Combustion of available fossil fuel resources sufficient to eliminate the Antarctic Ice Sheet.
Few peer-reviewed study titles sound quite so much like a line spoken by the bad-news-bearing scientist from a dystopian sci-fi movie. But there it is. A real-worldand apparently very possibledystopia.
For what Ken Caldeira, a climate scientist at the Carnegie Institution for Science and an author on the paper, published Friday in the journal Science Advances, believes is the first time, he and his colleagues have shown that there are enough fossil fuels still in the ground to melt effectively all of Antarctica and ultimately cause as much as 200 feet of sea level rise.

Oh no! Just terrible! What will happen to all the penguins who live there in sub freezing temperatures?
Coastal cities were supposed to already be under water by now.
Those goalposts just keep:
Movin’ movin’ movin’, keep them goalposts movin’, keep them goalposts movin’, B.S.!
Through all kinds of weather
They’ll all lie together
Headed for the end of the trail.
Unicorns MIGHT destroy the world with their jumping...
Yippeeeeeeeee!
We know the planet has undergone periods of warming and cooling. As this happens private and public resources will need to be spent adapting to it. This may not happen for hundreds or thousands of years. By that time man will have better advanced technology in which to adapt to the change.
Instead the Left wishes to squander precious resources now fighting CO2 which is good for the planet and will have almost no impact on any climate change.
According to predictions from Algore, we're already under water, so what's a little more?
“This is hugh and series.”
Nah. It’s mute and irrevalunt.
You missed "may" and "probably".
FR seriously needs a like button.
Heck, the ice cubes in my freezer are melting! And my ice cream is suspiciously soft. This global warming thing is getting out of hand!
I didn’t know there were any major cities in Antarctica. Who will take in the Antarctican refugees?
I assure you that it wont. Take a look at this prediction generated by my latest climate simulation.
The annotations may not make sense to you because it is in a highly scientific shorthand I learned from the Myconids of Beta Brahe but, what it shows should be clear. When the water levels get high enough the hollow earth will drink in all the excess through the North Pole. After swirling around within the bowels of the earth and balancing our cosmic humors, it is excreted through the opening in Antarctica.
Simple really...
Yes, simple, just like you said! (This is why I sooo love freerepublic.com. The comments are often way better and far more entertaining than the articles!)
Isn’t that where that global warming exploration ship got stuck in the ice and had to be rescued?
Yoda may someday come to Earth and tell me...”The Force is Strong with this one”
We’re DOOMED I Tell you DOOMED YAwN!
Someone’s grant must be up for renewal.
No grantee, no eatee.
