If all the Earth's land ice melted, sea levels would rise over 200 feet. So what would that mean for the United States' coastlines?

Assuming the rise of 200 feet doesn’t cause the oceanic crust to sink or compress.

The downside?

Millions of libs would be flooded out. The stupid ones who remain in those large coastal cities could drown.

Still, the downside?

The same ideology that pushes global warming or climate change is also the one pushing to reduce Earth’s population by a few billion.

It would seem that global warming or climate change could reduce the population, thus giving the Libs what they want.

Of course, these are the same minds that thought replacing paper bags with plastic bags was some sort of genius.

Okay people, come down out there, we will not drown if the ice melts in the oceans. Fill a glass up with ice and water to the brim and make sure the ice sticks above the top. Wait for ice to melt and guess what you have? A full glass of water that has not changed level. Hmmmm.

Now if all the ice melts on land we have a different story but when a lib says the seas will rise due to Global Warming just show them this trick and tell them to STFU.

Rush’s low information crowd is also convinced the ice covering the North Pole area can affect sea level if it melts. I always have to use the glass of iced tea comparison to explain it has no effect on sea level at all.

I watched the video. Even if all of this were true, I see absolutely no downside. Besides, I’ll be long dead and if my beloved bride is still alive, well, we live on a mountain top. ;>)

TIP: If you know a storm is on the way, you can run, you can hide........ or learn to dance in the rain.

I am a dance in the rain kinda guy. ;>)

Didn’t Algore publish a photo a while ago that purported to show what the world would look like with all the ice melted, and it had Cuba completely gone? People in the know laughed their buns off because the pompous one had neglected to research the fact that Cuba has a mountain range, the Sierra Maestra, with a highest point of 6,476 ft.

That is why they are already infiltrating into Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Nebraska, [skipping Kansas — who would want to live there?], Missouri, etc.

“Produced by Alex Kuzoian. Narrated by Graham Flanagan.”

The narrator sounds a lot like the liberal Fox News fruitcake, Sheppard Smith.

Hey - my home will become beach-front property! Nice.

Otherwise, what kind of propaganda is this?

Looking at the producer’s background he appears to be a useful idiot. Liberal, atheist, LGBT friendly, and willing to make video presentations that the left accepts at face value without checking the source or the facts. No surprise there. He’d have you believe all oceanfront cities will be underwater despite what the real data tells us but facts dont matter with liberals, only the agenda.

I am a skeptic too (it will never all melt, not even close) but the Antarctic has as much area as the USA and averages over 6,000 feet thick, above sea level.

Let’s see what the Earth looks like when the Sun dies. That is more of a certainty.
