220 feet??? Albore doesn’t know much about math.
Boy, I better get working on a dock at my house. I should just about be beach front property.
“Albore doesn’t know much about math.”
I think whoever wrote this article, or supplied them with information is seriously misguided. Maybe he said 200 centimeters. This would be between 3 and 4 meters which is pretty much what some scientists have said in the past for the whole century. At some time since the end of the last ice age, sea levels were as much as 8 feet above their current level.
Saying that each meter rise could cause 100,000,000 climate refugees is probably correct. Many millions would have to move in Bangladesh and Pacific and Indian Ocean Islands. New Orleans, Miami, and others of our cities would have major problems. Holland would probably not make it. I am not saying I believe this will happen, merely that the consequences if it did are probably correct.
The writer says that 6.7 billion people would become climate refugees. That is the entire population of the world for heaven’s sake. There are large areas of Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americans that would be above water, even with 220 feet, which no one has been predicting.
I sincerely doubt that even Al Gore said these ridiculous things, except the effects of 1 meter which is probably about right. Why do some people have to muck up serious arguments with such ridiculous “facts”.
