That's all in your head. You're delusional.


I expect you to prove there will be a 10 foot rise by then.

Your words were (and I quote): "So a 20-foot sea level rise over a
couple hundred years would be just an inconvenience. Right. "


It's time you were reminded of how this discussion has gone, since you seem
somewhat absent-minded.

You showed up flinging around some platitudes about the earth, the climate
and humanity. One of these was this brilliant observation:

Humans adapt, period.


To which I replied:

"So a 20-foot sea level rise over a couple hundred years would be just an
inconvenience. Right."

Making the point that there are enormous changes that *could* happen over a
far shorter time scale than previous periods of human adaptation. An event
that even you should see would be a cataclysm far beyond the adaptability of
modern civilization.

Somehow, you have twisted this around in your mind to believe I owe you
proof there will be a 10 foot rise by 2100.

Nuts.



You are not acquitting yourself very well in this thread. You've postured,
you've bloviated, but you haven't posted a thing that indicates you have a
clue what modern climate science is about. You appear to believe, for
example, that effects of global warming must be linear. Furthermore, you
expect science to "prove" things, evidence that you don't know how science
works.

Not to put too fine a point on it, you don't know WTF you are talking about.

But I know that won't stop you. Keep it coming.
