Global Warming, er Climate Change is a National Security Threat


Quote:Did you read the article?



One meter in 200 years is hardly a cause for concern. Tuvalu was the poster child for sea level rise until someone compared satellite photos with decades old aerial photos and discovered that their land area had actually increased while the sea levels supposedly rose.

200 years ago we had just repelled a British attack. Both sides used muskets and sailing ships. Railroads weren't around yet, much less air travel. If humanity hasn't progressed sufficiently to deal with a one meter sea level rise 200 years from now, then we'll deserve whatever misery it causes.


2100 is 85 years now. Most projections are for this century. This one is actually a guarantee. There's a difference. Also, bear in mind these models are generally very conservative so as not to appear as alarmist. The reality is it will happen faster than the models predict.
