It’s all prediction. No measured sea-rise. Surprise, surprise.

It will probably tip over first.

And their predictions haven’t been very good so far.

I’ve gotten to a point where the gross ignorance of the ruling class is so whacked out, I can’t even bring myself to comment.

The problem is, the Ruling Class believes this and is going to force me into punishments because this is all somehow my fault.....

Didn’t rise yesterday.

Nor today.

Won’t rise in 2100 ...more than a couple of inches.

It’s all total horse pockey. None of these island nations is experiencing ANY long-term systemic sea level rise. That said, on any given day, due to wind, atmospheric pressure variations, celestial tides, and ocean currents, the water levels might be much higher than normal - for a time, hours, even days.

But this story about a six or seven foot general rise in sea levels is nothing but malarky meant to scare the gullible.

Well, it depends on what you mean by “good”. Their “predictions” have been VERY GOOD for the entire industry of Global Warming Scam.

Every Global Warming scare story has a single underlying message:

We (the warmists) want more money.

I have been going to the Chespeake Bay since 1966 and the water is at the same level today as then. (For those in Rio Linda, the bay is connected to the Atlantic Ocean.)

As global temperatures rise, so will sea levels from three to six feet

Where the hell is the six feet of water going to come from? Rain? Melting ice? Geez, if the oceans rise this much, there will be much worse things than sinking islands to worry about.

-——As global temperatures rise, so will sea levels from three to six feet by the end of the century according to the Columbia University-——

Man, does this crap ever end......anybody ever do the math on how much water you need to raise the oceans six feet across the planet ?

Where is this water going to come from?

Didn’t Michael Crighton write a book about this exact situation (”State of Fear”)?

Have any of these global warming geniuses ever consider that these islands they claim are sinking sit on a plate that’s moving under another?
