Ocean front dwellers look out
Here comes the ocean. If these guys are right our grand kids might not enjoy the same beaches we do and life on earth is going to get really
interesting.
The study—written by James Hansen, NASA’s former lead climate scientist, and 16 co-authors, many of whom are considered among the top in their
fields—concludes that glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica will melt 10 times faster than previous consensus estimates, resulting in sea level rise of
at least 10 feet in as little as 50 years. The study, which has not yet been peer reviewed, brings new importance to a feedback loop in the ocean near
Antarctica that results in cooler freshwater from melting glaciers forcing warmer, saltier water underneath the ice sheets, speeding up the melting
rate. Hansen, who is known for being alarmist and also right, acknowledges that his study implies change far beyond previous consensus estimates. In a
conference call with reporters, he said he hoped the new findings would be “substantially more persuasive than anything previously published.” I
certainly find them to be.
From Slate, here is the link

But hey, the good news is that not all scientists agree.......
No b-tchin\' in the Baja.

Here we go again. Thank heavens for small vacations though.... and by the way Jefe, I concur with you and your article, although SOME here may not.
I'm sure Shell Island is being tested for that at this very moment.

Let's see, that's 2.4" per year. Not sure I'm buying that prediction.

Don't dispute the settled science, you will become the object of ridicule and scorn, buy some lots 1 off the beach and wait for the windfall instead

The ocean will have to rise about 50' for that to be an issue ged but I'm sure there is a "scientist" out there who will publish a report predicting
such a scenario and so it will be "settled" as well. Let's start using that pizza oven more often while we have a chance, maybe I should be buying
lots 3 off the beach instead of 1?

You're dismissing a prediction because of an assumption on your part that has no evidence behind it.
It's good to be skeptical but the skepticism should be based upon something. |
See what I mean.

Hola all,
this is some pretty serious stuff for our future generations.
i watched an eye opening documentary at 2:00 A.M. in Los Angeles that showed the effects of global warming that predicted all the doomsdays stuff on
melting glaciers and more.
it showed the current effects that were very alarming around the world.
it was presented by goodplanet.org.
sorry but, i'm no techie and could not get more info as the credits were small and rolled by very quickly.
i'll follow up and try to find the video. WE BETTER WAKE UP BEFORE THERE ARE NO ROSES TO SMELL !
BIEN SALUD, DA RAT

2.4 inches per year? Not!
The rapture will happen quickly. A day, perhaps 2? You good Christians can keep on buying waterfront today. You Jews and Muslims and atheists that
will be staying around after the rapture should buy a bit back from today's beach, on the fist hill.
Don't say I did not warn you!

While it makes sense that vaporizing 100,000,000 years of carbon deposits in the span of a couple centuries should wreak some havoc it still makes
sense to keep a critical skepticism with such a politicized topic. That said, my own skepticism took a turn downward recently ...I kept wondering why
in the last interglacial period we had high CO2 levels and temps (and that was before humans were barely a twinkle in the Earth's eye). Turns out
that the higher temps would be caused by heating of the upper atmosphere due to the Earth's wobbly rotation over the eons. But the rising temps
currently are in the lower atmosphere NOT in the upper atmosphere...so that may not have even happened yet.

Where I live in California, it's a 30 minute drive to the beach. This is good news. It will be closer.
