Valricoslash Champion Author Tampa Posts:4,848 Points:992,295 Joined:Nov 2008	Message Posted: Feb 9, 2012 4:27:36 AM Ignore Valricoslash Report Abuse Let me get this straight. Ocean levels are rising at a rate of 6/100 of an "INCH" per year. So I guess in a 100 years they will have risen 6 inches and it would take 200 years for them to rise a foot. Not exactly something to be worried about in my book. Besides how did they come up witht he exact measurement of 6/100s? Have you looked at a ruler lately? Take one ince and try to subdivide it into 100 ticks. You can't without a magnifying glass. Nobody can predict what is going to happen 200 years from now, no matter what they think, the models they use or the adoration they receive from neurotic morons like Al Gore. Sounds like the same global warming alarmists crap that has been proven to be false in the past. Remember taht less than 1000 years ago Greenland ws actually farmed by the Vikings. They left when the mini ice age began. [Edited by: Valricoslash at 2/9/2012 7:32:35 AM EST]

NGC4565 Champion Author Reading Posts:1,939 Points:389,140 Joined:Mar 2011	Message Posted: Feb 9, 2012 3:39:39 AM Ignore NGC4565 Report Abuse And 10,000 years ago there was so much ice that the ocean level fell enough to create a land bridge between Asia and North America. The ancestors of native American walked across that bridge to get here. 2000 years ago it was so warm that the Romans were able to cultivate grapes in northern England. Our climate changes by itself, with or without our intervention. Get used to the idea.
