On the other hand sea level could drop or remain much the same or rise a little bit or drop a little bit or even some combination of these. And we have the proof!

Sea levels have been steadily rising for 40,000 years. What a brave prediction! lol

They misplaced the decimal point. It’s 700 feet.

I mean really, didn't Dr. Goebbels teach these guys anything? If you're going to lie, you gotta make it a real big lie, make it 70000 feet...THAT will get people's attention.

A 2C rise in average global temperature would not be enough to melt any significant antarctic ice - it's too far below freezing there. It would take thousands of years for even a few feet of sea level rise and by then the world would probably be into its next ice age with the sea levels falling a couple of hundred feet instead.

This article is kind of a big 'nothing' speculative scare story.

BTW, I personally increased the average level of my 1/2 acre back yard by 2 meters by having backfill hauled in for free from new construction excavations. Imagine if 500 million people did that how much land we could reclaim from rising sea levels:)

Global Sea Level Could Rise As Much As 70 Feet In The Future.

And I could marry Kathy Ireland. Never mind that both outcomes are essentially impossible.
