Continuing on from that horrific, panic inducing doom and gloom, we’re boned report on sea level rise from the other day
(Christian dis-Science Monitor) From Cape Hatteras, N.C., to north of Boston, Mass., tide-gauge records reveal sea levels have increased on average about 0.08 inches (2 millimeters) per year from 1950 to 2009. Globally, meanwhile, sea levels have increased about 0.02 inches (0.6 millimeter) per year during that window.
Everybody paaaaanic…..wait, what? .02 inches worldwide? .08 inches from Hatteras to Boston?
Oh, and here’s another spit take worthy story
The summer may seem chilly, but Swedish researchers say climate change could significantly raise temperatures in Lapland. Average temperatures in Finland’s far north may rise by an average eight degrees Celsius by the end of the century.
It’s not, but it could!!!!!11!!! We have a saying in the South for that kind of writing: bless your heart.

You know, I read somewhere that someone once might have said that our world’s temperature could possibly rise another 200 degrees by the end of the millennium. I mean, if you take that 80 degree slope of temperature rise to its inevitable conclusion.
