BTTT!
And that is the point- to use a hypothetical "worst-case" scenario. And the fact that such dramatic changes would take a thousand years+ assuming that God doesn't change the climate again...
And if the past few million years are an indication, the collapse comes much faster than the build-up. Plus, isostatic rebound still hasn't stablized following the last glacial retreat...with more rapid rebound on the north side of the Great Lakes, they are slowly spilling southward.
It gets even more complex than that, because the real question is the band of near-zero...and warming will shift that, changing snowfall.
Looks like I'll have some waterfront property in MD one day. Too bad I'll be long dead before I see it. It also looks like I've wasted my money on my Save The Bay plates.
very nice thank you.
Me too

Wm. Robert Johnston is obviously the anti-Al-Gore.
If we could say. double or triple the speed the earth rotates, more water would accumulate along the equator.. Its a centrifugal thing I don't have time to explain it to you dang bootstrappers... :P
Now I know tieing down running jet airplanes to spool up the planets speed is politically incorrect ...since it pollutes...But what if we launched liberals night and day out of eastward facing giant potato guns? You know for every action a reaction thing?
I hope I spelled potato right because everyone knows misspelling a single word can make you less qualified for anything than a one term democrat.. hmmmm
Battle of the one term democrats..why does that sound familiar?
anyhow..back to solving the future flooding, doesn't every person on earth basically consist of about 30 gallons of water on a stick? Well we need to keep the third worlders breading like mad..we have to park that glacier meltoff in people.. In fact maybe we should hire people to stand at the face of all glaciers and lick the drips of water off of them before they fall into the ocean and flood some movie stars house !
Hey, I am only trying to help,besides enviro-wacko science doesn't follow any written laws..why should I?
I first had the Sierra Club's number in 1983. I was working construction in Estes Park listening to the jobsite radio. During the noon news break a story was aired that the Sierra Club was all-fired concerned that the fragile tundra on Trail Ridge Road was being permanently damaged by tourists wandering around on the tundra. TR Road is the highest continuous auto road in the continental U.S. and is in Rocky Mountain National Park. It's about 8-10 miles from Estes Park to the top.
I was stunned to hear that since a couple of weeks before I had been up there and witnessed the 'fragile' tundra plants pushing through the asphalt trails the Park had put in a few years before. There are literally thousands of people who take those trails each year and as one might expect they don't all stay on them. (3-4 million pass through the Park per year on avg.)
There were and are few places where the tundra plants are actually worn down to dirt. Not to mention those few hundred feet of trails make up some fractional billionth of the tundra in CO alone much less all the Rockies.
I knew then that the Sierra Club was utterly and completely bogus. They have proved that 100 times over since then.
