"The vast majority of climate scientists agree that the release of greenhouse gases by human civilization is driving global temperatures higher, with projections of sea-level rise ranging from one to six feet over the next century."
has little merit in my eyes. As far as I am concerned, the ice melt runoff caused by the sun-induced global temperature increase adds to the sea volume and raises its level in relation to the land, but the reduced burden of the ice allows the land mass to rise in relation to the sea in places where ice was/is an issue (probably not Florida). Taking my cue from the article, won't the temperature increase cause evaporaation of the sea, thus reducing its level? Also, I am willing to bet Obozo's total wealth that the 6 feet rise is a TOTALLY discredited figure - just like AGW itself.
Not by much. The added warming from CO2 will only be about 1C and the added evaporation from that extra warmth is limited by the weather so mostly would result in rain falling right back on the ocean. However, part of the 2010 sea level drop is from added rainfall on land that has not gone back into the ocean (stuck in lakes or in ground water).
6 feet rise is a TOTALLY discredited figure
No, never officially discredited, but always was speculative and always will be. Those 1-2 meter projections come from climate models that Greenland will heat up by 5-10 degrees C and start to "rapidly" melt (rapid being relative, it would still take 100's of years to really get going). A much more reasonable estimate is that sea levels will rise at the current rate, about an inch per decade, as the Arctic slowly warms. Meanwhile the Antarctic may end up gaining more ice to partly counteract the Arctic.
