Nature is unstoppable... so what's new? And the dire predictions of 10 feet level change over HUNDREDS of years... really? Global warming BS never ceases to amaze me... You will be dead before you realize it was total BS...

I don't want the grandkids blaming me for destroying the planet and walking away from the mess.

These doomsday conspiracy theories are getting old.

I wish the GW children would just face the fact that without mass starvation and war, we are not getting off fossil fuels. It's not happening. Until nuclear fusion is perfected along with usable hydrogen fuel cells, we will be burning massive amounts of fossil fuels to feed 8 billion people on the planet.

Unless you want to discuss cutting the population down drastically and quickly but that's an entire different conversation.

Wow ..... it happened so fast. Just last September, the articles from the Scientists were about the increasing Antarctic Ice and the ships that were stuck for weeks that were trying to see it.

Antarctic sea ice has grown to a record large extent for a second straight year, baffling scientists seeking to understand why this ice is expanding rather than shrinking in a warming world. - Washington Post

That is an amazing turn around in just 8 months .... 8 months of Winter. Unstoppable Melting.
I guess you don't know the difference between sea ice (frozen salt water) that has no effect on sea level rise, and land ice (fresh water ice) that will cause the ocean to rise...If all the ice covering Antarctica melted the sea would rise by 200 feet.

Now back to the Antarctica


Global: Antarctica Ice Sheet - April 2014

Antarctic sea ice coverage reached record levels for April, hitting 3.5 million square miles — the largest on record.
It was a cold summer down in Antarctica, with sea ice coverage growing about 43,500 square miles a day, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSDC). April 2014 beats the previous sea-ice coverage record from April 2008 by a whopping 124,000 square miles.

Carbon tax and green energy are two separate things. Tony Abbot did away with the carbon tax alright, but increased taxes on those earning over 180,000 plus increased taxes on gasoline....

Unbelievably selfish attitude ...I guess you have no children or grandchildren. Also the predictions are for a rise of one meter but by the end of THIS century....

The U.S. is a coastal nation with over 12,000 miles of coastline. With 53% of all Americans living in and around coastal cities and towns, it is important to understand the impact of climate-induced sea level rise on our nation. Previous studies have focused on a six-meter rise. The following study takes a more conservative approach, beginning with a sea level rise of just one meter. Architecture 2030: Nation Under Siege

Ok, you can go re-bury your head now.
