I guess it's a good thing that seal levels have been decreasing for the last two years!


NASA Sea Level Data

The homes would flood if local sea levels rise at least six feet due to the warming climate.

Unfortunately, Seattle may have to endure an earthquake or Mt. Rainier volcanic eruption before sea levels rise six feet due to "global warming." One or both of the two events is much more likely to occur by 2100 than a sea level rise of six feet.

And they say that as if it’s a bad thing! It would be just the Good Lord flushing out the flotsam.

I thought there were millions underwater after the housing bubble busting?

[PIF]

Very true - if sea levels were actually rising instead of falling according to a recent NOAA report ...

[IronJack]

An extrapolation from an extrapolation. That’s bound to be accurate.

[Gamecock]

No one will be here then that read this warning today. But this is the way it will pan out.

1. If we do something, and nothing happens, claim success.

2. If we do nothing and those houses flood there will conniption fits, much like we see today anyway.

3. If we something and the houses don’t flood, they will claim victory.

4. If we do nothing and nothing happens they will claim there is still much to learn.

Seattle? It's a start.

Unicorn piss could flood one in ten Seattle homes - IF unicorns existed.

[blueplum]

does that mean the statue of Lenin will be underwater?

[waredbird]

This is great news. This means that the next ice age will be delayed. Therefore all the houses in Seattle won’t be under a mile of ice for a few more years at least.

[mulligan]

And of course, all due to global warming.

Wasn't NYC supposed to already be under water? Algore said all the artic ice would have melted by 2014. It's been predicted Mar-a-lago will be flooded any day now.

[Mears]

Looks like I’ll be “sleeping with the fishes”.

[bgill]

Two words - Panama Canal.

[JimRed]

I’m still waiting for the Artic ice to melt and stay melted since 2013 when Algore said it would. So far, it hasn’t done that.

I'm still awaiting the new ice age the same socialist morons predicted back in the 70s.

” A new Zillow analysis using government climate change forecasts...”

Now there’s a pair of trustworthy entities for you...Zillow and govt climate change forecasts.

Zillow couldn’t find a correct property value if it enslaved every appraiser in America.

And, govt climate change forecasts? That’s all that needs to be said about THOSE values.

As they have passed the median interval for a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake (9.2 R) with complementary tsunami, perhaps their focus is misplaced.

[ConservaTeen]

Okay...let's see...we will have more WATERFRONT HOMES in Seattle....

Could someone please update what is affected by Globull Warming, or would it be easier to list what is not caused by it?

[tinyowl]

That’s not nearly enough.
