I'm looking forward to surfing the warm waters off Greenland. Might even put up a palm frond shack on the beach.

contributing to sea level rise at a rate of 0.4 ± 0.2 mm/year.We need to get the Army Corp of Engineers to build a levee around the low lying areas of the countries. I figure of we build it 8 millimeters high, that will hold us for about 20 years.....

This is all such faux science. These chicken littles don't seem to realize that planet earth is not just a big, dead rock - it's constantly changing, in minute ways, and we change right along with it. I will never, ever believe any of this "man made global warming - danger, Will Robinson!" BS until I hear one weatherman get the weather forecast right. If they can't tell me what's going to happen tomorrow, I won't believe anything they say about 100 years from now.

The zero-point of the sea, meticulously established on a small cliff on an island (The Isle of the Dead) off the southeast coast of Australia in 1841, shows that the ocean level has lowered by about 30 cm (about a foot) since 1841.You can't use one data point to establish mean sea level over time -- the land could be rising, rather than the sea falling. You need to have many dozens of localities around the world to establish this by such a technique.

"

But at least this one IS a data point, and it would seem to contradict the Chicken Littles that continuously harp about innundation by the oceans.

Bump!
And even if flows over the waters melt...that has no impact on the ocean levels.

If the short-term trend was cooler temperatures, I have no doubt that the enviros would be blaming "global cooling" on industrialization. Something to think about. The issues are: is there really a long-term trend, and how fast is it playing out? If the process is slow, mankind can easily adjust. As our technology improves, I am confident that we will at some point be able to control any heating/cooling trend. In other words, rationality and development are the ultimate thermostats.

Indeed, that's exactly what they were doing back in the 1960s and 1970s. Here's a link to an excellent seminal scientific paper on climate change. (Don't worry, it's readable, especially given that it published in 1933.)
http://docs.lib.noaa.gov/rescue/mwr/061/mwr-061-09-0251.pdf
If we then had the media, politics, and technology that we now enjoy, how might we have responded? Let us not forget that 1930, 1934, and 1936 rank among the worst droughts and severest heat waves ever to strike the United States and that the term "Dust Bowl" entered into the American lexicon in 1936. The winters of the era in the politically important Northeastern states (excluding of course 1933/34) rank among the mildest in climatological history.

Am I doomed?In spite of an all out assault to stop, or even slow it down, the death rate remains firmly at 100%.
So, sadly, the answer is yes.

If we grant them the whole .4mm it would take 65 years to rise one inch.

Not that long in terms of the earth's existence. Maybe 50,000 years. Be patient!

These people cry wolf so much I do not believe them nor do I care!
Not to mention the Kyoto crowd flying to gatherings in private jets and getting picked up in Suburbans and limos. Really comitted to their cause, so we should be too. Schmucks.
