[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 124280, member: 322"] Thanks. I looked at the free part of the Nature article and the critique. Nothing new here for me ..... data was as of 2010. Although the article was primarily one of redistributing seas level gains over the last century to decrease the most recent period from 1990-2010, they still had an average sea level rise per year of 3 mm (.12 inches). As someone who lives on the Chesapeake Bay, I care very much about sea level rise as it affects my housing value as a retirement asset. In fact I think that most of the people on earth live within 2 miles of the ocean and would have to move if sea level continues to rise. But it's slow .... at least in terms of a human lifetime so people will adjust. What concerns me more is the increase in atmospheric temperature increasing the energy in the atmosphere and thus the severity of storms. But like politics, weather is local. Here on the Virginia coast, we may be in for a period of fewer hurricanes due to the shifting of the jet stream down and eastward in the US with the warming trend. That same phenomena is what is leading to the California droughts. How much of the .12 inches is man made? I don't know but *think* it is sizable since increased CO2 still allows most sunlight frequency light in and but blocks infra red heat going out to a greater extent . What will the world do about it? Nothing until it affects the earning potential of the 1% IMHO. Business as usual. [/QUOTE]
