“... a global sea level rise of about a metre by year’s end,....”
That’s what the article says. A 3 foot rise in sea levels in the next few weeks, displacing 100 million people!
These articles are such BS.
Gore talks about the seasonal melting of arctic sea ice, which people do NOT drink but then he says 1 billion people rely on melting ice and they will have no water!
IF the seasonal melt is so drastic and reverses the region from reflecting 85% of sun to absorbing 85%, then why are we getting cooler and not drastically hotter?
Finally, I love Gore’s statement that 2008 “probably” saw less ice than 2007. And the shifting of the measure from the extent of the sea ice to a supposedly lesser volume.
I guess 100 foot thick ice magically reflects more light than 80 foot thick ice.
1 metre by years end? Cool, that means I can buy cheap Gulf beach property just South of Sinton, Tx. just in time for a New Years beach party.

Yeah,,, like at the restaurant the other day. I didnt drink my ice tea,,, and the floating ice melted, and the glass overflowed onto the table. (sarc)
Melting of floating ice doesnt raise the water level,,AlGore.
Well, those of us who live inland have a constitutional right to waterfront property. You could look it up.
It’s in the same section that guarantees government the right to mandate health care under the penalty of prison.
