That's because you live so far inland you have no idea your maps are the creations of bone heads. I live less than 1 hours ride to the sea. The same one i dug clams in as a lad. There is NO sea level increase period. if there was the road that goes to where my dads place still is, would be under salt water. Dad's gone, the property was sold but it's still there, so it the cork tree, and so is the salt water. The channels have all changed though. We are talking 55 years i can recall. No higher water today than there was then.

Sea level is sea level unless you have some trick to stack water on itself.

In time to man terms man won't make 2 ticks on the clock of earth. We are the only creature that doesn't belong here, and we have over populated Earth a sin Earth will care for shortly in terms of Earth Clock time.

The Democrats have already promised the value of lives off for the next 4 generations of yet to be born in the USA.

That's another silly man thing. The whole idea of money and man laws is just stupid. No other creatures need or use such non-sense period.

I think you missed the point. Why would he buy a house which would be "under water" in "10 years?"

The truth behind that is more like with out hunters PAYING and making world govts stop poaching bla bla, but the fact is you non hunters pay for nothing and we hunters pay for it all. And right down to search and rescue of non hunters.

So if Al Gore buys a fancy house that must mean the world's climatological community must be . . . what? On the take? Lying? A bunch of idiots?
Al's 6 or so houses add up to a small city's worth of power draw, and his jets / limo's add to that powder draw carbon footprint in such a way as to make him look like a FOOL, and since you seem to be on Al's side of the thing you must assume to take some blame for that fool.

Of course you could quit exhaling any CO2 You could also get off the power grid, and walk everywhere instead of drive.

At one point scientist wanted to blow up the MOON! people give what is called science too much credit sometimes.

It was around the year 1862 or so when science figured out a surgeon could save lives better if he washed his bloody hands and changed his bloody apron between patients.


Science is new and has been wrong more often than it has been correct. People act like a 100 years of quasi science means something.

I did miss any news on the zinc pellets. What was that for?

Who is killing bald eagles now................the global warming windmill crew. So you still haven't explained why San Diego isn't getting snowfall since warm air causes snow. I'm waiting............

Sea level is definitely rising even if you cannot see it....It has risen close to 10 inches since 1870...Form 1950 to 2009 it was rising at an average rate of 1.7 mm per year.... The average rate of rise since 1993 has almost doubled to 3.3 mm per year. At this rate the level will rise a further 7 inches from 1993 till 2047 barring any change in the rate of warming or any snowball effect. Unfortunately a snowball effect is almost a certainty.

There is nothing to care about. Earth has been through a lot more than evil man. Liberals have just been sent into a tizzy and think SOMETHING has to be done. LOL. Whenever liberals want SOMETHING done it never helps anything or anybody just costs a pile of money. Why aren't you on one of those iron harvesting boats if your so worried? I remember reading they think dumping 100 tons of iron dust would help cool the planet. I mean all those ships sunk during WWII by evil man should have cooled the planet a couple degrees I'd think. See how stupid it all is?

Why don't you globals ever wonder about the 2K nuclear bombs that were set off in nuke tests in the last decade? Oh because if that had anything to do with it you couldn't steal folks money I forgot.
