Goes to show get one's facts straight before sounding like chicken little.....

Ice sheets retreating due to global warming often suddenly stabilise for "decades to centuries" no matter that the warming is still going on, scientists have found. The new research would seem likely to have an impact on forecasts seeking to predict sea-level rise in coming times.

As the most up-to-date predictions are not very alarming anyway, it could be that sea level rises just aren't that big a worry, over say the next century anyway.

Ice sheets may stabilise for centuries, regardless of warming ? The Register

The global warmers have retreated to their snow caves. Nobody is buying their nonsense anymore. They will come back in ten years pushing an ice age coming. Probably due to overuse of AC and try and create some trading scheme for freon use.

So, science is good when it says something you think agrees with you when it actually doesn't? Ice builds in the Antarctic don't discount ice melts in the Northern Hemisphere.

The global warming doomsayers aren't using science.

There is nowhere in that report that says seas will stop rising, nor does it make any claims about if, when or which glaciers will stop retreating...You are only seeing what you want to see in that report....The fact is that most glaciers are shrinking and some have completely disappeared... Global glacier retreat

Glaciers in the French Alps have lost a quarter of their area in the past 40 years, according to new research.BBC News - French Alpine glaciers in retreat

The Alps ' glaciers are in retreat at an alarming rate due to rising temperatures. Alps' Glaciers Are Retreating Rapidly

Let me help you... (from one of the embedded URL's which you didn't bother to read):

Quote:
A new, first-of-its-kind comprehensive scientific analysis has shown that there is little to fear from rising sea levels driven by global warming. The likelihood is that the 21st century will see rises much like those of the 20th, and even in the worst possible case sea levels in 2100 will be far below those foreseen by alarmists.

There's a catch, of course: on a timescale of many centuries, serious alarmist-type rises in sea levels are to be expected. Even if humanity ceases all carbon emissions right now, in the year 3000AD the seas will have risen by 1.1m, according to Professor Philippe Huybrechts and his team.



New science: SEAS WILL RISE due to CO2 ... but not for centuries ? The Register

I'm still not sure how putting more heat trapping gases into the atmosphere doesn't equate to more heat being trapped in the atmosphere? If any climate change deniers could answer that question, you may be able to change my mind.

So you claim you looked at the site and it didn't say what the OP suggest then turn around and say you now didn't read it. Well which is it?

Yeah, I read it the first time it was posted, researched the source, and rejected it as cherry picked nonsense.....Regurgitating it doesn't make it any less nonsense...
