Let the free market decide if they want to attempt a stop rising sea levels or not. I can guarantee that an ice age would have far more catastrophic effects to the economy than a warmer earth. A warmer earth means a longer growing season, doesn't sound like something you want to stop unless you live near sea level.
Even if you live by the sea there is very little to be concerned about. In the last 130 years sea levels have increased by 195 mm (7.7 inches). That is an average of 1.5 mm increase per year. Which means that for sea levels to increase by just one foot (304.8 mm), it will take another 203.2 years.
Yale is a highly respected university....What do you have?
Just verifying that blogs can be perfectly acceptable. There sure has been a lot of complaints about them lately. I guess some would prefer to not read things that offends them.
Stop rising sea levels... as if humans actually could.
Yep, an ice age would do far more damage. Unfortunately, it looks as if this is where we might be headed.
I know, lets dredge the oceans. We can build a mountain range in Nebraska and fill in the Grand Canyon. That should lower sea levels by a millimeter or two.
Volcanoes affect climate. "Volcanic winter" is an historical and observable fact. Man pumps crud into the air on a more regular and sustained basis - and man's crud makes the climate warmer. What we need is more volcanoes to offset global warming.
Volcanoes are the only thing capable of putting massive amounts of sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere, where it can effect the global climate. All the pollution humans produce is confined to the troposphere where it is washed out of the atmosphere in a matter of weeks, and has absolutely no effect on the global climate.
Anthropological Global Warming fanatics are too stupid to comprehend that a colder climate means more death, disease, famine, and destruction. A warmer climate is far more preferable.

You need to redo your math once again, as the current sea level rise is 3.2 mm per year and the rate is increasing. Why do you continue to post out dated info?

Such ignorance on display...CO2 stays in the atmosphere for up to several hundred thousand years.
Because of idiotic deniers who believe sites like Watts bull crap
What does Watts' site have to do with alarmists scientists publishing papers acknowledging the pause?
