old disks into a work of avant-garde art, researchers in Taiwan have come up with a more practical application: breaking down sewage. The team will present its new wastewater treatment device at the Optical Society's (OSA) Annual Meeting, Frontiers in Optics (FiO) 2013, being held Oct. 6-10 in Orlando, Fla.

Tim-I'm sure you would, but I'm going to take the high road and resist the temptation. The possibilities are endless though.
Wow, amazing what CDs are good for!
Now, what can they do with record vinyls that is as productive and durable as the CDs?

(...) I have a heck of a lot of stuff that is on old 9-track data tapes, or on data cartridges, or zip drives, or old hard disks that are unlikely to work very well any more, are in a file format used by some ancient operating system, and need a reader that nobody younger than 35 has ever seen except in a museum
Gary Kidall CP/M? I still have diskettes in that format that I can read in an old computer. Some time ago I was re-reading my old Pascal programs!
Yes, digital processing was needed to play the first known recording of human voice, made with Phonautograph decades before the Edison phonograph. But the recording survived all those years in analog format!
I never take anyone seriously, not even me.
...Just kidding. :b{I still miss Frank.}
