Rising Sea Levels Can't Be Stopped! |
2012-07-06 |
[Rooters] Unstoppable, because even with aggressive reductions in carbon - and the resulting slowing or dropping of average temperatures - the ... [drum roll] warming sea water expands, and as it mixes with the cooler water, it keeps expanding! "Though sea-level rise cannot be stopped for at least the next several hundred years, with aggressive mitigation it can be slowed down, and this would buy time for adaptation measures to be adopted," the scientists added. Or buy your funeral plot on high ground. Adaptation occurs quickly. We can move people out of the Maldives in a year -- send them all to Pakistan. Or Somalia. Or Yemen. They might prefer to take their chances staying on the islands. Low-lying areas can be evacuated and repurposed much more quickly than the oceans will rise. |

#9 Sure, swksvolFF, you're all for rising sea level, so you can sell your house as beach front property. |

#8 The sea isn't rising. The land is falling. And that's because of global warming too! And fracking, don't forget fracking. and Bush. |

#7 There hasn't been any global sea level rise... Oh, sure! Drag facts and data into it. Once you do that, you have to admit there hasn't been any warming for a decade, except in the fevered imagination and cooked data of alleged scientists. Stuff like that will get you kicked out of the Enviro-Alarmist Movement. |

#5 Well, someone sure stopped them. There hasn't been any global sea level rise in over a year and if you go back before a jump in 2009, they were pretty much steady from 2005 to 2009. Data from U. Colorado. |

#4 Our media is a corrupt carnival barker for leftist bullcrap. No one in the media put an ice cube in a glass of water when they were 8? All idiots. |

#3 Can't be stopped? Pish! A good ice age will drop sea levels 300 meters in the (geologically relative) blink of an eye. What do you think the sea levels have been rising from? |

#1 Just think, by the time we need worry, the Oceans will Boil over, NOT a problem. |
