Changes are already occurring. The world's oceans rose about 6 inches to 8 inches during the 20th century. In North Carolina, the ocean has grown higher by about 8 inches in the past century, because much of the coast is also slowly sinking as the land settles.

A panel of international scientists projects the seas will rise 7 to 30 inches in the next century unless there is a substantial reduction in the emission of man-made greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. Those gases spew from our cars, power plants and appliances, accumulating in the atmosphere and trapping heat.

The sea level has risen some 400 feet in the last 12,000+ years. That's about 40 inches a century average over that entire period. Actually most of that occurred before 5,000 years ago, but sea level rise has been occurring worldwide since the last ice age ended.

And they are trying to scare us with 6-8 inches in the last century and some wild guess for the next century?

6-8 inches? HA! I laugh at 6-8 inches!

You kidding? In a million years, Everest will be under water.

Maybe a billion.

If current models hold up.

The entire premise of global warming is now that change is bad. Change is abnormal. Change can be stopped.

Ah, can change be stopped?

Of course not!

This movement is teetering on the brink of self-destruction.

I’m not even buying 6-8 inches where I live that would be a lot don't see it happening.(As I sit only 300 feet from the ocean)
