Scientists are warning that the West Antarctic ice sheet could collapse, potentially causing sea levels to rise more than 49 feet by 2500.
The study published in the journal Nature this week, cites the impact of greenhouse gas emissions over the coming decades. Collapsing Antarctic ice could cause sea levels to rise more than 3 feet by 2100, say co-authors Rob DeConto, a geoscientist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and David Pollard, a palaeoclimatologist at Pennsylvania State University in University Park.
If emissions continue unabated, the scientists warn, atmospheric warming will soon become a dominant driver of ice loss, with prolonged ocean warming delaying its recovery for thousands of years.

Well this appears to contradict the miracle fix brought on with the inauguration of Caliph Baraq....
Ain’t nobody got time for this crap.
Really?
49 feet? Over the whole jillion square miles of the seas’ surfaces? Pity the person who believes this stuff.
potentially causing sea levels to rise more than 49 feet by 2500
10 feet per century, 1 foot every 10 years, basically a whole whopping inch a a year.....
Or all the penguins might dive off the Antarctic ice sheet at once, causing a tsunami to wipe out Brazil.
Monkeys could fly from my butt.
2500, huh? Just slightly out of my “planning range”...
Like, Dude. Gnarly.
Here is a closer prediction from a source with a pretty good track record.
Revelation Chapter 12:
1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.

Previous Bible commentators have taken this as a symbolic vision about Israel (Mary) giving birth to Jesus, and marking the start of the 3 1/2 year Great Tribulation.
However, since “knowledge had increased”, we can use star charting programs such as Stellarium to see that this could be a literal “great sign” in heaven.
The constellation “Virgo”, the Virgin, has always been identified with Mary the Mother of Jesus. The nine stars of Leo, the Lion (of Judah), form a “garland” above her head.
Jupiter has always been identified as the “King” star. It is striped (by His stripes we are healed) and has a large, red spot (they pierced His side).
Here is the sequence of events regarding the Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Virgo, Leo, Mercury, Mars and Venus
Mon, 21 November 2016 = 20th of Cheshvan, 5777
Jupiter enters Virgo (the Virgin’s Womb) crossing line from Spica to Porrima
Sat, 28 January 2017 = 1st of Sh’vat, 5777
Jupiter retrograde motion begins inside Virgo.
Sat, 10 June 2017 = 16th of Sivan, 5777
Jupiter prograde motion resumes inside Virgo
Thu, 17 August 2017 = 25th of Av, 5777
Total Solar eclipse across America (Charleston to Portland)
Sun, 10 September 2017 = 19th of Elul, 5777
Jupiter crosses Heze — Spica line. Virgin gives birth? Conjunction Regulus and Mercury
Wed, 20 September 2017 = 29th of Elul, 5777
New Moon, Venus — Regulus conjunction
Sun, 24 September 2017 = 4th of Tishrei, 5778
Sun at Virgo’s shoulders (clothed), the Moon is at her feet, Mercury, Mars, Venus are added to Leo’s nine stars as Virgo’s 12-star ‘garland’
The great sign in the heaven is complete. This formation has not happened in the past 6000 years and won’t happen again for at least another 2000 years.
Luke 21
25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
26 “men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 “Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 1023). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

Graphic says 23 September 2017, as it depends on where you say Virgo’s feet are. Besides, no one knows the day or the hour.
And the Detroit Lions COULD win the Super Bowl.
The solutions are to prosecute people who don’t believe in global warming, and to tax people so that lots of dollars can be used to stop the rise of the oceans.
Wonder how much they got in grant money to churn out this BS.
Exactly. Al Rokker can't even do a 5 day forecast with certainry so how the heck can these bozos do a 2500 year one???
49 feet? Over the whole jillion square miles of the seas surfaces? Pity the person who believes this stuff.
360 million square kilometers is the coverage of the oceans, X 49 feet in meters which is 15 meters...
360,000,000,000 Meters square * 15 meters = 5,400,000,000,000
5 trillion, 400 billion CUBIC meters of extra water....
is needed....
An ice shelf is already in the water...
These alarmists are NUTS!
