New York, Boston "Directly in Path" of Sea Level Rise

By 2100 visitors to Boston could be parking their boats, not their cars, in Harvard Yard.

Major cities in the northeastern U.S. and eastern Canada "are directly in the path of the greatest rise" in sea level if Greenland continues to melt due to global warming, a new study says.

Apparently, she has a Masters, even though she doesn’t list it anywhere, and my first search turned up empty.

The Sun is stealing Earth’s oxygen!

I received a “gift” subscription to NatGeo a couple of years back.
Fortunately, it came with it’s own “Barf-Bag”.

Boyle's Law says the meniscus goes down. You should have seen the look a young female Moonbat when I used scientific term. By the way if the opposite was true then Boston would go back to the way it when before the Pilgrims came to the Cape.

If it would include Washington, D.C., I'd really be jazzed. Thanx !

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

Couldn't giant sponges the sizes of ice bergs soak up the excess water? Then let it evaporate.

That actually sounds SANE compared to painting everything white, like they're talking about doing.

The government plan is to hire government workers to paint all roofs white for the summer and then in the fall they can go back and paint the same roofs black for winter.

This will assure full employment. I don't know how they're going to pay for it but why worry about that. :)

Until the Global Warming / Climate Change advocates can explain and show the differences between their PERCEIVED Anthropomorphic (human causation) change and the 'Medieval Warm Period' when Greenland had birch tree forests and sustained farming, I remain a skeptic and unwilling to accept the massive government and tax burden increases these advocates wish to impose.

Surely these people can point to where the high-water marks from that time frame in Bahstan and Nu Yerk, right? Or could it be that it is more about the Hamptons, Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard and other posh seaside resorts of the oligarchs that is in danger. By the way, were there grapes growing on Martha's Vine when it was discovered in 1600s? Inquiring minds want to know.
