A recent headline in the New York Times says “Scientists Warn of Rising Oceans from Polar Melt.” Other newspapers propagated the story with titles like “Ice sheet collapse ‘unstoppable,’ scientists warn” and “Huge Antarctic ice sheet collapsing.”
The story refers to two recent publications that conclude that “warm water upwelling from the [Antarctic] ocean depths has most likely triggered an inherent instability” that will lead to the envisaged collapse.
There are some problems with such predictions: The facts show otherwise.

I know. First Guam and now Antarctica. Scary stuff huh?
20 years ago Ted Danson said we only had 8 years left.
I thought we missed our very last chance to pass world saving legislation 8 years ago.
Seems to me these evolutionists are standing in the way of what they should believe is natural progress.
And if an evolutionist complains that climate change would endanger the human race, well shame on you for being so selfish that you're willing to halt planetary progress just for a bunch of bipedal pond-scum. There are other species waiting to emerge.
If not, why not?
A lot of liberals live on the coasts.... I am not sure if I am seeing a problem here.
Was that around the time he was “whoopi-ing” it up? Brain damaged? Yup!
This is an actual conversation I had with my dear wife (who is well to the left of me):
Me: This weather’s been crazy lately
Wifey: It’s global climate change.
Me: Yeah, it’s called planetary climate cycles. It’s been going on for millenia.
Wifey: Well, it seems more exaggerated the last few years.
Me: It’s certainly exaggerated by the media.
“Seems to me these evolutionists are standing in the way of what they should believe is natural progress.”
This is why humanity is an evolutionary dead end. We became intelligent enough to interfere with natural selection.
500 Days to build an ark!
It must be big enough to fit in all the congressmen, senators, government elites and lobbyists.
Only 500 days. They better get going. Executive order now!
A funny side issue is found in the fact that many of those rescued were “climate change scientists” looking to accumulate more evidence of the global catastrophe they are predicting.
Call Venice and order Gondolas have a fire sale on taxis.
Block off all first floors! Solved!
So when can we expect Gore and the others to sell off their mansions and start living a simple lifestyle off the grid? Shouldn’t these people be hanging around the Amish learning how to live without electricity and carbon belching automobiles? After all, who knows better how to recycle manure?
My niece who is a raving leftist at the ripe old age of 20 told me about this. So I asked her a simple question. If the ice sheets break off, and sink into the water, and water levels are going to rise, how long will it take that rise to reach land, and wouldn’t it raise water levels on every land mass?
She looked at me like I had two heads. So I asked her another question. If there is an ice cube in a drink and I break that ice cube into 10 pieces, how long would it take for the water in the drink to flow over the rim of the glass?
She said it is irrelevant because one is global warming and one isn’t. I shook my head and walked away. The only thing that would have confirmed her stupidity and my telling her mother not to waste the 40 grand a year on her colledge education would have been her calling me a racist.
Be upbeat and profit from this. Buy land inland where the new beach will be.
Apparently, the volcano has started rumbling again and it is time for another sacrifice. This time she wants us to forgo our cars, jobs, food and standard of living by throwing them into the volcano. That is all that can save us now.
Hmm, it will soon be winter in the southern Hemisphere, guess what happens in winter...???
Hopefully you’re not in any danger of tipping over. :>}
