#3 What about the NASA alert that an asteroid is going to impact the Pacific off California in 2036?

I don't think there's any need to worry about "Low lying areas", worry about floods (Tsunamis) in the High Sierras.

#5 Learn to swim.
Cuz I'm praying for rain and I'm praying for tidal waves I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna watch it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.

#12 Has anyone ever done any physical evaluation of how much energy it would take to actually release the water in the ice caps? It takes one calorie of energy to heat one cubic centimeter of water one degree celsius. There is an estimated 100,000 cubic MILES of ice locked up in the Greenland icecap, at a temperature of -45C. My math skills are terrible, but I think there are a HUGE number of cubic centimeters in a single cubic mile, and to heat each one of them at LEAST 45 degrees warmer than it is now is going to take a HUGE amount of heat. It's a shame so many of our "climate change scientists" have so poor an education.
