Well since sea levels have risen by a couple inches (50 mm=2 inches) over 20 years, there may be some adjusting of dire predictions to do.

New Orleans is already far below sea level, what difference will 2 more inches make?

People are perhaps unaware of it, but on the Left Coast earthquakes are RAISING the land of California.

The earth *could* also be hit by an asteroid by 2100 and we'll all be toast.

Well, at least most of Texas is gone. That's one bright side of climate change.

I thought natural disasters only happened to states with gays and abortions.

This assumes a linear progression of sea-level rise. I wouldn't make that assumption. Ice is white. It reflects light. The more ice lost, the more solar energy is absorbed by the land and ocean, and the quicker the remaining ice melts. Think of it like compound interest from a high yield credit card draining your bank account.

Good!

Good!

Yep, a hundred million Americans losing their homes to coastal flooding and he says "good". This is exactly why you don't vote republican.

The coastlines are the most densely populated areas and the economic and business centers of our nation. What possible economic consequences could there be to losing that land? How will the stock market react to being literally underwater?

That's right Dan! I say bloody fucking GOOD!

I say bring it on, is tomorrow good for you?

I would like to see some climate change on a biblical porportion starting today. Then I would love to hear all of your Liberal solutions for a God made disasters. I mean when the shit is going down, you'll need more than Social media and political shamming to mitigate the circumstances.

And Frankly, I don't think Liberals will have any solutions to offer.

THEN Finally, everyone will know what a bunch of Bullshit the Liberals have been selling us, to only enrich their lives and benefit their bank accounts, while actually having nothing to offer but fear, and ways to maximize those profits born out of fear.

Damn right Good!

Can we have it happen a few months before midterm elections?
People may need sometime, to see just how ineffective the Democrats really are.

Ha ha. If that is true humanity will have to learn to deal with changes.

That beach house is cute no more.

Did you douche with battery acid by accident this morning or just run out of meds?

I bet your asshole is jealous of the shit that comes out of your mouth.

HaHaHa you guys are too cute.

You're all like I'm over hitting a nuclear missile on the war head, with a tiny ball-pin hammer. Throttling Irony because I question the great flying spaghetti monster.

"Don't say that, you'll blow us all up!"

Bring on the inquisition.

Kill all the people. They did this, kill them all.

Either that, or some sun quiescence or a few volcano farts, problem solved.

Climate change is a man-made disaster. The difference? Man is real; god isn't.

Climate change is a perfect example of why we need to get rid of Bronze-Age religious thinking and start embracing that thing called science.

As long as 0.01% of scientists disbelieve climate change, forget about it.

Really? And when the climate changed the Sahara Desert from a jungle to a desert, man caused that?

And Greenland actually had lush green forests, and man changed that climate back then how?

That is part of a long term cycle. Carbon in the ground vs carbon in the atmosphere...it has always cycled leading to the situations you point out. However, humans have accelerated the current cycle so that the changes are likely to occur on a time scale of 100s of years rather than the usual timescale of 100,000s of years.

Really?

The final proof: global warming is a man-made disaster

Scientists have found the first unequivocal link between man-made greenhouse gases and a dramatic heating of the Earth's oceans. The researchers - many funded by the US government - have seen what they describe as a "stunning" correlation between a rise in ocean temperature over the past 40 years and pollution of the atmosphere.

The study destroys a central argument of global warming sceptics within the Bush administration - that climate change could be a natural phenomenon.

And that was back in 2005. Any person claiming that the recent rise in temperature and the resulting change in weather patterns that caused this year's "polar vortex" and severe winter in the U.S. are not due to climate change, should be treated exactly like we treat Holocaust deniers and for the exact same reason.

The evidence has long been out and understood. People who put political agendas and greed before the truth, don't get a vote at the table when we implement policy. They have discredited themselves.

The evidence for man-made, catastrophic climate change is greater than the evidence for a round Earth at this point. Deniers are just liars and deserve no respect or consideration. In fact, at this point, anyone who's been denying man-made climate change or its impact in the past 10 years, should not even be allowed a voice at the table even if they admit they were wrong (really lying), for they have proven that they don't give a damn about the consequences for their greed comes before anything else.

You guys have finally reached the 5th step of being a bonefide nutjob religion.

Someone or something is going to rise.

Religion is based on faith, the belief without and in spite of proof. Science is based on mountains of evidence. Anyone who equates the two is the village idiot.

mmmarvel, you dumb ass. Repeating your flawed argument does not help it. Just because climate changes occur naturally does not mean that man-made uncontrolled and catastrophic climate change isn't happening right now.

There are literally millions of independently confirmed facts that support this case ranging from ice core samples to tree growth rings. But the fact is that no amount of evidence matters to you because the truth does not matter to you. Selfish assholes who deny climate change don't give a damn how much all the people in the world suffer from it because they expect they will have more profits in the short term and they won't be personally affected. And that is why you don't get a vote.

Are you saying that women are not responsible?

We all know that global warming is about hot air. Both sexes are equally capable of generating hot air.
