We can always could on Warmists to provide hysterical…as in “loony tunes”, not funny…commentary. The original title of this Mashable piece was “Global warming to cause fastest rate of sea level rise in human history.”
Apparently, they thought that might have been too stupid even for the Cult of Climastrology, so they changed it to
Coastal mega-cities could see more than 6 feet of sea level rise by 2100
Which is equally as stupid, being based on reading a crystal ball, er, computer model.
With global climate talks kicking off in Marrakech, Morocco on Monday, a new study provides a sobering warning about what may happen to coastal mega-cities if decisive global emissions cuts are not made soon.
Based on a scenario in which countries fail to sharply rein in emissions of global warming pollutants, coastal cities are likely to see the fastest rate of sea level rise in human history before the end of the current century, the study found.
Could, may, likely. Very scientific. Really, scaremongering.
What’s more striking is that the study shows that more than more than 90 percent of the world’s coastal areas will see more than the global average sea level rise.
Huh? Let’s unpack that. They’re prognosticating that sea rise will be utterly different in some areas, which would be, you guessed it, the areas where they can fear monger the most.
The study, published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that if global warming pushes past 2 degrees Celsius, or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit, above preindustrial levels, about 80 percent of the global coastline may see more sea level rise than the global average.
Double huh? Why would sea level rise be drastically different? Oceans don’t work differently along the coasts where liberal cities reside.
“If the Paris Agreement fails and the worst-case scenario comes to pass, South Florida and the boot of Louisiana would not likely survive this century. Many more places, from Boston to Shanghai, would be gravely threatened,†said Ben Strauss, a sea level rise researcher at the nonprofit group Climate Central who is unaffiliated with the new study.
Keep pushing the non-scientific dogma in an attempt to scare people.
If the climate were to warm by 5 degrees Celsius, or 9 degrees Fahrenheit, above preindustrial levels by 2100 — which is roughly the path we’re on now — New York City could see more than a meter, or about 3.6 feet, of sea level rise with an even higher upper limit, when factoring in sources of uncertainty.
What path? We’ve seen a whopping 1.4 Fahrenheit increase since 1850. Never change, Cultists, never change. You provide so much great material to expose insanity.
And, yes, the article does state that this is all based on computer models.
hmmm since 1850/ Well the amount of CO2 going into the atmosphere then was much much less than it is now. The amount of industrialization was a small percent of what it is now and much less what it might be now/ Teach how many coal powered power plants did China have in 1850?
That 1.4 increase? 2/3s of that has happened since when Teach. in the last 40 years
Why is it that you never mention the RATE of increase which is much higher now, than in 1850.
In fact the RATE of increase has doubled in the last 50 years https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=rate%20of%20temp%20increase
it is like your math ability stopped with algebra and never went to calculus
Perhaps you might like to post the actual graph so others might see the 2x increase in RATE OF CHANGE
try to post more accurate info which would includung the TOTAL rise
but also showing that the rate of increase has not been steady bu that the rate of increase has been going up quiclky. Because thatrate of increase has been going up we have had 3 record breaking high temps years, something that has not happened during the time line yo chose
Was that intended to mislead?
I’m not quite sure what you’re babbling about, John. However, warming is not proof of anthropogenic causation. Just warming. Can you provide definitive data that shows that this warm period is different from the previous?
Teach was that the same crystal ball that predicted temps would continue to rise?
what about those that told/tell us that global cooling is about to start, do they use the magical 8 ball?
Looks like the crystal ball was more correct.
