I thought Obama was going to fix this?

Does anyone find it particularly odd that the University of Arizona is doing this research? Maybe it’s just me?

They promised us warm weather, and ‘children would only read about snow’.

Let them deliver on that first.

I wish I had a nickel for everyone of these stupid predictions based upon unproven computer models ... I’d be wealthy beyond my wildest dreams.

Is there anyone left who still believes this stuff?

Predictive global warming models: Garbage in, garbage out.

I’m glad I got my geosciences degree from U of A when they were still doing meaningful research. No doubt they got a big bundle of Uncle Sam’s cash to continue to push Al Gore’s global warming crap. I feel sorry for the students who come out of there who are brainwashed with unscientific facts.

Bring it on. If every bit of glacial ice melted, there would be MORE arable land than there is now.

I can't wait to get my hands on some beachfront property in Greenland.

"According to the most recent sea-level-rise science, that's where we're heading," said lead researcher Jeremy L. Weiss of UA's department of geosciences. "Impacts from sea-level rise could be erosion, temporary flooding and permanent inundation."

Re: facepalm graphic.

Just think, those "hydrogen gas generator" automobile scam gadgetry threads will be back soon, too.

Have the so called “scientists” and their droves of loons ever gotten one of these apocalyptic predictions correct? Weren’t we already supposed to be underwater and hip deep in trash and flaming icecaps like 10 years ago?

How can anyone possibly take these people seriously? This is money wasted that could be used to cure diseases or fund useful research.

Damn, I’ll miss it - I’ll be dead already.

Remember, for the exalted one, Lord Obama, its "Together we thrive."

[FlingWingFlyer]

I think it’s one of those “Ocean Front Property In Arizona” things. Or it could be the freezing weather they experienced this winter. LOL! Those jackasses aren’t used to the cold.

Bravo Yankee Bravo Yankee, I will be long gone as well everyone, as the end times are here. He will appear in the clouds shinning like the sun, at the trumpets call.

"I thought Obama was going to fix this?"

Yes. According to Mr. Obama himself, the moment that "the seas began to recede" was in July of 2008.

I like when they use Venice as an illustration of the sea level already rising, as though the ocean can rise there without rising here. Pretty stupid stuff, batted about by losers who haven’t had a cause since the war in Vietnam ended...

They can get back to me when the first beachside hotel is flooded with non-storm, non-tsunami -related water.
