I looked at this too and it's not going to affect anything in the next 20 years (like house prices for resale!)


Nat. Geo is saying 11" to 38" by 2100. that's a big spread and it's big because it's all over the world and some areas will be more affected than others. So figure the 11" is probably right for Florida. I can't find the link but I read that too.

There is this online flood map that surfaces periodically in the news but notice that it always opens up at the 7 METER level! How many years...um centuries.. is that??? You can zoom in on Sarasota and track backwards to zero, but the it's ONLY set for meters. So your first level up is 1 meter, or 3 FEET.

Hmmm. Looks far worse than it is. Especially for people who just look at the 7 meter level and faint!

and just so they don't contradict themselves too often...
...NASA shows sea levels falling for the past two years

https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/sea-level/

The theory of CO2 goes back over 150 years...that means global warming theory goes back that far too
...seems to be the style to makes predictions of doom and gloom to keep people interested and money flowing

But in 150 years....not one prediction has come true

...takes a special kind of stupid

I find it so disappointing when people decide they know more than the experts.

Just look at the self proclaimed experts on this thread. >>SAD<<

...even more disappointing when people can't read and comprehend what they are reading

Even snopes says....yes, sea levels fell for 2 years

Since you think the experts know more.....name one prediction they have made that has come true in the past 150 years

Every year, we are 10 or 20 years away from doom.......

Despite fluctuations down as well as up, "the sea is not rising," he says. "It hasn't risen in 50 years." If there is any rise this century it will "not be more than 10cm (four inches), with an uncertainty of plus or minus 10cm". And quite apart from examining the hard evidence, he says, the elementary laws of physics (latent heat needed to melt ice) tell us that the apocalypse conjured up by
Al Gore and Co could not possibly come about.

The reason why Dr Mörner, formerly a Stockholm professor, is so certain that these claims about sea level rise are 100 per cent wrong is that they are all based on computer model predictions, whereas his findings are based on "going into the field to observe what is actually happening in the real world".

Too bad nobody predicted that low intelligence people would have the same access to information as well educated people.

To quote your words, enjoy your special kind of stupid.

That would be like saying that the Dow must not be rising because it lost 30 points in the past 12 hours. No matter than it's risen 9,000 in the past five years!

oh relax.....no one said it stopped forever, that's in your mind....only that it hasn't been rising for two years according to NASA's data

...and it's been rising at the same rate since the very first measurement over 150 years ago

All of these sea level rising topics should be consolidated into it's own subforum. They're everywhere.
