Whenever I see these stories I'm reminded of Spielberg's movie "A.I. Artificial Intelligence" and his depiction of New York City (global warming, don-cha-know)

The New York Times has taken warnings about global warming to a whole new level, publishing a three-part series suggesting a “potential apocalypse” from melting ice sheets if humans keep pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
“If that ice sheet were to disintegrate, it could raise the level of the sea by more than 160 feet — a potential apocalypse, depending on exactly how fast it happened,” NYT reporter Justin Gillis wrote of what some scientists predict could happen to Antarctica.
Gillis points to recent research suggesting “the collapse of the ice sheet will become inevitable,” likening the projected 160-foot sea-level rise to flood stories from the Epic of Gilgamesh to the Bible’s Old Testament.
“In the Epic of Gilgamesh, waters so overwhelm the mortals that the gods grow frightened, too,” Gillis wrote, “In India’s version, Lord Vishnu warns a man to take refuge in a boat, carrying seeds. In the Bible, God orders Noah to carry two of every living creature on his ark.”
“I don’t think the biblical deluge is just a fairy tale,” Terence Hughes, a retired glaciologist told Gillis. “I think some kind of major flood happened all over the world, and it left an indelible imprint on the collective memory of mankind that got preserved in these stories.”

Assuming this journalist lives in New York since he right for the NYT. If this person really and truly believed the sea would rise by 160 feet, why would you live there?
Crash on the levee, mama, water’s gonna overflow.
But those biblical floods happened before the advent of modern civilization, doesn’t it *refute* the main premise of man-made Global Warming?
“But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
Matthew 24:37-39
You mean like how they were calling for a kil-zillion hurricanes (because of global warming) after Katrina??
Thanks NYT—you idiots probably just jinxed us with a long term drought.
The only thing that can save us is more government money. A LOT more!
We must have higher taxes and many more billions spent on carbon offsets, subsidies and similar wealth redistribution programs.

apparently he feels it to be the write thing to do...
I was thinking the same thing...now they’re quoting the bible...there is no end to their hypocrisy...I’ve also noticed the lies are getting bigger and more desperate...

But but but [my Chris Wallace motorboat impression]
We are headed for a mini-ice age in the late 2020s and 2030s. Another recent article said a mini-ice age is even closer — starting about next year.
The climate-change nutcases need to get on the same page. At least that might help their credibility.
They want their global warming scam money.
In the Cambrian Period, CO2 levels were at 7000 ppm.... that's not a typo... not seven hundred, but seven thousand ppm. And the Earth, and all life on it, survived.
And yet the Gore-ites pretend that all life will somehow be extinguished if we ever hit 400, and the only possible blame must be placed on human activity, despite 97% of all atmospheric CO2 coming from the oceans that cover 75% of the earth's surface, and are very, very deep.
