    One to two metres of sea level rise is highly desirable.

    More than 10m of sea level rise is a catastrophe.

    And the Ozone hole is still as big as N. America, oh but it is shrinking dont you know! Really shrinking? I highly doubt it, in fact I highly doubt fluorocarbons made it, it was there all along for eons, and will be for eons more.

    This is the same as carbon global warming issue, same thing rehashed, that people messed up and people can repair what they messed up. In reality, the companies who make refrigerants, well they needed new expensive refrigerants since their profits were suffering. Global warming is also a money driven agenda.

    Mighty convenient the fluorocarbon producing ozone hole, was only over uninhabited south pole Antarctica and not spread all over the earth! Which is what common sense thinking would inform you the effects of gas like that in the air would be spread all over the earth.

    The ice is not melting and some say the ice is melting.
    Oh, but it is not melting today, but will all melt 10 years from now they will say.
    Why is the tipping point always a few years away? That is the consistent message, it is not too late yet, but soon will be. It was all supposed to be gone, the arctic ice by 2015 yet it is growing.
    Why is that? because they want you to stop using fossil fuels, extending out the hope the continual haranguing propaganda is what they use to sell you on the agenda.

    Rowers can't help themselves.
    The rest of us need to stop dragging our knuckles on these issues.

    No doubt that was the case at the end of the last ice age, when the sea level started to rise. Given the number of people living on the edges of drowned river valleys right now, it's not as if the human race hasn't had to deal with this issue in the past.

    2 lousy metres and I can have a deep waterfront property with my own jetty.

    You seem to have a thing about your waterfront front section as if any one cares.
    Its not about you, its about our children and their children I care about .

    Earth’s Most Famous Climate Scientist Issues Bombshell Sea Level Warning

    http://www.motherjones.com/environm...-scientist-issues-bombshell-sea-level-warning

    Could the oceans really rise 10 feet in the next 50 years?

    In what may prove to be a turning point for political action on climate change – a breathtaking new study casts extreme doubt about the near-term stability of global sea levels.

    The study—written by James Hansen – NASA’s former lead climate scientist – and 16 co-authors – many of whom are considered among the top in their fields—concludes that glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica will melt 10 times faster than previous consensus estimates – resulting in sea level rise of at least 10 feet in as little as 50 years. The study – which has not yet been peer-reviewed – brings new importance to a feedback loop in the ocean near Antarctica that results in cooler freshwater from melting glaciers forcing warmer saltier water underneath the ice sheets – speeding up the melting rate.

    Bill Nye is on a quest to change the world, and we want you to be part of it!

    Once the host of a popular kid’s show, Bill is about to take off his “Science Guy” lab coat and battle the naysayers to create a more scientifically literate and engaged universe.

    We’re going to make a film about it. A film for science. A film for the cosmos. The full access, exclusive film about Bill Nye.


    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/structurefilms/the-bill-nye-film?ref=hero

    With Bill on board, we’re ready to start following Bill as he tours the globe, advocates for space policy in Washington DC, launches a satellite, hangs out with Neil deGrasse Tyson, debates climate change deniers, and attempts to fill the big shoes of his former mentor and friend Carl Sagan -- all at a time when science is under attack.

    One account about the discovery of Monmouth remains said that the animal had been eating at the time and that it had become snap frozen so quickly that it had no time to even swallow the food in it`s mouth.
    Must have been an awesome cold snap.

    HUMANITY FROM SPACE, a PBS program

    From the perspective of space, trace humankind's journey from hunter-gatherer to dominant global species. With mind-boggling data and CGI, the program shows how we've transformed our planet and produced a world of extraordinary complexity.

    Just watched a portion of this very interesting PBS program. ...recommend it highly.

    One of the eye openers is the human population expansion/growth that will take place in the next 20-25 years,...almost unbelievable huge,..but well documented.

    Then how are we going to feed that huge increase in people, and where is all the fresh water going to come from,...etc...etc

    Earth has a disease “Humans”

    As it stands humans are possessed by the $ which has over taken their consciences and firmly replaced with pure greed.

    Climate deniers who portray them self’s as fun loving kind and caring people who cuddle up to their pets are the worst disease of all as they scoff down earthlings carcasses without a care in the world but in reality is no differences to cannibalism who you need to watch your back as they smile to your face as nothing else's matter except a $ at any means.

    An all-out nuclear war is inevitable with such a barbarian species, each year there is the odds this happing any day with humans that are certain to self-destruct.

    If by some chance a nuclear war will not happen it’s said a disease has been created with a vaccine that has been found for the selected few to remain on earth alive and will be released when starvation and civil war world wide is uncontrollable.

    A miracle solution is if all humans ceased eating earthlings meat then naturally the conscience can learn to grow with consideration “true love” that can control self-destruction and bring balance and harmony to earth and all its species.
