Show more »"Scientists believe that climate change will lead to the polar ice caps melting and cause sea levels to rise.  As ice is less dense that water and 9 tenths of an ice berg is below the surface of the sea then surely the icebergs melting will cause the sea levels to drop? Water is unusual as it actually expands when it turns to a solid. Therefore, the water frozen in an iceberg will displace more of the sea than if it was water. I'm sure you have a good answer to this question. Thanks for reading, Chris Battye, Halifax." Show less »

    The main constituent of rising sea levels comes from the thermal expansion of the oceans as temperatures rise. Land based melting ice and snow will also contribute, but obviously melting ice burgs won’t for the reasons stated by the questioner!

    I understand the FCO's notoriously unstable servers and systems have created UK visa crisis worldwide with almost no visas being issued since October 9th when the system went down. My girlfriend having worked damned hard to get a work permit for the UK is now stuck in the US while the biometric computer system writhes around in a fit.

    Meanwhile the British consulates and embassies pull the shutters down and put their fingers in their ears. Apparently they are 'not authorised' to communicate with anyone. Not even on the FCO website to make people aware or manage expectations.

    They are probably singing Bread of Heaven and rationing ammunition as I type.

    - Why is it that no communication channel has been provided and no announcements have been made?

    People are suffering as a result of this and it is damaging British diplomatic relations around the globe.

    - How can we be trusted if we don't talk to people?

Show more »"I had the pleasure of listening to you at the recent IBD lunch and your comments about the "all pervasiveness of the internet" and "digitalisation of the economy" struck home. Big companies struggle to 'get' the internet and virtually every succesful/ meaningful internet story is created by a new start-up. Microsoft has had more successes than most, with Expedia and Live yet Microsofts main strategy seems to buy Yahoo. How does he anticipate that big business and indeed Microsoft can really succeed on the internet? " Show less »
