@mott-the-hoople saidSo you don’t comprehend. Fine.
BOO!
Leave facts to the intellectuals then and sticking to carpet crawling.
@rajk999 saidDo you even comprehend what a 3° raise in average temperature does?
I made no reference to "the world's scientists". When you ask a decent question based on what I said, without trying to twist it, I may be inclined to answer.
Let me put it simply for you.
How many liters of water in the ocean? And what does water, above 4° do when warmed?
We’re talking centigrade. I don’t know the outdated measurements.
Now, that expansion, varying from 1% to 4% (depending on how far from 4° the expansion starts) x the liters in the ocean…
Besides anything else (like weather conditions), what do you reckon the effects are going to be?
@shavixmir
You do know Average and Metal brain and Moot will not be able to comprehend what you just said because they are in that stupid category and then we have a denier amongst us also.
When the shyte hits the fan, historians are going to look on our generation with disgust at just how stupid and greedy we were when say Florida disappears and where I worked once, Andros Island is history, no more AUTEC there and Manhattan like that scene from Waterworld.
I bet those future historians would like to get in a time machine and off ALL the stupid and greedy ones so the planet could continue to support billions of humans to say nothing of trillions of other life forms that would most likely go extinct. But of course, to those really STUPID deniers, humans are WAY too insignificant to be able to effect our ''infinite'' planet.
@JJ-Adams
Did I mention any country? I said HUMANS, that includes the US AND China AND India AND all the rest of the present polluters.
There are technologies coming online that may help, massive level sequestation of CO2 either pumped underground or used in industrial methods to turn that stuff to Methanol which of course just would pump more CO2 into the atmosphere but they are at least thinking of ways to capture excess CO2.
@averagejoe1 saidRight. Build a seawall around coastal cities, or....
So we’d disagree. Let’s do it your way. Just one more World Council on Climate meeting should do it. I’ll be there. I have a tractor, too. That Wall around Miami will have to up the Eastern Seaboard.
Who needs China and India. But, while we restrict progress at the expense of Cliiiiimmmmmmate control, they will kick our asses. Will y’all still allow fighter jets, and fossil fuel missiles? We’re gonna need ‘em.
There are other proposed solutions.
Either way, it's a bigger threat than Chyna.

They have been moving the goal posts by 10 years since I was born. The elite and the rich still buy ocean front property. BAAAAAAA say the sheeple.
@boonon saidWho's paying to put a $20 billion seawall around Miami?

Sorry , haven't had heard of, or had time to look up this sea wall you are talking about. Send me the picture when it's completed.
@boonon saidIt is not very debate worthy to discuss after the fact, sir.

The point is that the people who are buying and building in areas predicted to be impacted by climate change are not the same people paying the price for the expensive infrastructure upgrades. So your premise is faulty.
@wildgrass saidIf people really believe in these predictions about rising sea level, then why are they buying property near the sea?

@shavixmir saidOften these climate or environmental predictions, create extremists just like in any other area. These extremists overreact and make themselves a nuisance all over the world. Generally people are reasonably responsible and more and more business are promoting less dependence on fossil fuels, but these things take time. The article is referring to almost 80 years from now. Life, technology 80 yrs from now would be totally alien to us today.

Well, maybe in hamster years. Are you a hamster?
@shavixmir saidYeah ... Im a hamster that can read
2030 is not 80 years away.

Taking into account countries' carbon-cutting plans, UNEP warned that the planet is on a path for disastrous heating of between 2.5C and 2.9C by 2100. Based just on existing policies and emissions-cutting efforts, global warming would reach 3C.
..2100 ..
Sounds like they want to implement certain things by 2030. The actual change in temps by a few degrees will take about 80 years.

@wildgrass saidYou make no sense. No one is building a wall around Miami. Or the eastern seaboard, the west coast, the gulf coast, or any other ocean front you can name of. The rich still buy there because they know that rising sea levels are false.

@boonon saidIdiotic. The activities of rich people are not climate indicators. These are rich people who know society will bail out their investments like usual.

There are lots of other rich people buying up property in the Arctic. The temps there have risen 5 degrees Celsius, and are now habitable.
