Cities at Risk of Rising Sea Levels

The sea isn't rising, THE LAND IS SINKING!

[Always Right]

In all, 634 million people live in the threatened coastal areas worldwide—defined as those lying at less than 33 feet above sea level—and the number is growing, said the study published in the journal Environment and Urbanization.

And the seas are supposively rising at a rate of less than 1 inch per decade. So in about 4000 years all those people are doomed.

Tell it to the Dutchmen.

[SandRat]

ah yes,.... more eldritch eldolon from the Eco-NUTZ

Does this mean I may at some point own ocean front property?

[Old Sarge]

Where's the pic of "We're DOOMED!"

[Izzy Dunne]

Does this mean I may at some point own ocean front property?

Yes, you may. It's not that difficult.

You should first find a seller, then negotiate an acceptable price, then execute a contract to purchase the land.

Only one way to solve this problem. We need to stop putting our carbon boot prints on the Earth and instead plant them on Al Gore's butt in the form of some good kicks.

The sky is falling!

I'm sending off letters to the owners of choice waterfront estates offering them $10 per acre for their soon to be worthless properties.

Actually the coastline changes all the time. On the gulf coast of Texas at Surfside every time there is a bad storm some more beach houses can fall into the sea. It is a dynamic earth. In Calif. we have earthquakes. Catalina Island is moving two inches a year.

A stable unchanging climate means a dead earth.

The astronomical and continually increasing prices of waterfront property around here indicate that very few people actually believe this global warming scaremongering.

Amsterdam, Holland! Ever hear of it??????

Luckily, my foundation is at 35 feet.

Perhaps they can shore up the shores using all the BS they are throwing around. Have they not heard of recycling?

Of course it does. It always has.

But you can help stop it!     Click now and you also get... a set of ginsu steak knives at NO EXTRA COST!

[SGCOS]

this is such BS.
fill a glass with ice and water. As the ice melts, the water level goes down...What am I missing?

[ronnie raygun]

Everybody on the band wagon! Is this nucklehead related to Big Al?
