Rightard babbling. It had to happen.

Your language reveals you.

Let me repeat myself for your benefit:
Global Warming due to Man Made Causes which will result in a 20
foot rise in Ocean levels is a Crock Of Unmitigated ****.

The same bombastic pronouncement. Do you imagine that repetition
makes it more effective?

Yeah. Thus Let me repeat myself for your benefit:
Global Warming due to Man Made Causes which will result in a 20 foot
rise in Ocean levels is a Crock Of Unmitigated ****.


No, it isn't. It's a very real possibility.


Furthermore, to really irritate you, I plan on sticking around to 2100
to point to the ocean and say "You're wrong and I'm was and continue
to be right."

this won't happen. It will be me saying I told you so (if I'm dead I'll
leave a note on the fridge) but it will be too late.
That's the problem with this problem. You could be right. I hope you
are, actually, because I doubt that enough will be done. I thinkn it
very unliely that you're right, but I'll concede that it's possible and
so would most scientists.
the problem is, even if you are right, alternative energy sources will
have to be found this century to replace oil. It is going to run out.
When doesn;'t matter. A few decades or even centuries is the twinkling
of an eye. Even if we've only used 25% of the available oil on the
planet, to use up in a couple of centuries what it took nature a few
hundred million years to make is just stupid, pure and simple.
the other problem is, if I'm right and you ae wrong, it will be too
late. The I told you so's won't be something we can laugh at over a
beer.
In short, it has to be done either way. The only difference is when. IC
technology, much as I love it, is a bore. Nothing really new in over a
hundred years, unless you count crappy FADECs and the like. The Jet
engine is over a hundred years old now. Steam was only king for a bit
over a hundred years and in fact when steam was younger than that the
new brats of the future were already toddling around amusing people.(
the early IC cars of the 1880s and the early attempts at flight) We can
develop technologies that can carry us into the next century and we can
do it now.

By the way, neither I nor anyone else predicts a 20-ft sea level rise
by 2100. That's all in your head. You're delusional.

I expect you to prove there will be a 10 foot rise by then.

Your words were (and I quote): "So a 20-foot sea level rise over a
couple hundred years would be just an inconvenience. Right. "
