   Could be worse, he could be sitting at the SOUTH pole!

   I predict that the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets will melt
   before the year 2100. The oceans will rise by many meters (yards). I’m 66, I won’t live to see it.

   Have to disagree, at the South Pole dirt underlies the melting ice.

   It will only be when land ice slides off into the water then you will start seeing sudden rises in ocean levels. It could happen from Greenland by a few feet if there is a sudden rush of melting ice into the Atlantic. A release of ammonia hydrides into vapor would boost the warming considerably and quickly.

   Millions of Years ago the majority of North America was under water.

   Millions of Years ago, from the New England States to Indiana was one large Glacier.

   Since therw was zero industry millions of years ago, what cause the North American Glacier to melt?

   In the mid 1970’s it was bitter cold, and the experts predicted another Ice Age

   The ice caps are increasing in size. And have been for a few years running. We are going into another cooling cycle.

   Who needs scientist’s who specialize in earth and its atmosphere when you can learn “all you need to know” from your fellow poster.

   A couple of problems with your empty headed whistling tigger. But let me start by I am stunned to learn you don’t think the earth is only 6000 years old

   Lets pretend climate change is not man made as you imply – we still need to figure out how 350 million people are going to live in this new environment. That would have to ignore the huge mountain of evidence it is man man in this case but sticking your head up your tail & screaming LALALALALA is not helpful.

   This old “in the 70s every one predicted a new ice age” trope has been around for a bit now but nobody can show a single peer-reviewed scientific study that made that claim.

    Only liberals believe or accuse others of believing ‘the earth is 6000 years old’.
    I believe the universe was formed billion of years ago. Since that time untold galaxies have formed and many have run their time and burnt out. Black holes exist. The earth has naturally warmed and cooled since it was formed formed as a part of our solar system from parts of a supernova.
    30,0000 years ago Northern America was covered with 300 feet of glaciers. They naturally melted giving us the land we have now. The earth was far warmer during the dinosaur age. What caused that? Surely not dinosaurs or man.
    Man made global warming is a religion. I choose not to believe the climate is not effected by man. But then again the Godless Liberals who believe they are the ultimate beings of the universe can change anything at a whim, and can reverse anything by making new taxes.

    Bull. There were a few moronic magazine articles that were the usual airhead science reporting we have come to expect from the media. It was NOT bitter cold, and most scientists thought the ice age predictions were BS. Don’t believe everything people tell you just because it conforms to your beliefs.

    We’ve been through all this time and time and time again, and it never makes an impression. I say we ignore the people who can’t manage any new information and get on with dealing with the problem.

    But finance still rules the universe. Even when its underwater.

    Of course we’ve learned a lot since then, you realize.

    Ice caps increasing in size? Hmmmm… Not according to what I’ve read.
