Seas will rise by 99 metres less than the A[ustralian]BC warned
Herald Sun ^ | May 22, 2011 | Andrew Bolt

Posted on 05/22/2011 5:13:19 PM PDT by AustralianConservative

Even Professor Willi Steffen, an alarmist with the Climate Commission, predicts a sea level rise by 2100 of no higher than a metre:

Professor Steffen’s report strongly defends the scientific finding that human emissions of carbon dioxide are causing the world to warm, predicts the sea could rise by up to a metre by 2100...

So we are still waiting for the [Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s] ABC’s lead science presenter, Robyn Williams, to explain his disgraceful scaremongering:

Andrew Bolt: I’m telling you, there’s a lot of fear out there. So what I do is, when I see an outlandish claim being made...so Tim Flannery suggesting rising seas this next century eight stories high, Professor Mike Archer, dean of engineering at the University of NSW…

Robyn Williams: Dean of science.

Andrew Bolt: Dean of science...suggesting rising seas this next century of up to 100 metres, or Al Gore six metres. When I see things like that I know these are false. You mentioned the IPCC report; that suggests, at worst on best scenarios, 59 centimetres.

Robyn Williams: Well, whether you take the surge or whether you take the actual average rise are different things.

Andrew Bolt: I ask you, Robyn, 100 metres in the next century...do you really think that?

Robyn Williams: It is possible, yes. The increase of melting that they’ve noticed in Greenland and the amount that we’ve seen from the western part of Antarctica, if those increases of three times the expected rate continue, it will be huge.

In fact, the University of Colorado, which maintains the most-quoted dta base for sea-level rise, now admits:

These frauds should have to pay back all the grant money they’ve been stealing all these years, plus interest.

We are on the verge of the next ice age and when it is in full effect the seas will drop by about 500 feet.

Leftist centers like New York and Boston will be covered by glaciers.

Is there even enough water trapped in glacial and polar ice to raise global sea levels 100m if it all melted?

seriously?

this is absurd. the earth’s surface that is covered with water is about 350 million sq km.

.1 km [appx 99 m] times 350 million is 35 million square km of water.

Just where is all this water going to come from.

If the seas don’t rise by a meter, they may be lower by a meter, and none of the globalist warming frauds have a clue which it will be, if anything.

What I would like to know is how much has sea level already risen in the last 20 years? No speculation, just facts.

That's how much 0bama is going to ask for in his next stimulus package.

I agree. So weird too that world “scientists” are repeating fibs as Gospel. The lack of accountability is the issue.
