The vast majority of people don’t get past the headlines.

If ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ were candy and nuts we’d all have a Merry Christmas.

Maybe God wants to get in on the action. “I see your measly few feet and raise you several thousand”. Honestly, the planet is in dire need of a complete reboot.

We’ve seen gigantic ice floes cracking off since at least the 1960’s when satellites became available to monitor the Antarctic ice shelves. This is definitely not news.

More fear porn brought to you by the same crowd who told us in 2000 that we only have ten years to save the planet, that New York City would be underwater by now, that snowfalls are “a thing of the past,” and who switched from “global warming” to “climate change” because the warming predictions proved to be wrong.

That much? How many foot rise in the sea level is needed to flood out the Rio Grande?

Is Obama’s beach front house for sale? Then I do not believe this.

Thwaites contributes 4 percent of annual global sea level rise, according to the British Antarctic Survey. But if the shelf collapses, that amount could rise to 25 percent, the scientists said.

Doncha love it when these scientific reports state "4 percent of annual global sea level rise" or "could rise to 25%"? But why should they give you enough information to assess what that means...it sounds far more scary this way. How scary would it be to say: "The rise could increase by 4% of the 0.0001" annual rise in sea levels. This means sea levels might rise by as much as 0.000004 of an inch in a year, or 1" in the next 250,000 years!

No, but if we also bought gas leaf blowers, gas lawn mowers and gas generators it might get the job done. Just ask gov Newsom.

It sucks when underwater volcanos are responsible for your “melt.”
********************************************************************

Damn those anthropogenic underwater volcanoes! We need to move to solar and wind powered cars to stop this runaway volcanic activity. /sarc

I sure hope so. That’s why I bought property in Otisberg and Marina Del Lex.
