3 feet in 50 years?!?
Jennifer Wadsworth writes, in the local cheesy papers:
Experts predict that the bay waters will ascend another 3 feet by 2050. http://www.sanjoseinside.com/2016/12...a-local-issue/ 3 feet?!? Current rate is 3mm/0.14", which w/o acceleration == 7" in 50 yrs. Who is saying 3 feet in 50 yrs? And what do -we- think? |

When I was a kid they predicted a man-made ice age in due course, meaning a few decades. I really believed that nonsense and got scared. Now that I've grown up it's easier to see through that. Much of it is just propaganda. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

You probably think one thing and I probably think something else. I haven't bothered to look at the article you reference- doesn't the author cite the source of the information? Competent journalism about science provides reference to the source material. |

Per Doug Landau:
Who is saying 3 feet in 50 yrs? And what do -we- think? Somewhere, I recall reading that the US Navy is building five feet into it's base construction/maintenance plans - but I have no clue what the time frame is and I cannot cite. Maybe somebody else has read this? -- Pete Cresswell |

In the last six days they delayed an incoming storm by three days and we're being told what is going to happen in 50 years. We are near the end of this present warm period and I expect it to start going back down to cooler weather pretty quick. |

Well EVEN if they continued as they are more land is being made than is being lost. |

We think, as an economist who knows for a fact that two degrees increase in global temperature will be very good for trade and harvests and hungry people and trees and new species, that if these clowns could actually bring back global warming, they would be heroes. We think, as cyclists, that if it is possible to bring back global warming, it would be the greatest thing since fish and chips was served with vinegar and salt in newspaper. I've been making fun of the apocalyptics since I was a precocious teenager with a column in a famous broadsheet, when I asked politely, once a month, to be shown the hole in the ozone layer caused by aerosols, which before CO2 was the Devil's Snot. After that came the imminent ice age, major floods (I had one pol I advised stand on the beach with his arms open for the TV cameras, and the next day he was a national figure), and then global warming.. All along we've had the stupidity about excess population, to where now most of the industrial nations can't even replicate their own populations. Andre Jute James Hansen is a lying ****** |
