It ain't necessarily so on sea rise : Comments

By Mike Pope, published 16/8/2016

Given the amount of new CO2 and CH4 entering the atmosphere, heat, and therefore sea level, is likely to be higher than official estimates.

Mikk I understand about you wanting to punish people who do not agree with you. You want gaol, humiliation and bankruptcy for these people. Good call!
Will you accept the same for all the scientists and politicians when this does not happen as they say it will? No of course there will be excuses, blather and then threats of violence!
Mate you are being played, I object to this for you and for me.

Plantation timber?

I live in an area that had a very large area of plantation timber of native species.

Unfortunately it was mono-culture, and pest and disease got into the trees, and the timber company behind it all went bankrupt, and the farmers have been doing their best to clear the timber to produce what they call "pasture" (which is another term for complete destructing of every living thing except exotic grasses).

I actually met a farmer who said he had a "good year", so he went and purchased 30 drums of Tordon.

well the earth has been covered by water before.
it wasnt caused by mankind back then.

The big consumers of coal and fossil fuels are actually overpopulated countries
like China and India.

That therefore, says the problem is one caused by overpopulation..
The fault lies with countries whose overpopulation produces
a consumer base for ever more coal and fossil fuels.
It is actually not a first world problem at all, as we dont overpopulate,

Immigration into first world countries, thus providing more consumers for fossil
fuels is coming once again from overpopulated countries.

Put the blame where it belongs, on third world overpopulation.

This doesnt suit the political agenda of the global warming lot, Whose
feverish,idealism,over global warming, is a weapon to bash first
world countries,they never mention third world countries as
the main probable cause.

Well, Boston, MA is taking this very seriously. Sea level rise does not just depend upon a global mean, which is mostly what the IPCC discusses, but it depends upon local geography. It's not like water rising in a bathtub. So, generally, the east coasts of major continents (eastern coast of U.S., eastern coast of China) see more than western ones. Near Boston, sea level is rising because light, cold Arctic meltwaters are obstructing the free flow of the Gulf Stream, slowing it down, piling water up. And, in an amazing testament to the scale at which things are changing, waters are also rising on the northeastern coasts of the United States because Greenland's gravitational attraction is weakening, due to ice melt, allowing ocean waters not to be held so tightly against its mass.

In Boston's case, in the RCP8.5 scenario, there's a 50% chance of a 5 foot sea level rise by 2100, and many other effects. See https://goo.gl/hsYF6t

Yes. If I am wrong I expect severe punishment and loss.
I also expect severe punishment and loss if I am right.
The damage, death, disaster and pain that climate change is already bringing will affect us all, the innocent as well as the guilty.

Only fools ignore experts and I bet this issue is the only time you do it.
I find it offensive that you deniers continue to use doctors, medicine, airlines, cars, computers and all the other things you use that you have no idea about.
You just trust the "experts".
If it is good enough to trust "experts" in the vast majority of your lives then what justification do you have in dismissing climate experts?

If you deny climate science then logically you must deny all our advances and science that makes our lives better than anyone in history and have been brought to you by "experts".

Anything less makes you a hypocrite and a greedy, selfish scumbag who cares nothing for their own children and grandchildren and the risks we are bequeathing them. Nice!

For goodness sake mikk be careful! Falling off your high horse can result in injury.
The main beef I have is with you and others bullying me about scientists who have already drained Billions of dollars from us but unable to get anything right.
Remember saint flannery, it will never rain in Brisbane again? Up until floods killed people it rained so hard.
I can make fifty year predictions too but that is meaningless as I will not be here.
These shysters are stealing our money with predictions of doom just like the Y2K bug and the hole in the ozone layer. It was rubbish then and it is still rubbish. Look believe what you want but eventually you will wake up and realise these people are only after your money and know the easiest way to get it is by scaring you. They do not scare me.
