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.
When bammy sells his two ocean front properties I may get concerned.
Should have gotten the booster shot.
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!
yada yada yada. fuck the media and their bullshit fear stories. they need to be held accountable for their lies
I sure hope so. That’s why I bought property in Otisberg and Marina Del Lex.

I am not a scientist but it is my understanding that there is ice at both poles because of the axis of the earth and the poles get less sunlight then the equator.
For the polar caps to melt, wouldn’t earth’s axis have to change? Then the earth’s polar caps would just reform at the new poles?
Another thing these great minds overlook is that around 10,000 years ago most of North America was under glaciers and now we are not.
How do they explain that when there were few humans and no SUV at the time?
I remember articles on this as far back as the late ‘70’s.
Oh, and articles on what would happen if the Yellowstone caldera blew up.
The thing is, there’s a market for clickbait content and not enough real news, or real news that’s “safe” to cover. Safe meaning it doesn’t involve a Democrat in bed with a live woman or a dead boy. If journalists were really journalists and not just somebody in their parent’s basement clad only in underwear, we’d have plenty of real stories. Whatever happened to the Democrat awaiting sentencing for repeatedly injecting drugs into unconscious black men until they died? I’d click on that.
Right.
Only getting the Jab and all subsequent Boosters and wearing 6 masks will prevent that.
“Could” means WAG.
Restart the doomsday clock.
We just got another 10 years.
yeah.. this is what happens during interglacial periods like we are in, the ice melts.
Only if you promise.
Coincidence that the BBB bill is being pushed by the climate change wackos in the Senate. The Green New Deal is far more dangerous than what may or may not happen in Antarctica. More fear propaganda from the MSM and the paid “science” shills.
the average sea level has risen by about 7 inches during the past hundred year but ...
the average sea level at coast lines has risen by less than 1 inch
hardly perceptible
in particular, for all the scare stories of the Fiji islands or other island nations being flooded, no, that’s hasn’t happened
as for the melting of ice over water, no, it doesn’t change sea level, melting of ice over land is another thing; it can change sea levels
problem is: ice over land has been accumulating in many places while it has been melting in other places
also: with the greening of the earth, more water has been captured by biomass
and: man has been storing lots of water in managing river and such
so, the net change in the average sea level has been modest and local conditions, to include what’s called “inter-glacial rebound,” has been the main cause of the rising or falling sea in certain places along coastlines
When floating ice melts, it does not raise the level of the water. This is elementary school science.
