Al Gore just bought a $9 million dollar waterfront home. Why would he buy a home on the water if, as he has said, the sea could rise as much as 20 feet?
If we all agree that the sea level is raising, faster than we calilated, does that mean we shoud stop the rising sea levels with Winter Night!
It is a risky game judging rising sea levels, the very definition of which is a fluctuating tidalmovement. As a masters year architecture student in Aberdeen, Scotland, our group is proposing the construction of an island off the coast of Edinburgh. The tidal implications of which could mean that to accommodate for rising sea levels for the next century, we would have to have a ground level 11m above sea level at low tide.
This is the equivalent of a 4 story building.

Are you serious? The profit related global warming is all over the place. The recent wave of "green" products/scams would not be possible without the fear factor of global warming. It is engrained in your everyday life, you are just too small minded/ignorant to take notice of EVERY major corporation/al gore/government skimming profits from this major scam that has proven to be just that. CLIMATEGATE fool
The same people who scream global warming is ********, often seem to be the same people that scream god exists.
Though, I fail to see where global warming equals profit, exactly.
Wow, we finally find out this is all based on lies, fabricated data, and proof that this fabricated "hysteria" has been spewn out for good. old fashion "profits".
We all play the odds. When one drives drunk it is wise to wear a seat belt and go slower. When the area that one lives "might" end up under the sea note should be taken. It does not matter what % of global warming is created by human activity. What matters is the result of that warming and how it affects one as an individual. To the wise I suggest that note be taken and action, if deemed appropriate. Were those bomb shelter builders in the 1950's incorrect in preparing just because they.... More
Thought I do not agree that global warming is true, I would have to agree strongly with your last statement. Though, in the 1950s, preparing for the bomb shelters wasn't so much an act of good stewardship as acting against global warming would be. As much as I hate people becoming fearful of their homes submerging below sea level, I have to say the move the world is taking to become better stewards of our home is worth it. For those who don't believe, let's quit argueing and let it go. We.... More
Can we reasonably ignore comments that fail at grammar and spelling? A careless mind is empty of rational thought.
No we won't. Careless != Empty. Just because someone can't spell or is ignorant of English sentence structure doesn't mean they are devoid of serious thought. Your logic betrays you as controlling and narcissistic.
The climate has "changed" since the dawn of time. The "sea levels" have as well and will continue to do so weather man is here our not. During the "Medieval Warm Period" it didn't result in any drastic rise in sea levels. I'm still waiting for the swine flu and global ice age scams of the 70's to materialize. "Give me a break"!
And this is why so many people are ignoring global warming. When you start making wild claims people tend to tune out.
Ocean levels over the last decade have been rising at a rate of 0.12 inches per year (~9 years to get 1 inch, ~100 years to get 1 foot)
Yes I know as the planet warms that will accelerate but any warming that would raise sea levels that much would start to boil off the oceans first. (Most sea level rise comes from thermal expansion not addition of water from.... More
