By 2100 visitors to Boston could be parking their boats, not their cars, in Harvard Yard.

Major cities in the northeastern U.S. and eastern Canada "are directly in the path of the greatest rise" in sea level if Greenland continues to melt due to global warming, a new study says.

No problem. With lots of federal money, Fenway can be made to float.

“We’ll take the good with the bad”

Think I’ll buy some beach front property in the Catskills. Plan ahead.

Unless something radical has changed I thought water sought its own level-and it did that immediately.

Therefore, how could the sea rise higher in New England than any where else? Did someone build a lock across the Atlantic?

Does this mean I can get a bailout loan against the stratospheric value of my impending waterfront property?

Wishful and washed-up in Westwood.

Temperatures have been dropping for the past 10 years, I believe. And a look at [the lack of] sunspot activity makes it a safe bet that this cooling trend is only just beginning.

No worries. This is a discussion of Globull warming. Logic does not apply.

Don’t look to the warm-mongers for fact, truth or honesty.

Being that I live just a few blocks from the East River, I look forward to some surfing when the surge comes. We will even have our very own Atlantis in the form of what was Roosevelt Island.

The author doesn’t appear to even have a college degree.

So, what are her qualifications for drawing such dramatic conclusions?

Let’s just say for argument’s sake that the sea level does rise 34 inches in Boston by the year 2100.

And let’s say that that 34-inch rise in sea level has destructive effects on buildings and other structures between the new and old sea levels.

You have 91 years to prepare for the coming apocalypse.

How about moving up the hill?

No sea level rise at all yet. Who are you going to believe, “the scientific consensus” or your lying eyes?

If Greenland is melting sooooo rapidly, The Florida Keys would already be under water.

Water depth there has not changed one iota.
