Waaaahoooo. Greenland will be GREEN again. I'm gonna start buying real estate using Lex Luthor's map coupled with SCIENTIFIC scrutiny and my great grandchildren will be super wealthyand hang out with the Gore and Kennedy Clans.

“Glad I’m at 6800 ft.”

Algore and the IPCC say that is barely high enough.

Good luck.

Wouldn’t cloud cover also increase? If it is warm enough to melt enough ice to raise sea levels by 1.5 metres, then isn’t it warm enough to turn more sea water into vapour? If that is the case, then are we likely to see increased rainfall in areas that are currently parched (areas such as the American aouthwest which was once much more green than now)?

Sea levels could rise by up to one-and-a-half metres by the end of this century, according to a new scientific analysis.

I would challenge the merits of that "scientific" analysis because it does not make sense. There are puts and takes in connection with the ice sheets; while they are melting in the arctic, they are solidifying in the antarctic. Global warming peaked out in 1998. How much of the ice is floating? What are their assumptions, data, and methodology to come to such a strange conclusion? Is it political or scientific?

Call me back when they say “WILL rise”.

Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets are losing mass, though the much bigger East Antarctic sheet may be gaining mass.
Gee, I guess Sea Level is going to fall in East Antartic...The a##’s need to change their models to include “RAIN.”

The nice thing about making predictions for the year 2100 is that it’s very unlikely there will still be anybody alive who’ll remember what you said, let alone come back in time and prove that you were wrong.

[sarcasm throttle redlined]

In the meantime, Drudge is reporting that two bulldozers broke down trying to clear the roads in Yellowstone before they open the park for spring. I guess all that snow will suddenly melt and inundate coastal areas worldwide.

[/sarcasm throttle at station-keeping]

By the end of the century I will definitely be 6 feet under. Not my problem.

Global Cooling MAY lower sea levels by the year 2100.

I predict the extra pressure at the bottom of the oceans will push water into the crust of the earth and a rise will only be negligible.

Doesn't anyone believe me? /sarcasm

What I want to know is: Why won’t George Bush allow the EPA to put flying monkeys on the endangered species list?
