The Progs will DENY SCIENCE when it comes to record snowfalls, that havent happened like this over 100 years.

What he said.

The world is warming.

Good by me ... looking forward to it ...

Careful what you wish for.

I put my wishes into action ... and I moved to a place where temperatures are 5ºF warmer ... it wasn't catastrophic ...

5ºF? I don't know how you ever survived.

First, I have no idea how you connect sea level rise to firewood. Do you?

You didn't answer my question ... do you agree we should substantially increase our CO2 emissions for the humanitarian purposes that would serve? ...

Second, you have no background in the dynamics of coastlines like those of the US East Coast. Every inch of sea level rise will act to push the barrier islands inland and flood the coastal plains. A rise of a foot may translate to a mile of lost land (I don't know the exact relationship). That is one mile all along the thousand of miles of US coasts. Sea walls will only be a temporary solution.

That's why we replenish the beach sand there on a regular basis ... we have maps of the coastline from the Revolutionary War ... and we've seen 2 feet sea level rise since then ... and it "may" erode a mile of coastline in a few places, so maybe find out the exact relationship if you're such an expert and coastal erosion ... are you seriously suggesting New York City was two miles removed from the ocean when it was founded? ...

Not a problem on The West Coast ... where mountains meet the sea ...

What is the connection between our CO2 emissions and what humanitarian purposes that would serve?

NYC has been extensively reclaimed from the sea so it's coast is now man-made. I do know that it suffered some major flooding when hit by a hurricane a few years ago, the first I recall. They are now spending billions to secure a small part of the city. Not every city can afford to do that.

Bringing energy to regions of the world where they have none. It's the reason emissions are increasing.

Or did you think emissions were increasing because of the developed world?

The developed world began the process. Do we have any responsibility to the rest of the world?

Storm surges are typically in the 5 to 10 ft range. You are equating a 3 mm/yr rise in sea level - which has been occurring for the last 6,000 years and before that was occurring at a much greater rate - to surge produced by a hurricane?

Have you even looked at a topographical map of New York to visualize what a one foot rise in sea level actually means?

So you would deny the poor regions the same benefit you have?

What are you suggesting we do to meet our so-called responsibility?

So when you want to have a serious discussion and leave your biases at the door, I will be glad to explain to you your options for meeting your goal to a problem I don't believe we have.

Because you have clearly not thought through this problem. I have.

What has been the rise in the last 25 years?

Looks to me 1/2 of Brooklyn and Long Island may disappear.

~75 mm or 2.95 in. Which is exactly ~75 mm or 2.95 in of what it would have been if man never existed.

I think you should look again if you think 1/2 of Brooklyn and Long Island would be submerged by a 1 ft rise in sea level.
