MSNBC – No stopping rising sea levels, study says If you read this they say nothing will change until the year 2400. Great. How can you prove them wrong? Or right?
“Many people don’t realize we are committed right now to a significant amount of global warming and sea level rise because of the greenhouse gases we have already put into the atmosphere,” said Gerald Meehl, who led the study out of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).
“Even if we stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations, the climate will continue to warm, and there will be proportionately even more sea level rise,” Meehl said today. “The longer we wait, the more climate change we are committed to in the future.”
Trends and forecasts — Results of the computer modeling are reported in the March 18 issue of the journal Science.

Help, the sky is falling, the sky is falling. If I listened to even half of the doom and gloom types, the “end of the world” would have already happened a dozen times over. Why don’t these people just sit back and enjoy their life now instead of dreaming up more ways to depress everyone else.
That’s a nice thought for our hedonistic times: Leave it for subsequent generations to clean up. That’s always been the American way, hasn’t it?
Some of you may scoff, but I’ve just sold all my Tivo stock
and put it all into icecube companies.
Talk about an opportunity!
How can you prove them wrong or right? You can’t, but you can look at their computer programs for yourself and decide whether their modelling and physics and programming are good or not. So can anyone else, it’s like open software. If you have a better model, you can propose one.
Don’t call them nihilists (the people at NCAR), call them scientists. If you want real nihilists, talk about the Rapture-End-of-the-World religious nuts.

An argument can be manufactured for any point of view. Just 30 years ago. It was global cooling which was the problem. http://www.globalclimate.org/Newsweek.htm The green types simply don’t understand that the earth can take care of itself. Let’s not forget about all the volcanic activity. A single volcano can produce more greenhouse gasses during one eruption than humans have produce in the past 100 years.
If you work for a corporation, then you should already know that there is no hope left in this world. Sleep, commute, work, commute, sleep, commute, work, commute, sleep, compute, work, commute, sleep, ad infinitum…
Earth to John! Amazing stuff.

Destroying the Earth is harder than you may have been led to believe.
Maybe we can just move it if we need to.
