    It only takes one catastrophic event like a tsunami to permanently change the landschaft.

    rising ocean levels are a problem for a number of reasons

    Ice sheets are now the largest contributor to rising sea levels, a new report has found. If ice sheets continue to melt at their current rates, sea levels may rise over 12 inches in the next four decades.

    Unfortunately, 2006 was not just a fluke occurrence. As ScienceDaily explains, ice sheets are melting at a steadily increasing rate. Over the course of the study, the ice sheets lost about an additional 36 gigatonnes per year, compared to each year before.

    http://www.cfact.org/a/886/Melting-the-facts-about-Greenlands-ice-sheet

    "Sorry, Dr. Hansen, but the melting edges of the Greenland ice sheet don't prove your point. Melting around the edges is exactly what the Vikings saw on Greenland 1000 years ago when they named the island�for its green coastal meadows. They moved in with their cattle, and thrived for 300 years, during what we now call the Medieval Warming.

    The Vikings' mistake was thinking that Greenland would stay warm, that the Earth's climate was stable. Greenland was then warmer than today, and the summers were longer. There was ample grass and hay for the Vikings' dairy cows. The Norse settlement grew to 3000 people."

    They got there by boat in warmer weather, so were the waves higher or more violent? I doubt it.

    actually it wasn't warmer than today nor were the summers longer in Greenland during this localized warming.

    if you look at the temp records you can see clearly that we surpassed any natural warming trend both in the rate of change and the extent of change over the last say 10,000 years through an alteration in atmospheric chemistry over the last say 100 years or so. If we consider only rate of change then we can push that number for unprecedented change back about 800,000 years

    the resolution of this graph will clearly show a dramatic 100% deviation from normal co2 levels over the last 450,000 years ( actually you can push that number back almost a million years but this graph doesn't show it.

    the resolution of this graph clearly shows that as of 7 years ago temps clearly are higher than during the regional event referred to as medieval warming

    another showing the same

    [​IMG]

    and another

    so the question becomes why is this site you quote presenting incorrect information to the public because between the 25 or so studies compiled to generate those graphs not one shows the medieval warming to be of higher temps than today

    Incredible and inedible! I won't swallow that.

    thems are the simple facts

    the climate is warmer today than it was during the northern hemispheres local event often referred to as the medieval warming period.

    CO2 is dramatically higher

    and the rate of change is factors above what it was during that period as well

    besides
    nice girls swallow

    Massive 8.9-Magnitude Earthquake in Japan Triggers Tsunami so ocean conditions are changing. Cowabunga, Dude!

    4.5-Magnitude hits Hawaii at close to same time.

    My sympathies to the people in Japan.

    Move inland as soon as possible!

    Nothing is confused here except the Church of Warmnotology.

    so are you saying that a earthquake is climate related or are you saying that earthquakes are somehow influencing climate?

    No. It is more a case of geology influencing architecture. I said a tsunami is on the way to Pacific Coast. Move inland. Too late now. One wave hit. Another, bigger one is on the way and may have just hit. sheesh!
