It seems a lot of people don't understand that significant sea level rise is a prediction for the future based upon the continued burning of fossil
fuels in increasing amounts and the subsequent warming of the atmosphere and oceans. To date, the rise has been small but it will accelerate and
problems are beginning to appear.

And there are examples of coastal communities that have existed for a long time that are now in peril. Currently, there are coastal communities in
Alaska that are disappearing. Google it.

Climate change can have a myriad of contributing factors....the effect of human behaviour being one range of factors.
We won't even mention the plastic islands floating in the oceans...
different forms of pollution created by people (heat, sound, human detritus...)....
Whoops, I just said that out loud...
In the meantime I am just finishing a basement flood restoration project....flooding due to spring melt run-off in March....most snow here in 27
years....frozen ground didn't allow drainage tile to do its job...
So, it's not just global warming....it's a range of climate/environmental changes...

Gravity is a given....jump up and you come down.
Not so much with oceans rising and inundating the fruited plain is it?

That's all anyone is saying motoman......
And shutting off well heads, pipelines, banning automobiles, oak burning fireplaces and other "off the wall" solutions.....and taxing everything from
that well head to a tire disposal fee will "maybe" lower global temps by .01%
Holy cow......they may even come after your dirt moto......the horror yes?

And due to the enormous fluctuations of Mother Nature and her oft ill temper, that may all change in the out years.
Fact is, no one really knows....it's a "model" driven guess at this point.

when i was a kid in the 70's we were warned about the coming ice age ......from scientists. Soooooo what happened..... it seems there is a lot of
money to be made by alarming people into giving you their money by fear.... through the form of taxes. Global warming is a big money grab.

Mr or Ms caj13.....blissful ignorance can be easily confused with blissful allegiance to what your told, no matter what yes?
Scientists are a fine lot and I respect them and have admiration for their accomplishments throughout the years.
For the many varied and sundry applications these scientists have become involved in over the years, the one basic principle of finding a solution is
a best guess scenario.....using computer models and various tools such as maybe, a bunsen burner.
Finding a solution to cure malaria was by trial and error of many different chemical compounds, until a concoction was deemed worthy of being called a
"cure" based on real world results.
And so it goes with scores of other solutions into the daily lives of humans and even critters. All well and good.
The climate is an ever changing phenomena over uncertain periods of time. No one can control it, change it or alter it.....it is what it is.
The universe is so vast and beyond anyone's knowledge to fathom it all, that attempting a tweak of it seems fruitless and at a cost that would likely
be beyond what any normal human being could even fathom.
Ever since the anemometer was introduced, along with other "weather" prediction and measurement devices, the one thing that has stood the test of time
is that Mother Nature calls the shots. All day, everyday.
Perhaps earth has a finite life...no one knows do they?
Al Gore became wildly wealthy by being a climate change hawk and wanted to radically change the very industries that allowed him to proceed in
amassing that wealth....namely energy and their sources, and by all reporting, he is consuming the very ire of which he rails on about, at a rate
that far exceeds what would be considered as holding a rabid concern about climate change.
Do as is say and not as I do seems appropo in this instance agreed?
It's all a guess at this point.......a reasoned guess to be sure, but nonetheless a guess.
You may want to consider the time tested and valid phrase of..
Don't mess with Mother Nature.

I remember the new ice age predictions! The theory was more popular with the news media than with the scientific community, so....more hype than
science.
What is interesting is that some of the scientists were predicting that it would start with a rapid melting of the polar ice caps, which would change
the nature of the ocean currents. The result was supposed to steer much warmer, moister air into the northern latitudes and higher elevations,
causing the ice sheets to grow back with a vengeance!
So far, the global warming and the new ice age factions have evidence to point to in support of their theory.
I think I need to do more research on this dichotomy of opinion, but I am going to need some of that grant money!

Recall this direct quote Ged?
"So, it's not just global warming....it's a range of climate/environmental changes"
That is all were saying....you know, us wretched climate deniers and uneducated, ill informed dolts.
Gun guys?......you must have me confused with someone else Ged.
I own one.....and it's a thousand miles away from me right now
But even if it was close at hand.....I promise you safe passage aboard your moto anytime you make it down Loreto way oK....
Heck......beers on me if you promise not to bring JJJ or the Goat ok?

Yes sir Mr Ged.....we all have different perspectives on how Mother Nature responds to ill informed and doltish louts vs the informed and obviously
massively more intelligent of those who want to shovel cash in the face of a vast universe in the sliver of hopes beyond hope that the globe temps
will drop by .01%
In the end, and even out to the end of time, Mother Nature WILL have the last say on when and if to buy a pair of cute white rubber boots to wade the
rising seas.
Now the overriding Q would be.....when will we kill all the flatulent bovines that emit gases into the atmosphere?

Sounds like a kind invitation...I trust you could offer suggestions as to which places have the best tacos as well.
One condition, however.....we won't talk politics or religion....topics that often ruin a good visit....
I have never met a Nomad whose company I didn't enjoy...

Never said this SF......all I AM saying it that that palm tree in the Bahia is STILL above water isn't it?
Is it that palm .....still above the high water mark or not?....where is has been and remains after centuries of existence?
The Sea of Cortez is open to the Pacific Ocean and rises and falls as it seeks out sea level across the globe.
Befuddled on how the sea level can be flooding the fruited plains in Indonesia and not seek that same level several thousand miles.
Any clues?
For the record.....yes I am on the fence and trending towards the idea that the use of fossil fuels MAY have an effect on the overall global temps.
To what degree I just don't know and would wager a months pension that neither do JJJ, the Goat or a NASA scientist or even Al Gore.
What I am not willing to concede is to remove the amount of the worlds wealth that it would take to lower those temps by an estimated .01%
Seriously....I don't mean to come off as snarky or the least bit condescending whatsoever to you ok?
I respect your views and the views of others and I only ask for mine to be respected also, without the calls of being an uneducated and ill informed
dolt.

Poblanos tacos.....on the west side of the carretera (MX !) as you approach the town proper.
The colonia is Miramar.....
Carne asada tacos or al pastor.
Open air, white plastic Tecate seats and tables.
2 tacos, foam cup of frijoles and a soda .....77 pesos.
Corona store right next door if a cerveza suits your fancy and they don't care if you pop a top while enjoying the tacos
Or tacos el Rey in the center of town.....but tough to find them open on any given day.

If you havent had the simple curiosity to read about sea level change in the past decade, you are a dolt!
Wasting time on ignoramuses like you is futile!
