Ok.. facts. 20 foot sea level rise based on which incontrovertible
evidence?

There's no such thing as incotrovetible evidence.

Will we have a 10 foot rise in 50 years?

5 feet in 25?

Sorry, I'm not buying the sleight of hand that is the "Climate
Change" crisis of the moment.

Great, stick a gun in your nmouth and play russian roullette, bjust
don't expect to try snd take me with you without a fight.



We had far warmer temperatures earlier in our history, and far
colder.

But true believers in a religious cause can't be "convinced."

I know.

You seriously believe all the alarmist noise?

All the alarmist noise?

Seriously -- what are you expecting to happen?

That people wil continue to pump **** into the atmospehre nad sea until
they break it.


Even the True Believers have downplayed Al Gore's outrageous
predictions (such as sea level rise of 20 feet in 100 years).



"When Michael Crichton said that 'Historically, the claim of consensus
has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate
by claiming that the matter is already settled,' he was right. When it
comes to the natural sciences consensus is not science, and science is
not consensus."


Oh well, if Michael Chrichton said it.

Jesus wept.



Now, about the work "belief" I don't "believe" anything. I can see evidence
and can see the logical result according to the best information available.

Believers generally start with a need and use the belief to fill it.
Religion is the best example of course, and one of the reasons that people
get so riled up about it is investment. And generaly a pretty short sighted
and narrow view of the investment to boot.

So, no, I don't believe it, I just see it as a likely consequence based on
my best understanding of the sciences involved. I have no investment and
I'm not crying about the sky falling.

How about you?
