Here is an interesting look, PDF file at the Sea Level changes over time do to Climate Change. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...=6UYxNXp5Kbuxyk8UlLV2bg&bvm=bv.69411363,d.cGU Page 2 and 8 shows a map and how much land has been covered by the sea in the last 25 thousand years as the land glaciers recede in the interglacial warming cycle. By all accounts, the sea level rise is decelerating, but we still have from .6' to 6' yet to go. It doesn't seem like there is a darn thing man can do about this cyclic change. If the human race became extinct tomorrow, I think the sea would continue to rise to it's apex for this cycle. Even Barack Obama will find it difficult to slow. "this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal ..." Tuesday, June 03, 2008 Barack Obama

Most of us who are skeptical about the dangers of climate change actually embrace many of the facts that people like Bill Nye, the ubiquitous TV "science guy," say we ignore. The two fundamental facts are that carbon-dioxide levels in the atmosphere have increased due to the burning of fossil fuels, and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a greenhouse gas, trapping heat before it can escape into space. What is not a known fact is by how much the Earth's atmosphere will warm in response to this added carbon dioxide. The warming numbers most commonly advanced are created by climate computer models built almost entirely by scientists who believe in catastrophic global warming. The rate of warming forecast by these models depends on many assumptions and engineering to replicate a complex world in tractable terms, such as how water vapor and clouds will react to the direct heat added by carbon dioxide or the rate of heat uptake, or absorption, by the oceans. ... Messrs. McNider and Christy are professors of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and fellows of the American Meteorological Society. Mr. Christy was a member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with former Vice President Al Gore.

This article suggests the possibility that the sea is currently at the apex level for this cycle. Could it be that the prediction discrepancy between .6' and 6' is slightly high, and between 0' feet and 6' is closer to the mark? Perhaps 99% of the scientist could agree with corrected prediction.
A layover gif of the data I referenced earlier being manipulated. Reminds me of the "Bush memos" that were proven as being forgeries, except that the AGW data was actually changed on the graph.
Also, and I know Denny already pointed this out repeatedly, CO2 lags some 800 years behind global temps according to the IPCC's own data. No wonder this thread died. Those who propose to believe in science can't counter the actual science that casts doubt on the "FACT" of AGW. Sweeping floors in a lab doesn't make one a scientist, fwiw.
So let me get this straight...... The same people who think we should be allowed to carry guns around also believe that we are not affecting the climate? Sent from my baller ass iPhone 5S...... FAMS!
They are probably the same people that believe a man made a boat with his bare hands that could carry 2 of every species on earth. Sent from my baller ass iPhone 5S...... FAMS!
I predict a rough voyage. The nearest vet is 30 miles away, and those animals better not shit in the water! barfo
