Newsmax ^ | November 28, 2016 | Newsfront

Posted on 11/29/2016 7:52:29 AM PST by kevcol

New York City and other coastal cities will reportedly be under water within a century – inundated by flooding from a fast-melting polar ice sheet.

It is not a question of if, but when a flood of biblical proportion will make cities hugging coastlines around the world uninhabitable, Ohio State associate professor Ian Howat told The Sun.

Maybe they should build a wall — a flood wall!

Open your borders, man! All those poor immigrant H2O molecules are just looking for a better life. And those poor innocent fish that are brought in by the water, well, they didn't choose to come here, they were brought here!

Ice is less dense, but because it is less dense, some of the ice is above the water level.

So when ice in water melts, the sea level remains exactly the same.

You can check this yourself by putting some ice in a glass of water and marking the water level before and after the ice melts.

An associate professor, not even a full professor.

This means he only recently completed grad school. Most likely did no research himself, and is just mouthing off what he read in a text journal.

This would put a lot of leftist cities out of business until the next Ice Age.

They could relocate their refugees in what they like to call “flyover” country and learn about being in a truly diverse landscape full of hated conservatives.

“New York City and other coastal cities will reportedly be under water within a century – inundated by flooding from a fast-melting polar ice sheet. “

I’m game. How much is it going to cost to fix, who gets that money and if they accidently overcool the planet, what is the risk mitigation plan?

They had 20 years to work on this. Where is their plan?

And I recall Dr. Paul Erlich’s 1968 book, titled “The Population Bomb,”

which warned of a coming ice age, mass starvation across the globe, polluted waterways etc.

Now less than 50 years hence, globull warming is the “catastrophe” which will yield the greatest power to government elites?

I put my money where my mouth is, and I live less than ten feet above sea level.

How many deadlines are these luddites going to set for themselves? They’ve already missed a couple of dozen. At least this time they’ve set one so far out that a majority of people won’t live to see it.
