To me this is the strongest evidence of global warming....

Sea levels on Earth are rising several times faster than they have in the past 2,800 years and are accelerating because of man-made global warming, according to new studies.

Sea levels are rising faster than they have in 2,800 years - Technology & Science - CBC News

Until the 1880s and the world's industrialization, the fastest seas rose was about three to four centimetres (1 to 1.5 inches) a century, but today the rate of rise is more than a foot per century.

That is already causing problems, which will only get worse in the future.

You can forget the lifeboats, but you'd better have them ready for your grandchildren.

let's see: a foot per century rise, and I'm about 1,250 above sea level (although we can see the Pacific from our lanai).


I'm good.

I live in the middle of an ancient inland sea bed here in the middle of Kommiefornia.

Most of the affected areas will be ******* Strong Holds.

Bring it!

Let's see, I'm at about 4,000 feet.

Yup, I can leave the scuba gear in the locker and just handle it with a snorkel, mask and fins...

China heard you. They will get right on it. When the air clears and they can see their way to do something.

No guilt, no new taxes, no opportunity to outlaw current technologies...

What fun would that be?
