Calculate your one-day Carbon Belch !

1. If the seas rise in Australia, won't they rise everywhere else? If Australia goes 'down under' water, what happens to poor Hawaii? (Unless, of course, we're ruining gravity with our SUVs, too - eh?)
2. Since we're all toast in about 10 years anyway, may I please have my Sosha Security account liquidated? I want any money I've 'contributed' to my own retirement fund to be refunded with one lump sum. I've got plans for whatever little time I have left on the planet.
It’s Bush’s fault!
The Aussies are apparently even crazier than we are.
It’s hard to comprehend that the crumbling semi-insane USA is still the last best hope of mankind!
Scotty, please beam me up.
Words that come to mind immediately when I read this.
Exactly what I thought. Isn’t that why they call it sea level? It’s the same everywhere? Is sea level somehow higher in Oz?
BTW, most of HI is pretty mountainous. Any rise will be a lot less noticeable than someplace like FL with lots of flat land right off the beach.
Another scenario showed Sydney’s extreme or maximum sea levels used to calculate flood and erosion risks from storms and high tides had risen 10cm over the past 40 years, and were expected to rise a further 10cm by 2020.

Lest we panic immediately = 10 cm is the width of a fist or the birth canal when a baby’s head is entering the world. I hardly think this will sink Australia or cause coastal cities to die.
Birth canal? Really?
PS: The tidal range in Sydney is about two feet to three feet twice a day. How do we know where this huge 4 inch increase is being measured? Is the bottom silting up? Are the pilings sinking down?
The writer of this article is a useful idiot.
You just don't get it. We're doomed.
Yeah, we’re all going to die! I get it! LOL!
I wasn't aware that "Cairns" was currently protected by over funded, under-maintenanced dumb dikes............
RELAX EVERYBODY!
I saw on “Martha Stewart” today where Bill Clinton has a plan to “save the world”.
Wow, that sure sounds conclusive to me!
What a steaming load.
Yes, odd as it sounds that is correct. It’s the “magic” dilation diameter when the doctors clear the room of all nonessential visitors and the kid is on the way out. I witnessed it 3 times, my 2 daughters and recently my grandson.
duh.
LOL, actually my post’s intended meaning was “Couldn’t you have used a different example than a birth canal? Kind of random, don’t you think?”
I'm kinda hungry. Can I be doomed with pizza?
What rotten luck for *Bubba Squirt. He actually had a chance to make a difference - and what did he do? Bombed the snot out of Kosovo.
By just how much did that heat the planet?
