So you really aren't coming across as insensitive, more or less coming across as a dumb ass.


So...you don't think global warming and the melting of the Greenland and polar icebergs are happening or what? I'm terribly sorry you live on the coast and will most liekly see that coastline be sent inland about 100 miles before you leave this world (that is, if things continue the way they are right now) but using the argument that the United States was built on coastal cities isn't very effective against global warming dude. It may be a true statement, but why do you think we were built on the coast in the beginning? Could it possibly be that the coastline is the first place we arrived at when coming across in ships?! FUCKING SHIT! Imagine that! haha

By the way, when this occurs, assuming nothing's done to prevent it, and we see a 25 foot rise in sea level globally, where will the Japanese people live? There are quite a few, and Japan will no longer exist, so...that's just one issue of oh, I'd say a billion more people in coastal cities and towns that'll have to relocate entirely...where will they live? I don't see anywhere when I look at the map...

^Once again who let the retard in here? Let's see, "first place we arrived when coming across in ships"? Pretty sure Texas, California, Florida, and Louisiana weren't one of the original 13 colonies. Let's see, what are coastal cities good for? Hmm maybe there ports? Maybe those ports import/export all of the United States goods? Nah, that doesn't sound right.

There, lets start with that, before I get into another argument with either a retarded 50 year old, or a 15 year old that doesn't know any better.

Disclaimer: Please for the love of god tell me you are 15 for you're own good.

Disclaimer II: Winds are getting strong, and so are the scotch's.

Where do you get your information from? Did you make this shit up?

I don't make shit up, it's called FACT of what top Scientists in the WORLD are proclaiming WILL come to pass if things don't change, and we continually pump greenhouse gasses from power plants, factories, basically anything within the scope of the industrial revolution, not to mention internal combustion vehicles.

By the way, I'm 29, and not ashamed to say it because you're seemingly getting your own words twisted and trying to make me feel stupid somehow, when you, yourself doesn't even know what you're speaking about.

Disclaimer: You didn't specify - and neither did I - when we said "Coastal Cities" I am not talking about the southern coast of the United States, I'm talking about on a global scale, the coastlines of every continent around the world. Perhaps you need to re-read my statements.

Disclaimer: If nothing is done, the world's sea level WILL rise to an approximated 25 feet total, give or take a foot or two. If this happens, islands are gone. The vast majority of Jamaica, Japan, Florida, Louisiana is completely gone, etc etc around the globe. Greenland is melting as we sit here and type back and forth to one another. Antarctica lost a huge chunk of it's ice cap the size of two states of Texas in the past few years - which, since you're ignorant of these things I'll let you know - is an astonishing rate of decrease all at once.

See, what happens is as the ice melts at the polar ice caps, it seeps through crevasses in the ice, eventually whittling it's way to the bottom, and when there's enough running water under a giant chunk of ice, it simply slides off into the ocean and melts.

Before too long, there won't be any more ice caps, because this will have happened all over. THAT'S what I'm talking about. Try reading an article once in a while - you might learn that living on the coast isn't gonna be the same as it is today as it will be in 50 years unless the global nations decide to stop pumping greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. The planet's in a natural temperature rise anyway, and we're simply piling on top of that with more radiation-trapping man-made gasses in the upper atmosphere.

I know this is quite a bit for you to comprehend all at once, but I hope you learned at least something with this.

"Melting of the Greenland and polar icebergs." LOL.

Thanks for keeping us updated on the storm Fletch. I'm up here in Lubbock but I have a lot of friends and Family in Houston. Although most of them are vacationing in Austin for the weekend.

why do you suppose Greenland was named "Greenland"?

It was advertising. "Greenland" was felt to attract more colonists than "Big Icecap"

Jamaica and Japan are both mountainous Islands. The vast majority of the land in both places is significantly more than 25 feet above sea level.

Human Beings don't live on top of mountains...so how does this change anything? If sea level rises that amount, the HABITABLE land there will be diminished by a great extent.

too bad we don't have an "ignore" button on here. Fools like this make me hate our education system.
