One of the great facts found at "Icecap" was this nugget:

"Sea level has been rising at a rate of 1.8 mm per year for the past 8,000 years. The IPCC notes that “No significant acceleration in the rate of sea level rise during the 20th century has been detected.” [In spite of "man-made" CO2 - my comment] Unless there is another Little Ice Age, they will continue rising at roughly this rate for centuries to come."

Which means the "rise in sea levels" would continue as follows: 1ft in 200 yrs, 2ft in 400 years, 2.7ft in 500 years, 5.4ft in 1,000 yrs, 11ft in 2,000 yrs, 16ft in 3,000 yrs, 21.5ft in 4,000 yrs, 27ft in 5,000 yrs and 54ft in 10,000 yrs.

If humans are not smart enough to make the adjustments to simply where they live (either protect it or move), required by those rates of sea level changes, then they won't deserve to still be here.

Actually, it is far more complex than that. One of the things that occurred was orchestrated propaganda - remarkably similar to global warming intensity.

In time, a decade or two, the outrageous scam will be obvious.

Sadly, it won't matter. The anti-humans will just move to another topic to push their stale communism.

I watched the movie “The Lives of Others” this weekend. The East German Stasi reminded me of Clinton, Gore and co.

scientific data to create in allusion of rapid global warming.

Please tell me that the Weather Channel founder didn't write "in allusion of" instead of "an illusion of".

Thanks. This is from his impressive bio on the WWJ site:

Sonny’s been making Detroiters smile about the weather for years. Unlike any other in the country, Eliot’s weathercasts are a mixture of fast-paced humor, bits of far-out philosophy, one liners, improbable analogies and similes, and, not to be overlooked, easy-to-understand weather forecasts. The National Association of TV Program Executives (NATPE) has named his witty reports the nation’s best.

I assumed he had gone to the great beyond, nice surprise to see that he hasn’t.

This ain't too shabby, either.

During World War II, Eliot was a B-24 bomber pilot when he was shot down over Germany and spent the next 18 months as a prisoner of war in Stalagluft I. While in captivity he lifted the morale of the other prisoners by staging original skits and revues. He holds the rank of Colonel in the U.S. Air Force Reserve and was named Air Force Liaison Officer for the 1st Congressional District.

This is a dagger to the heart for GW believers. When the founder of the Weather Channel and one of the top pros in his time says so, it can't be ignored.

For me, it's now really "settled science."

You make me feel as though I should change my name to Ellen. LOL. I’m a woman.

Unless she runs for another office, yes. There is a two term limit here. In her case, two terms too long.

Oops !! Sorry.

I did not realize she is in her 2nd term. I hope the next Gov does better for you.

I read this last night on their website. THIS IS GREAT. I loved John Coleman (he's our weatherman) well before this, and I love him even more, now!!!

Great Courage, John - Telling the TRUTH!!!

Afraid not! Go to the AMS website and look for television seal of approval holder’s page; seal #230. You’ll have your answer.
