  2. Someone living 1 meter above sea level deserves to go the way of the dodo. The rise of seas has been almost insignificant over the last 100 years, subsidence of land being the overwhelming factor in apparent sea level increases. There are also areas on earth that having coastlines that are rising.

  3. As the governments and other interested parties wish to keep us living in a state of fear,(Michael Crichton),it would be handy if they were to feature a fearometer with every article.
    Perhaps a scale running from “Uneasy” to “it’s over,kill yourself” illustrated by an actual meter at the top of each article with the needle pointed to the appropriate position. The object has always been to tell us what and how to think,soa little more guidance wouldn’t hurt.
    Right now here in B.C.,due to climate change our entire Province is on fire. According to Eastern media,there is nowhere to run,nowhere to hide (J.J.Cale),and we don’t know whether to run,shit or go blind (Jack Bence).
    I personally am in a state of low panic,after I finish my second cup of coffee,will consider what to do.
    I could sure use some guidance from my betters.

  5. If you are going for Jack Bence’s second option make sure you do that in Victoria in the vicinity of the legislature. 😉 It would be suitable for the air there and hardly noticeable.
    Keeping us in a state of fear allows them to impose taxation based on fraud and to impose a statist political agenda.

  6. Shouldn’t somebody warn those people on those beautifully wide and white beaches?

  7. Canada’s last polar bear sends its condolences and begs humanity for $50/tonne carbon tax so evey one of Gaia’s creatures can live in climate Eden for all eternity.

    and infinitely more useful…

  9. What’s sad is that there’s only a thin veneer of difference between climate alarmists and religious end-of-time zealots. When your “science” uses the same tactics as Harold Camping then don’t be surprised if people treat you like any other religious cult.

    At least Camping eventually found humility and admitted his errors. I doubt the followers of catastrophic global warming will ever do the same.
    “But after the cataclysmic event did not occur in October either, Camping acknowledged his apocalyptic prophecy had been wrong and posted a letter on his ministry’s site telling his followers he had no evidence the world would end anytime soon, and wasn’t interested in considering future dates. ”

  10. Keeping us in a state of fear allows them to impose taxation based on fraud and to impose a statist political agenda.
    That’s a tactic used by many people in order to line their pockets. Create enough uncertainty about something and, thereby, convince the clientele to part with more of their money.
    I’m sure we could give several examples of that sort of thing.

  11. What difference at this point does it make ? The world’s population exploded, and we all DIED in 1975 … especially on the Indian subcontinent.

    The eco-left are about as accurate predicting the future as the Heavens Gate Cultists. Now if the eco-fringe nutbars would just follow the example of the Heavens Gatists … and catch a comets tail by suicide … then they can help fulfill their Dear Leader (Paul Ehrlich’s) prophecy … and dieeeeeee !!! Come on Al Gore, and David Suzuki … time to walk your talk … and commit sepiku!!! So honorable … so helpful to Mother Earth.

  12. Of course it’s been postponed. The mistake they made the first time around was making predictions that would occur within most peoples life time and memory. Though most people are subject to the “squirrel” effect and have the attention span of gnats.

  13. Not about the Maldives, but about perceptions of risk about climate change:
    We had a stampede lunch at work this week. I was late arriving, and had a table to myself. I pulled out my ebook because it was my second day of some detailed math work and I needed a distraction to clear my head. A guy I vaguely recognized sat down next to me and wanted to talk, so I put the book away and we started talking science fiction and science fact.
    One of the questions he had for me had to do with the sci-fi that I wasn’t willing to view with suspension of disbelief (that is, where they set the groundrules for that group of stories and you should ignore whether they work or not because they’re background that will not be explained, but that set the basis for how that world or series of books works.
    After he brought up ethical dilemmas and what would happen if pleasure robots became sentient and rebelled (a la Westworld TV show) and I laughed a little, he asked what I thought was funny. I said that dealing with ethical dilemmas wasn’t a strong point of our society and asked he he thought that man made climate change was thought to be a problem today. He agreed that it was. I asked if he knew what the precautionary principle was. He said he did. I then asked whether the hundreds of millions who depend upon deserts shrinking because of carbon dioxide fertilization who were alive today who would otherwise have starved to death should be included in the discussion, and why what could happen in a hundred years invokes the precautionary principle but the willful starvation of the poorest people in the world in the next decade in the name of preventing possible climate change didn’t invoke the precautionary principle. He thought for a moment, then wanted to go back to the ethical questions surrounding sex with robots. As long as the discussion was about the absurd he was happy to continue, but real-world cases would be problematic.
    Turns out he’s one step below the VPs in the company. Whoops.

  14. What I have gleaned over my 74 years (and counting) is that, on planet earth, thing happen very very slowly, bo our measure of time, or very very suddenly as in an asteroid hit.
    The idea that in a few decades we are going fry in our own juice is preposterous … it just doesn’t work that way.

  15. Hey ! I would muccccchhhhh rather talk about sex robots than “climate change”. Although I am neither an early adopter of technology or premature about anything associated with the topic. I will wait for the prices to come down … and for the geeks to work all the “bugs” out … I shudder to think what could go wrong if my enthusiastic use of the sex robot caused some circuits to fry.
    And try as I may … I haven’t found any prohibition in the Bible against sex robots. Can’t really define it as “adultary” “Sheri”, my sex robot, won’t be a “real” person, so … wth ? “Sheri” is just a “marital aide”. It is just a coincidence that my sex robot is named after my favorite HS girlfriend … favorite for her … skills.

  16. check the Darwin awards website for the guy with the two plug-into-the-wall belt sanders with the velvet belts that he’d installed into his couch. He shorted himself to death. The kids called 911.
    I’d hate to have to explain that to the kids.

  18. ’bout calling on others to support your argument.
    This was proposed by Ben Shapiro.
    The arguments of global warmmongers, when all the nonsense was exposed, usually end up with this: 9?% of scientists agree…..and so on and so on.
    It would seem that the reply to that should be: don’t tell me who said what, where, when……. tell me what you know.
    Mostly, if not as a rule, they don’t know.
    Most people here know more than a group of wormmongers put together.
    It is due to the simple fact that people here read pro’s and con’s.

  21. no one yet and likely never will to my satisfaction, explain how a rise of 1 mm sea level can be determined in face of wind and tide, temperature and CONSTANT waves.

  22. pffft. I remember paul ehrlich. oh he was a ‘genius of our time’. at the time, I was poor as a church mouse and saw the word ‘rich’ in his name. its ALL about money money money makes the world go around, the world go around.
    y’all have a good week. Im outta heaahhh.

  23. give it time, give it time kenji. couple years or 2 we’se gonna include robots in the category of who can git hitched.
    rocks, planets, fav pets, dead people, ghosts, huge crowds all married to each other. it’s all over the horizon right now . . . .
    to those who don’t think so, feel free to do a bit of ‘time travel’ to see what is possible.
