Yep, that one inch rise will devastate the earth. Better buy some mountaintop property.

Are the liberal chicken littles at it again about global wobbling?

If that huge shelf of ice in Antarctica falls into the ocean, it could raise sea level 10 feet in some places.

Chan Lowe’s Call UP memo notified him it is Time to again promote this Dem Lib Agenda item.

From Wiki:
Between 1870 and 2004, global average sea levels rose 17 cm (6.7 in).5 From 1950 to 2009, measurements show an average annual rise in sea level of 1.7 ± 0.3 mm with satellite data showing a rise of 3.3 ± 0.4 mm from 1993 to 2009,6 a faster rate of increase than previously estimated.7 It is unclear whether the increased rate reflects an increase in the underlying long-term trend.8
By that estimate I will have water front property in about 150 years. I currently live at 100 ft above sea level and the rate was 1/8 inch a year. But as the article goes on to say they really dont know what is going to happen in the future they only have data from the past. Good indicator but still just how far back do you want to look for a trend and how long of a cycle will you find and where are we “now” in any cycle.
Hey, we should be getting away from fossil fuels dependence. While it is the most abundant and the most “accessible” and the most “adaptable” energy source today. It will not supply the energy needed in the future.
How can we “go where no man has gone before” if we have to fire up the V-8 to get there?

Florida has at one time(s) been under water, now they have sea fossils on high land in many places. The seashore has also been 50 miles or more farther offshore than now…..All long before Man was on Earth…..AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming) is nothing more than an Liberal agenda item to control people. Along with Obamacare, gun control and government provided free stuff.

Onguard: “high land” in Florida IS a pretty funny joke! 345 feet above sea level! Having lived over 4,000 feet most of my life, while in the Army, saw the sign for the first time and we all (westerners) laughed hysterically!

Hey, let’s face it. If it is in the news it must be right. After all, I have never heard of the news being wrong. Ha, Ha, Ha! Some studies indicate possible global warming, while others indicate possible global cooling. Yet, all you hear about are the ones showing a global warming. That is science fiction for you.

For someone who lives in a chain of Volcanos on dust that nothing worthwhile grows without major intervention I say your are in more danger than Floridians. If you are on the West side of the volcanos you have other problems.

NO studies indicate cooling. You made that up.

Really doc? You don’t read all the latest publications?
Not that I agree or disagree but here is one article.
