How about a huge NOW problem with companies like Baer/Monsanto and DOW and Dupont poisoning our water and our food supply and wiping out bees thus directly threatening our food supply? Maybe that should be put ahead of global warming which is projecting problems 50 years down the road with little more than conjecture.

China and the developing world are going to increase their CO2 emissions and there's not one thing we can do about it...

If those governments took drastic action to cap CO2 the people would revolt and throw them out of power.

Earth is warming, correct.

Is it a huge problem? Probably not. Warming = more CO2, = more vegetation = more food.
Earth's climate always is changing.
We are powerless in the grand scheme.
We are going to have to learn to live with higher temps.

The climate always changes. Try solving that.

Sea level rise, explained


"Rising seas is one of those climate change effects. Average sea levels have swelled over 8 inches (about 23 cm) since 1880, with about three of those inches gained in the last 25 years. Every year, the sea rises another .13 inches (3.2 mm)."


Not in 100 years, but every year.

An unproven theory.

There is no solution.

The greatest purported threat of "climate change" is sea level rise.

You have repeatedly refused to acknowledge or accept the reality of the peer-reviewed scientific articles demonstrating that sea level always rises 3 meters to 14 meters in every Inter-Glacial Period, even when CO2 levels are 260-270 ppm CO2.

Even if you manage to reduce CO2 levels to 260 ppm CO2, you cannot possibly guarantee that sea levels won't rise another 3 meters to 14 meters in spite of your heroic efforts to reduce CO2.

I am truly sorry you built your cities-on-the-sea before you had a freaking clue how the Earth works and that there are Glacial and Inter-Glacial Periods.

However, nothing need be done. Government intervention is neither required nor desired. The Free Market will readily handle sea level rise.
