"Smokey Mountains become Smokey Islands in 2512..

[healthmyths]

OK. What do the scientists say the melting of all the continental ice would do? About 250 ft higher sea level. Definately not covering any mountains. But creating some real problems for people in the future.

But what about the immediate future? Say, the next 30 years or so. Probably another 6 inchs of sea level rise, outside possibility of a foot. No big deal? Ask New York City what 8 inchs meant on a storm surge. Ask the people in Bangledesh where every inch represents less land to produce food for their huge populaton.

However, nothing at all is going to be done about GHG emissions until the situation is dire, and then it will be far too late. Best for those wise enough to see the evidence to prepare for the consequences.

Well maybe the "scientists" are wrong.
Are you aware that the temperature reading stations that have been providing the data regarding global warming have for the 100 years...
"The number of [Siberian] stations increased from 8 in 1901 to 23 in 1951 and then decreased to 12 from 1989 to present only four (4) stations, those at Irkutsk, Bratsk, Chita and Kirensk, cover the entire 20th century.

IEA analysts say climatologists use the data of stations located in large populated centers that are influenced by the urban-warming effect more frequently than the correct data of remote stations…

The scale of global warming was exaggerated due to temperature distortions for Russia accounting for 12.5% of the world’s land mass.
The IEA said it was necessary to recalculate all global-temperature data in order to assess the scale of such exaggeration.

How can any long term dependency on HISTORICAL comparisons of temperatures that leaves out 12% of the land mass and also have most of reading stations in
urban heat generating population centers?

So this simple error is being compounded by further errors.
Such as Gore's hyperbole..
"but two kilometers or so down in most places there are these incredibly hot rocks, 'cause the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees, and the crust of the earth is hot"
The physics and astronomy website Physlink also contests Gore's absurd claim:
It is approximately 4000°C at the centre of the Earth.

So given the hyperbole and hysteria that again shows how ANECDOTAL events BECOME the rule for a lot of people and good old common sense is ignored!

If all the glaciers melt that would add Ice caps, Glaciers, & Permanent Snow water volume cubic miles: 5,773,000 or 5.7 quintillion gallons or 1.74% of all the WATER in the world!
How much water do ice caps and glaciers hold? | Textile Waste Diversion

There are 343 quintillion gallons of water in all the oceans.

How many gallons of water does the ocean have

Again hyperbole and not checking the facts seem to be the norm any more and that's why we are living in a "crisis" society!
Everything is a "crisis"..
