LOL. Well, we shall definately see who is correct concerning this. I expect to see that foot in my lifetime.
Damn, do one have to explain everything to you, dumbass? I will be sixty eight this year. I will not be seeing the end of this century. In fact, it is doubtful that I will see the mid-century. A foot in my lifetime would be a foot by the mid 30's. That is a very large increase.
LOL. Still playing the dumb ass, Ian, old boy? A one meter rise in sea level would be catastrophic in several respects. And we will almost certainly see at least that by the end of this century.
more than 10% of the century done and sea levels are lower than all of the models. it will be a push just to get a foot of sea rise let alone a meter.
...This study reconciles two totally independent methods
for estimating ice sheet mass balance, in Greenland and
Antarctica, for the first time: the MBM method comparing
influx and outflux of ice, and the GRACE method based on
time‐variable gravity data. The two records agree in terms of
mass, M(t), mass change, dM(t)/dt, and acceleration in mass
change, d2M/dt2. The results illustrate the major impact of
monthly‐to‐annual variations in SMB on ice sheet mass
balance. Using the two‐decade long MBM observation
record, we determine that ice sheet loss is accelerating by
36.3 ± 2 Gt/yr2, or 3 times larger than from mountain glaciers
and ice caps (GIC). The magnitude of the acceleration suggests
that ice sheets will be the dominant contributors to sea
level rise in forthcoming decades, and will likely exceed the
IPCC projections for the contribution of ice sheets to sea level
rise in the 21st century [Meehl et al., 2007].

Retard, if you really think I care how old you are, you haven't been paying attention. My point was from the claimed 7 meters you guys claimed before to now a foot by the mid 30's. More of your moving of goal post. Before it was 7 meters if Greenland melted, then it was if greenland melted and by the turn of the century, now if you get a foot by the 2030's its all good...
Way to hold them to a standard socks...

God, you closet liberal, you are an idiot! The figures were for 7 meters if all the ice in Greenland melts. And the time was not set, just stated as not anytime soon. The combined rise from both the Greenland Cap, and the Antarctic ice for the end of century has been estimated at 2 meters by the most 'alarmist' of the climatologists.
Someday, take some classes in comprehension.
The Greenland ice sheet contains enough ice to raise sea level about 7 meters (23 feet). Although it is already contributing to sea level rise (from melting), it does not contain the same instabilities as Antarctica that could result in a rapid collapse. Most model projections suggest a gradual melting over millennia related to sustained climate warming (IPCC, 2007).
Climate models indicate that the local warming over Greenland is likely to be one to three times th global average. Ice sheet models project that a local warming of larger than 3°C [5.4°F], if sustained for millennia, would lead to virtually a complete melting of the Greenland ice sheet with a resulting sea-level rise of about 7 m [23 ft].

Al gore's film stated the same thing in his little film remember?
Oh I do and so do the rest of us asshole...
You can tap dance and lie all you want but you and I both know its BS. you moved the goalposts again... BUSTED AGAIN!

A lot of very smart people studying this particular issue disagree with your poorly considered and unsupported opinion.
