Ramping up the rhetoric. They are looking comical.
>>Why will sea level rise?<<
Ice that currently is on land. But even that over-simplifies. And that is their problem. Their models have been proven to be comically wrong. They are, quite literally, the little boy who cried wolf, except there will never be a wolf in their lifetime, so this story ends differently.
>>There are plenty of glaciers that are not floating on the ocean, but located on land, like Greenland, or Antarctica. <<
And the Antarctica mass is increasing.
And that is a MASSIVE part of the ice. After all, the north pole is not a land mass.
What many people don’t consider is that the South pole could get colder, but if there is no precipitation, the ice does not thicken and, over time, could even decrease. Meanwhile, it could warm up considerably, but get massive precipitation, effectively draining water from the ocean.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg of complexity. Pun intended. ;)

I realize there isn’t anything we can do to stop it, but we should probably elect more Democrats anyway, just in case.
And anyway, Mother Earth is weeping. I feel awful about it.
Hmm...
A two meter rise in the worlds oceans would require that 23,250,585,600,000,000.00 cubic feet of melted ice, i.e. water, result from global warming.
Somebody call me after the first trillion cubic feet.
Hold on to your wallets.
I am very glad that you managed to get the ping list notified, before the sea sweeps us all away.
Damn metric system!
