Study predicts one meter sea level rise by 2010
Wanna bet? A new study predicts the sea will rise by one meter by 2100.
How they come up with this number is a mystery to me, as every study I have read, including every IPCC report, says the sea has been rising about 1 to 2 millimeters per year for the last few centuries. At this rate, it will take between five hundred and a thousand years to get a rise of one meter.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Yes.. 5cm by 2100 is considered a pessimistic view of sea rise, 50cm is considered ludicrous by the IPCC. Sea level rise is one of those topics I try to slip into the conversation to see if I’m talking to a global warming nut. If they start talking about people being displaced by sea level rises or NYC being abandoned then I know there’s no point continuing a conversation with them.
BTW, a 1m sea rise wouldn’t even get anyone’s feet wet in NYC, so even if you believe this stupidity you’re still going to fail to get anyone screaming for carbon taxes in that state.
I saw a BBC article where a researcher wen’t to micronesia or someplace Gore said would go underwater. They found the water levels had droped a foot or so.
Opps.
Maldives not Micronesia.
