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've been hearing such predictions for about 25 years now. That's 1/4 of the way to these disaster scenarios, and we seem to be doing just fine. Scam artists making doomsday predictions need to come up with more compelling material.

I thought they were supposed to be uninhabitable in another five or six years, if we believe what we heard back in the 1980-1990’s...

Yeah, right...and in the 70s they predicted a new ice age, that there would be no rain forests left by 2000, everyone would be starving, air would be unbreathable and water undrinkable...so send us money to “study” the problem.

So when ice in water melts, the sea level remains exactly the same.”
Oh. Never mind.

These dipshits can’t accurately predict the weather two days from now, but they KNOW what’s going to happen in 100 years? Right!
Planned a hunting trip to Missouri based upon the weather forecast in two weeks, which called for highs in the mid-50s to low-60s and lows in the high-30s and low-40s. Spent two weeks there and highs were in the mid-70s to low-80s, with lows in the mid-60s to low-70s, with the exception of two days. Give me a friggin’ break!

WATERWORLD....
After the melting of the polar ice caps, most of the globe is underwater. Some humans have survived, and even fewer still, notably the Mariner (Kevin Costner), have adapted to the ocean by developing gills

Can we please arrange for most of the residents of those cities to still be there at the peak of the flooding?

Good point. what most of the liars do not state is the fact that we are currently in an Interglacial Warm Period of an Ice Age that has lasted for several million years. The only given in climatology is the fact that eventually the current interglacial warm period will end and the continental Ice Sheets will again advance over North America and Europe. Hopefully, that will be many thousands of year from now. In short, Ice is the real threat not heat and there is not a damn thing anyone can do about it.

That 0 inches a year rise in sea levels weve been experiencing is bound to start adding up sooner or later. It adds up quickly for very large values of zero...

Anyone can go to the Hadley Climate Research Unit’s web site and get the data for sea levels over recorded history. It is then a simple task to mathematically model this time series and project it. When one does this one finds the data supports an estimated sea level rise of 1 inch over the next 100 years. Big deal!

Right. It goes up 0” one year and twice that the next. Before you know it, it adds up.
