Hardcore warmist's amazing admission
One of the world's most firmly global-warmist scientists has put his name to a scientific paper which says that even if humanity deliberately sets out to burn all the fossil fuels it can find, as fast as it can, there will be no troublesome sea level rise due to melting Antarctic ice this century.
Dr Ken Caldeira's credentials as a global warmist are impeccable. He is not a true green hardliner - he has signed a plea to his fellow greens to get over their objections to nuclear power, for instance, and he doesn't totally rule out geoengineering as a possible global-warming solution. But that's as far as he'll go: in Dr Caldeira's view, it is plain and simple unethical to release greenhouse gases into the air. There's no middle ground on that as far as he's concerned - he's not OK with gas power as an alternative to coal, for instance.
But he's a scientist, and like all proper scientists he's willing to admit inconvenient truths. In this case, the truth in question is his own prediction that no matter what humans do in the way of carbon emissions, sea levels are not going to rise by more than 8cm this century due to melting Antarctic ice. For context, the seas have been rising faster than that for thousands of years. They rose 17cm just during the 20th century, and the Antarctic cap is far and away the biggest body of ice on the planet.
Even if we're on the burn-it-all road, we're looking at a not-so-terrifying 8cm of sea level rise over the next 85 years. You, and your children, and your children's children, can pretty much relax...

Hi TSR, here’s another one for your list...
Does this mean that my investment in beach front property due to global warming sea rise in the Applachian Mountains may not be a good one?
Well, you personally are unlikely to reap the rewards. Maybe 100 generations from now...
Well not them. The idiots they brainwashed might jump off a few environmentally endangered cliffs during their crisis of faith however.
Religious fanatics rarely respond well to anything destroying a false god.
Somebody just lost their funding!
Only something as stupid as a liberal could believe this.
His “fellow greens” want to depopulate the Earth.
Sheila Zilinsky worked in the Canadian Government. She has attended Climate Change conferences and has heard speakers say that even if there is no science behind climate change, the goals make the lie justified. These people see humans as a virus on the planet.
She also worked for a friend of Al Gore and he would laugh at people for buying into Global Warming. He called them by the derogatory name, Pleebs. (a roman word for the lowest class of people.)
No, you shouldn't, but if they all arrange to be in a windowless basement tomorrow, it won't rise for them.
The analogy to the warmists should be obvious...
Darn! But I’m glad I didn’t buy the beach front property on the east side of the Rocky Mountains that I was offered.
It might still be beach front property, just lava instead of water when the Yellowstone super volcano goes.
Well, gee!
With the center of Louisiana being a whole 80 feet above sea level, I guess that’s a good sign.
Libs love echo chambers. What can be better than being surrounded by fellow thinkers, chanting "Four legs good, two legs bad!"?
WHAT!!!?? My Tennessee seaport is ready to go. We’ve got to burn more stuff. I’ll call Al Gore and see if he can burn his lights 24/7.

I think any warming is from the sun which is kinda big you know and even warms up Pluto.
The sun’s diameter is about 864,938 miles give or take a solar flare which BTW would burn Earth to a cinder.
One flick and we are ash.
The warmists are pinheads who are anti-science and pro political agenda. Yank their grants and funding. Make them roam the wilderness begging for forgiveness.
