[Lonesome in Massachussets]

A two foot increase in sea level would make rivers run more slowly, and flood a lot of swampy areas, and increase the effects of flooding. New Orleans is probably off the board. I doubt that any glacier that size will ever melt in one lifetime, but a two foot rise in sea levels is nothing to sneeze at.

Exactly, this refusal to believe in any sort of climate change or effects from said change is not logical.

A good portion of south Florida is 3 feet above seal level…or less.

I can remember …in my life when the Ohio river would freeze over solid enough to walk on. Has not happened again in almost 50 years.

If the increased water supply results in more flowers blooming and thus more pollen, then some people will sneeze at it.

No trend in Antarctic Sea Ice. Highest level in 45 years was in 2013.

So build dykes. It’ll give the chronically unemployed with prison builds gainful employment laying down pilings and building dykes on top of them, and then routinely maintaining the dykes. It’s good enough for the Dutch. It’ll be good enough for New Orleans, New York, Los Angeles and Charleston. If you mix coffee grounds into the cement, it makes it extra strong, I’ve heard.

They get to lie to me once:

After that I ignore everything the liars spout about “disappearing glaciers”.
