Feel the Burn?
There is not enough ice or snow on this planet that could raise the ocean levels to those predicted amounts. The north pole itself is nothing but a giant ice cube floating in the Arctic sea and if it would totally melt, there would be no change whatsoever in sea levels......Archimedes Principle
And the Antarctic is so fricking cold, annual average temperature being -47 F, if it were to melt, that would indicate we were on a direct course heading towards the sun and the alleged rising sea levels would be the least of our problems......LOL!
The loons are loons. Virginia Beach has beach erosion because that’s the way the currents work. When I lived in Norfolk, we’d go out to Sandbridge after a big storm to see if any of the houses had disappeared.
FALSE! The oceans are NOT rising faster than at any point in the last 28 centuries. This reads like communist propaganda or Democrats (or alchemists) falsely claiming that human emissions of greenhouse gases are primarily responsible.
Too much money is being given to people pretending to be "scientists."
Effin joke of a premise.
I went to Carmel, CA last week and San Francisco the week before, stopping in Half Moon Bay for some clam chowder.
The waters edge looks to be where it has always been and not one article from local papers saying different.
LED’s and using only one sheet of toilet paper...come on people...its for the climate!
2800 years is nothing to a geologist. It’s even a short time for a climatologist.
These guys kill me with their panic.
Yes. True. But let's mix in some science and math for them and extrapolate an expectation that we might live to measure. For the sake of our data, we'll use the lower of their prediction. 2100 is in 84 years. That means the sea level will rise by .0357 feet per year, or .428 Inches. This means in 10 years we can expect the sea level to rise by 4.28 inches. That is measurable.
Now let's look to the past. Assuming some sort of uniform progression, we must assume that the sea level is about 4.28 inches higher than just 10 years ago. At that rate, the sea level was about 357' lower about 10,000 years ago. But I assume the author rounded to 400 years since he isn't very smart and he knows the exact timing of the peak ice age is hard to determine.
That is where this pea brained scientist came up with his number. No BS, they are THAT stupid and simplistic to put propaganda out there on behalf of Man Made Global Warming Nonsense.
More glow-baloney.
A house across the street from where my folks were living fell in during a Nor'Easter in either 1988 or 1989.
I know you are being sarcastic, but there are really a number of factors that will cause sea levels to rise.
Most specifically, some believe that earth was hit by a comet in the Canadian ice fields some 12,600 years ago. The heat and subsequent fires melted glaciers in a week. Which was followed by a brief return to an ice age.
The universe balances itself out.
I think it should be nice to go visit the Appalachian islands some day. lol
I once lived on an island that was 6 feet above high tide...still is.
There’s pretty strong evidence some great big, hot space rock di make impact. Drilling foundations in the area is a nightmare. The nickel deposits rock, though.
He stopped the HOPE, big time. Just ask the unemployed.
On the bright side the east and west coasts will be under water. Then maybe a republican can win a national election.
