Your Wednesday Mind-Blower...

A glacier roughly the size of Florida is disintegrating, rapidly. Likely to completely disconnect from Antarctica within next 6 years, which could raise global sea levels anywhere between 6 and 10 feet, creating a cascading "doomsday" effect for coastal communities.

How Explosives, a Robot, and a Sled Expose a Doomsday Glacier

Thwaites Glacier is crumbling, and fast—if it melts entirely, it could add 10 feet to sea levels. Now Antarctic scientists are racing to survey the damage.

I wonder if a city like Miami getting flooded off the map will change people's minds about climate change?

Probably not. Never underestimate the power of stupid.

Oh, this thread again.

Some say the thousand dollar an acre land I bought in Arizona is a "waste" and "has zero redeeming value" but I'm playing the long game. #oceanfront baby!

Possible alternative explanations...
"God's will"
"Just a normal geo-climatic cycle"
"Liberal hysteria" (assuming FoxNews is still broadcasting)
"Space lasers" (assuming Q is still active)

I hope the Obamas don't ragret buying two homes barely above sea level...

The Jetsons' apartment was built on a giant spire.

Coincidence?

Well reality is Obama will be dead and gone before the properties are underwater, so he’s just being a realist who enjoys ocean front views.

Their Martha’s Vineyard home is like a hundred feet above sea level.

 

[steelrain]

Bye, bye New Orleans

 

[ICWestfan]

Dang. I bought property in the Nevada desert based on seismic activity. Guess I missed one that ocean front property.

No it's not...it's in the darkest green, 25 feet at the most. The Hawaii home has a seawall...

 

[The Tradition]

Flood zone smack.

Man... I've seen it all now.

No it's not...it's in the darkest green, 25 feet at the most.

So, still fine then...

15 ft+ = "barely"

Uh huh.

If you put ice in a glass, and fill it with water, does the melting ice cause the glass to overflow?

6-10’? I think you might need something g a lot bigger than the size of Florida to make that happen! The ocean is just too big, coupled with evaporation and normal rainfall, just not gonna happen.

And, yes, I realize that this has taken place in the past. Obviously, Atlantis disappeared, along with a number of other communities worldwide, apparently. But this ain’t raising sea levels 6-10’

Nope

But if you dump a bunch of it into the glass off a cutting board, it sure does!!!

 

[Speedway1]

Oh, this thread again.

Ho hum

 

[Greenway4Prez]

Nope

Why in the hell are you putting ice on a cutting board?!?!

See, this is why climate change isn’t real. (I’m definitely joking)

Good point.

Or apathy, (back to fox news to tell me to worry about the caravans)
