But not too far inland everywhere. Climate change has already caused 30% of the land surface to become desert as the growing aridity triggered by the ice age continues to cause water to flow downhill faster than it can be equitably redistributed to impoverished areas. Until the aridity causes the warming cycle to complete, it’s going to be pretty dry for a lot of the inland areas. It is a very long and very stable climate cycle. Mayflies only see the warming, though.
Geologists and climatologists tell us that over the course of history there have been about 20 cycles when the glaciers would advance and retreat as they thawed and refroze.Sheets of ice covered all of Antarctica, large parts of Europe, North America, and South America, and small areas in Asia. In North America they stretched over Greenland and Canada and parts of the northern United States. The remains of glaciers of the Ice Age can still be seen in parts of the world, including Greenland and Antarctica.
What I’m trying to figure out is what kind of gas guzzlers mankind was driving back then to cause the glaciers to retreat from Ohio all the way up to the Arctic?
For thousands of years, humans knew to move with the elements. Seems with all of our newfound wisdom, we’ve forgotten that shorelines have always changed……and always will.
Al Gore bought an ocean view property for $8 million. In a town loaded with Hollywood celebrities, you couldn’t buy a beach property for that. Wikipedia lists the elevation of Montecito, California as 180 feet. If every bit of ice on earth melted, the sea level rise would be about 210 feet. He could just go back to Tennessee then.

Might have to move to that ancient totally landlocked port that’s 10 miles inland. Maybe it’ll be usable in a few years.

Global warming is looking pretty good in the red states – warmer weather, fewer hurricanes – it is only the coastal elites who have a problem with it.

5 meters won’t do it when both Greenland (20 ft sea level rise) and Antarctica (200 ft sea level rise) both melt.

Did anybody else notice that B.C.’s beach shrunk while he was waiting for an answer?

But it’s not global warming causing the rise in sea levels. That hoax has been disproved by mankind’s “best” minds.

Nice try, M&H. But I’m still waiting for HONEST truth that proves global warming, not statements that no one can really back up at this time.

Plant other crops or engineer better ones or desalinate and pump in more water or switch to aquaculture.
