Is anyone paying attention to climate change? (Whiney Liberal Alert!)

For example, do we know how much of Grand Cayman’s land mass will disappear with a six inch rise in sea level, with a one-foot rise, with a three foot-rise, and so on?

My advice ... don't wait too long.

The climate is changing.

Always. Constantly.

It’s the natural cycle.

[Hiddigeigei]

The Arctic sea-ice melts, the sea level goes down (easy experiment with a couple of ice cubes in a glass of water). Open arctic sea, more snow on Greenland’s glaciers and Europe (“lake effect” - more albedo), and the sea level goes down. Caymans have nothing to worry about.

Get some flood insurance.

Hillary!08 said Change is good.

This is a case of when you get saturated with enough BS you no longer smell it.

Its hard to get excited about something you hear or read about everyday. After a while it gets old and boring. The Global warming nut cases have overplayed their hands and now the general public is no longer interested.

[TBP]

Another scientist says, “If you asked me a couple of years ago when the Arctic could lose all of its ice, then I would have said 2010, or 2008 maybe. But now I think that this evening is a reasonable estimate.”

I was talking to a friend today who said we are going to go through six months of a cooling period before it gets really hot again.

The guy must be a prophet...

BTW, could this 6 mo cooling period be... AUTUMN AND WINTER?

[Dilbert San Diego]

I predict a strong cooling trend from October through March in the northern hemisphere. There could be snow and ice in many areas.

I was talking to a friend today who said we are going to go through six months of a cooling period before it gets really hot again.

That is likely. Then after about six months of that, it will start to cool down again.

Weird how it always seems to work out that way. We should hav scientists look into that.

[Dilbert San Diego]

We shouldn’t talk about “inconceivable” here on a family oriented web site. We know it has to do with birth control though.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Some people say more severe winters are a result of global warming. They say there’s more moisture or turbulence in the atmosphere, etc. So you could see more severe winter storms.

Geez, Al Gore has this all figured out doesn’t he? If there’s hot weather, then it’s global warming. If there are cold stormy winters, well, then because of global warming and atmospheric instability, then, the winter storms are caused by the same thing.

[Donald Rumsfeld Fan]

Factor in the effect of spring tides on top of a higher sea level, or a major hurricane-generated tidal surge as experienced with Ivan and we will be looking at some very serious problems here.

Someone should ask them why the Vikings named it “Greenland.”

[edcoil]

We have, over 500 say global warming is junk science.

I'm not paying attention to fractional temperature changes that shift from year to year, but yes, I'm paying attention to the Watermelon crowd.
I know what they're up to.
This is just another tool in their kit to herd the United States toward global socialism.

[Argus]

Oh this is terribly worrying. I believe the Cayman Islands are one of those places where Bill and Hillary stash their dough. Whatever will they do if it sinks?

[Billthedrill]

They don't have topographic maps in the Caymans?

[fatnotlazy]

Where I come from, it’s called fall and winter. :)
