The uncertainty contained in a 5 or 10 year economic forecast is quite large. Combining 93-year economic and climate forecasts as though predicting tomorrow’s noon hour temperature creates a new height for me in irresponsible journalism.

This settles it. We only have to wait 93 more years before this global warming nonsense is disproved.

Worse than that: His paper (press release about his paper) on the Tufts web site claims to have +20 inches by 2050 and +45 inches by 2100 - and that little bit is in his worst case, if-nothing-is-done-case about GW.
So, will less than 2 feet “flood” anything at all?
Nonsense: The power plants (and prisons by the way) are well above +4 ft above sea level - even the road A1A on the beach islands, Atlantic side is HIGHER than +4 feet! (The nuclear plant is over +16 FEET - at its extreme low point in the parking lot, and flood barriers/wave barriers go higher than that up to the building.
Further, the “economist” is ignoring the +12% to +26% INCREASE in plant life and food/feed crops made possible by today’s increased CO2!
The enviro’s “bought & wrote” a totally bogus story - for hype.

Wikipedia Would you like it to sink another 2 ft? Just change it. Anyone can in Wikipedia.

How 'bout this:
"Florida's mean elevation is sea level."?

The higher elevations in the Panhandle and along Florida's central ridge are believed to represent ancient coastal terraces 5-25 million years old. Did the dinosaur's SUVs cause this past flooding?

I will bet $50 that Mr.Frank Ackerman can not give me the correct forcast within 5 degrees two weeks out and he is telling me what it will be in 2100?

One more question that will never be asked by the MSM.
To: goldstategop
Was FL underwater in the previous warm climates?
Or does Reuters want to reunited the continents too?
If it is Reuters, ITS WRONG!
