Global Warming Will Drown Bangkok, Shanghai, Mumbai

Scientists have dramatically underestimated the impact rising seas will have on cities around the world, according to research published in the journal Nature Communications.

One hundred and fifty million people are currently living in places that will be below the high-tide line in 30 years - three times as many people as the old projection methods estimated.

Previous estimates relied on satellite data to forecast sea-level rise, but satellites can’t distinguish between ground level and taller elements integrated into the landscape, like trees and buildings. The paper, authored by Scott Kulp and Benjamin Strauss of the Princeton, used artificial intelligence to identify errors in the data and correct them.

Their model paints a grim picture: whole swaths of Vietnam, Thailand, coastal China, India, Egypt and Iraq swallowed by ocean.

Those same areas are some of the most expensive real estate in those countries. Prices there aren’t falling. The market dies not believe in rising sea levels.

And it will drown Obama’s, Al Gore’s, and Mitt Romney’s waterfront mansions.

I wonder why they don’t act accordingly?

Is there something they’re not telling us?

If the sky falls at the same time globull warming melts all the ice, won’t those pieces of the sky fill in the low spots?

I learned about the theory of man made global warming in 1970. Since then the high tide mark at my Long Island beach has not moved a bit.

That’s all I know about it

They’re scaring us to death. Never mind the fact not a single one of their alarmist, doom-mongering prognostications has ever come true.

Then I guess Bangcock, Shanghai and Mumbai had better get ON it. Don’t expect US to bust OUR buns until we see THEM making some effort. And WHY DON’T we see THEM breaking a sweat over it? Because THEY KNOW THE WHOLE idea is a huge CROCK. Anyhow, as coastal land gets submerged, an equal area elsewhere will become unfrozen, fresh and pristine. So it’ll be a beautiful wash./Sarc.

Agreed on that. So I say to Trump “Please Daddy, buy us Greenland, please”.

I remember when (most) scientists believed in the scientific method as a means to finding absolute truth. Today, they reject both the concept that a hypothesis can be disproved and the existence of truth itself. Leftists disgust me.

We’re all gonna die! Who really cares if low lying coastland gets deluged?

If we’re not around to see it, it isn’t a falsifiable test.

Sure it will.

Alarmist: Global warming will wipe out the wild unicorn herds.
Sane person: There are no wild unicorns.
Alarmist: Oh my god! It’s too late!!!
