It is interesting to note that, despite the current minimal readings on sea-level rise, Greenland's land bound ice sheet had a 98 percent melting spree earlier this year. It took just 48 hours to turn ice, kilometres thick, into mush. In the Southern Hemisphere, the West Antarctic ice sheet, which is fractured and a giant section is poised to slip into the sea, is melting from below, because of warming rock. Now, sea water is passing underneath the ice and warming it quicker than before and the whole ice sheet (somewhere around the size of the European Alps in area and thickness) is pushing the rock apart, to form a huge canyon. Those two babies will force the global sea-levels up by 7 metres. Now that is a rise and it will wipe out most cities in Australia and in many parts of the world. Say goodbye to London, Paris and Rome. While people in Australia are still arguing that climate change is an invention and in any case, is definitely not anthropogenic, the world is bracing for the worst. Just throw another shrimp on the barbie and get me another beer.

That waterfall at the edge of the world could be used to produce clean hydro electric power !

Wow! That's really great David Leigh.

I always did want to keep the boat at the foot of the garden, even if that garden is a little smaller.

I crossed Lake Alexandrina in SA once. Before crossing you had to be briefed on conditions.
The level of the lake on this particular day was measured and given to us as a reference as to depth.
We were told to expect an additional foot of water depth once we lost sight of land. Just keep inside of the buoys.
The extra water came from a slight south easterly breeze holding up the water and would not subside until night fall and the wind drops.

Dear Poirot,

Indeed. It is interesting that the Chinese government has made reporting of the air quality in Beijing illegal once it exceeds certain levels.

You may have seen it already but this type of planning for the future leaves us for dead, especially in the light of the threat of AGW. It makes the responses of so many look petty and selfish.

'So what if we get over a metre sea level rise in a hundred years, I'll be dead then! So why on earth would I want to pay for any mitigation?'
