when you get to digging around the rocks in the midwest you find all kinds of fossils of small sea animals, so apparently rising sea levels is nothing new, but I will grant you, that was before man, or very few men, now we could change things so fast that many of our animal friends may not be quick enoiugh to adapt, and that is what worries me. I see them moving north. Maybe they know something we don't. But as a human I think it is my obligation to care for them. Like the lady (my ex girlfriend) said, "Do what is good for the earth and everything else will take care of itself."
Below see the abstract for the study... first sentence.... and then the second sentence. simulations using a model. a model which of course assumes man made co2 causes warming. the problem with that model is that there is no science showing man made co2 causes warming... only models. Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet stores water equivalent to 58 m in global sea-level rise. We show in simulations using the Parallel Ice Sheet Model that burning the currently attainable fossil fuel resources is sufficient to eliminate the ice sheet. http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/1/8/e1500589.full
GW is panic engendering speculation with trappings of science. It's very, very political and little else. Jerry Brown is blaming the fires in California on GW when they are in a drought. They are also mismanaging their water terribly because they let environmentalists run roughshod over them. I think that God is punishing them for being such queer encouragers [apostates beyond redemption] as well but hey, that could be just me...
No, there are a lot of other deluded, ignorant, right wing homophobic Christian morons out there that see science as the enemy. Lots.
the chart speculates cummulative co2 emissions will track with seal leve rise. that 2c target is the set point for the speculation.
Prediction of ice-free Arctic by 2015 or 2016 is completely wrong http://wattsupwiththat.com/2015/09/...-sea-ice-still-there-no-record-low-this-year/
" Study Predicts Antarctica Ice Melt if All Fossil Fuels Are Burned" Then what are we waiting for? Let's get crackin'!
