"The sky is falling! We're all going to die! How do I know? Someone told me so."

Mike, you do understand, don't you, that "science" cannot consist of appeal to absent authority, or rely on logical fallacies? Answer the question directly please, because I know you have trouble understanding this.

It is dishonest drivel to say that your policy wishes are indicated by "science".

All your claims about climate policy and science have been exhaustively demolished and exploded into vapour here:

There is nothing left. You have nothing.

The fact that you now pop up re-running the same failed nonsense when you know it's wrong, just proves once again that the global warming hysterics are using the religious, not the scientific methodology.

AFTER you have
a) understood, and
b) answered
the arguments proving you have nothing, THEN you will be in a position to resume your squark-fest.

But GUARANTEED there will be no answer from any warmist but what consists of appeal to absent authority (not science), endlessly and circularly assuming what is in issue (not science), and personal argument (not science).

Pathetic really.

I find it amazing how many sarcasticly dismiss proven prophecies in Scripture and then believe this gw religous nonsense. Oh well dont let truth get way of a good story.

Yes. This is 'climate refugee' business is as silly as all the other climate alarmism

Jardine,

You don't understand that at the current rate of sea-level rise, in barely a thousand years, some atolls and reefs will be a foot more under water than they are now ! After all, Fiji's highest point above the threatening seas is only about 1400 metres. So, in less than six million years, all of Fiji will be under water ! Think about it !

My elementary understanding of atoll development is that they are constantly sinking. More efficient means of removing ground-water makes them sink, I would imagine, faster. Building closer to the edge of the water means that, not surprisingly, some buildings are more likely to be hit by cyclones and high tides. But I think it is important that, if we want to shove a stick up the West, we should ignore all these factors and champion the rights of Pacific Islanders to move here as economic migrants. Sorry, refugees.

I look forward to more TV shots of water lapping over pier supports and slipways, proving that tides come in. And more shots too of lumps of ice, obviously the remnants of huge icebergs whittled down to almost nothing by global warming, as icebergs move away from the Polar areas. Ideally with a polar bear on one of them, demonstrating conclusively the shrinking of their natural habitat.

Lol Runner, exactly what 'prophecies' have come true from the bible?
That book is the biggest book of fairy tales I know.

One thing is definitely true...there will always be climate change.

Actually you are one of the clearest examples Susie.
