Deniers, I'm sorry about taking your lunch money every day on the playground. I couldn't resist. It wasn't about the money. It was about how you cried so amusingly, like you're crying now. Now that I've apologized, will you stop weeping about the past humiliations that the mean ol' liberals have inflicted on you? And no, I can't promise that I'll stop humiliating you for how badly you stink at science, logic, history, common sense, and life in general.
Now, back to the thread topic, sea level rise, which deniers are working so hard to deflect from. Here are a few recent news items.
Seas Rising but Florida Keeps Building on the Coast
---
Therein lies the uneasy reality in South Florida, home to 6 million people and projected to grow by 3 million over the next three decades. Its very existence depends on the continued allure of the beaches, waterways and natural environment. Yet, by 2050, an estimated $15 billion to $36 billion of Florida’s coastal property will be threatened by sea-level rise, according to a report last year from the Risky Business Project, a Bloomberg Philanthropies effort that quantifies economic risks from climate change.

Monterey prepares for sea level rise
---
MONTEREY, Calif. —The city of Monterey wants to be prepared for any rises in sea level. The report staff are working with shows that by 2100, the sea levels will rise 5 feet along southern Monterey Bay.

As sea levels rise, Rotterdam shows how to live with water
---
When a big storm hits a coastal city like New York or New Orleans, it's often the storm surge that does the most damage — the rising water that comes with low atmospheric pressure.
But when the next big one hits Rotterdam, the
Maeslant storm surge barrier will be ready for it.
The Maeslant structure is the biggest mobile barrier in the world — picture a pair of steel lattices twice the size of the Eiffel Tower, lying down on either side of the channel connecting the Netherlands’ second-biggest city to the North Sea. The Dutch built the massive gate in the 1990s to protect Rotterdam from a storm surge of up to three meters.

I'm just curious, what do you supposed is causing the rise? Antarctica is gaining ice, and Greenland isn't melting anything unusual. So where does all the new water come from?
BTW, excuse me for laughing, you should be trying out at the comedy clubs with this material.
Also, I couldn't stop laughing at this:
"Therein lies the uneasy reality in South Florida, home to 6 million people and projected to grow by 3 million over the next three decades."
There is concern and 3 million more people are going to be there. Dudette, doesn't get better than that sentence right there.
Have someone who can read, tell you what this says...
Why is southern sea ice increasing?
Antarctic sea ice has been growing over the last few decades but it certainly is not due to cooling - the Southern Ocean has shown warming over same period. Increasing southern sea ice is due to a combination of complex phenomena including cyclonic winds around Antarctica and changes in ocean circulation.
Common Core science anyone? Ice must melt so then it will increase. And the worse part about this, is that there are people out there that actually believe this shit..
No, little retard, the worst part is that there are clueless, anti-science idiots like you and JustCrazy who can't find your own asses using both hands, a roadmap and a GPS, but still imagine that you understand climate science better than the actual scientists. LOLOL.
well we both know you have no idea about climate science and impact of sea level potentials.
LOLOLOLOL.....That is hilarious, coming from a ignorant, anti-science, nutbagger troll like JustCrazy, who literally has "
no idea about climate science" or much of anything else.
As he continually demonstrates....like his statement above...."
Greenland isn't melting anything unusual".....while in the real world....
