Hey, Hey... Looks like I am going to have beach front property soon

Global warming trend on course to submerge coasts, researchers say

If current temperature trends continue to the end of the century, the Earth's climate will be warm enough to cause a massive melting of Greenland's ice sheet and a partial collapse of the Antarctic ice sheet, resulting in a torrent of melt water that will raise global sea levels by up to six metres, according to a pair of new research papers.

The increase in ocean levels would devastate low-lying coastal areas, put dozens of major cities under water, and become irreversible at some point later this century "unless something is done to dramatically reduce human emissions of greenhouse gas pollution," warns Jonathan Overpeck, a professor at the University of Arizona and one of the researchers.

He said that if serious efforts to limit global warming are not taken soon, "we're committed to four to six metres of sea-level rise in the future."

Oh wait... I forgot the jury is still out on global warming :sarcasm:

1. Hey, I made sure to buy a house 500 feet above sea level.

I live in a place where I fully expect to be able to see water from my bedroom window before I die, even though I'm ten miles inland for now. I consider it an investment. :-)

2. every year the scientist announce that the ice is melting faster then

they thought it would.

maybe you will be alive to see the water rise.
