If all the ice on Greenland melts it would raise sea levels by about 23 feet....Antarctica melting would add an additional 200 foot rise in ocean levels, but this would take thousands of years, even while global temperatures continue to increase.

I wonder if these climate studies are from the same thinkers that propose gun control, free healthcare,
and homosexual marriage.
All ideas that we should embrace without further resistance.

Wrong ...

Sea ice covers over 9.6 million square miles of the earth and obviously sea ice is frozen sea water so you need a huge water supply to freeze first ... which can only come from a ocean.

Yes ... they are ... which explains why the argument against gun rights is full of misinformation and flat out lies ... the usual radical progressive liberal argument tactic

Do you think if you say these lies over and over again they will come true?

Why do the doomsayers think people will listen to what they say?

Time and again their predictions have fallen flat.

some actual facts about sea level rise...


Sea Level rise has followed the same trend for nearly 200 years.
over the past 50 years there is ZERO trend in global hydrology (that would include both flooding and drought)

No trend. none. nada. zip. zilch.

Now that's an inconvenient truth!
