Ocean levels have already risen one foot:
Global Warming,

Hmmm. This scenario seems familiar. Where have I seen this before? Where have I seen this before?
I've got it. Gilligan is using the stick that the Professor has been using to mark the water level to place his lobster traps. The island isn't really sinking and The Skipper is going to kick Gilligan's a$$ halfway across the island for making them work so hard at nights to move the huts to the tops of the hills.
Simple solution, stop using the marking sticks to hold the lobster traps and kick Gilligan's sorry a$$.
Shalom.
I think these global warming charlatains and prophets of doom need to have the taste slapped out of their mouths for using dubious science as a cover for a pushing political agenda. (i.e., anti-American efforts to wreck our economy in hopes that the desperate citizens will turn to the One True Faith of Socialism)
Well, more water above means higher pressure. Something that holds a seal at 1 atm. of pressure may very well leak at 2 atm. of pressure.
No, I don't think this is why the BigDig is leaking, I chalk that up to MA. politicians and the Unions. In other words, organized crime.
Number one, do we have data showing cause and effect? Number two, what was the change in the previous hundred years? No data? Hmmmm. What was it like a hundred years before that? Remember the good ol' days, when glaciers covered Boston? The sea level was REALLY low then!
Does anyone remember the old Gilligan's Island episode where Gilligan kept moving the Professor's water level measuring stake further out in the lagoon to catch bigger crabs? The Prof thought the island was sinking, and everybody panicked... It sounds like the author of this drivel just saw that one, and figured nobody else would remember it.
Is Teddy swimming in the Atlantic again?
In fact, all the old maps I've seen of Boston show a lot less land and a lot more water -- looks like another 100 years and we'll be the midwest!
Frankly, I never put ice in my water glass, it dilutes the water.
I'm heading to Boston in two weeks.
Should I push up the date to make sure that it'll still be there?
Me thunk'in that Boston has sunk'in of foot because of all of the intellectual heavy weights that live there.
When the Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Complex
starts to show signs of high water levels
that is when i'll start to believe.
Celebrating 77 Years of Swimming
Excellence with no rising water.
If global warming is true Las Olas and
other intercoastal areas will be the place
to watch in Ft. Lauderdale and the water
levels look the same to me for 30 years.
See you at the beach!
Let me guess......no say it isn't so......
It's Bush's fault?
Maybe it's because it has been snowing for 150 days!
Also, since Boston is built mostly on Land Fill, it is more likely that the city is sinking.
Man the boat, heck, BUILD AN ARK.
And us Florida residents near the coast never even saw it happen. Must be new math or something where a new foot equals a millimeter.
and an uncertain degree of increase in the frequency and intensity of hurricanes
And since FLoridians are intimately aware of hurricanes, this statement is total B.S. Even the NOAA hurricane forcaster (whose name escapes me at this moment) said hurricane intensity and frequency has nothing to do with global warming. No evidence exists to support that. This guy needs to quit smoking what he is smoking.
... thanks to the Big Dig.
Everybody outta the pool!
????????????????
Upside down Greenland, maybe?
