Global Warming, er Climate Change is a National Security Threat


Quote: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.
 

This is so far from a "guarantee" that it's laughable. Right now the sea level is rising at a rate of 3mm per year. That's the same rate it rose in the early part of the 20th century. There has been no increase from the natural rise that has occurred since the end of the little ice age. If you remember, I posted a link to the Miami tidal gauge. The rate of sea level rise has been constant.


 

3mm per year is 300mm per century. At this rate the sea will be 0.3 meters higher in 2115. The whole panic theory presumes that the rate will magically increase to 10mm per year. Assuming the increase in rate is gradual, it would have to increase to 20 or more mm per year at the end of the century. That's twice what the rate was during the post-glaciation period when there was lots of much more easily melted ice. Greenland is rarely warmer than freezing, Antarctica never. One meter by 2100 just can't happen.
