NASA: Rising sea levels more dangerous than thought

[Voice of Reason 10,298]

And looking at proof that existed long before humans were "changing the climate", the earth was under a lot more water than it is today. Guess what... it will be again. When? When it is time. Not before. Getting excited about the change of climate equates to excitement surrounding the fact that water is wet. Tides ebb. The sun rises and sets. One day, it will cease to shine. And the climate will change.

It is all about the ever-changing landscape. Matter is not destroyed, it simply changes state and location.

And weather cannot be predicted accurately beyond the hour. Not sure I can really believe climatologists trying to predict weather out a year or more.

OMG, the ocean levels are rising dangerously!!!!

Ummmm, are you SURE about that??

We as humans are but a microscopic speck in the overall cosmos. We just THINK we are important, and that the climate depends on us.

I realize this is data for the USA only, but only two record highs were recorded after 1994 among all 50 states: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._state_temperature_extremes

People seem to have forgotten the dustbowl era. MANY record highs were recorded then,

And if one wants to go back a few years more, one can explore the various temperature fluctuations globally:

Global warming science:

Warmer water is salter and therefore heavier. That means it sinks into the deeper layers of the ocean, and the contrast between this warm water and the undersea ice canyons contributes an unknown but substantial amount of sea level rise.

Real science:

http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/coldocean.html

Cold water has a higher density than warm water. Water gets colder with depth because cold, salty ocean water sinks to the bottom of the ocean basins below the less dense warmer water near the surface. The sinking and transport of cold, salty water at depth combined with the wind-driven flow of warm water at the surface creates a complex pattern of ocean circulation called the 'global conveyor belt.'

Moral: In the global warming community, some idiot can always be found to spin the science to match the claim.

There has to be a moral to the story???

Are you a script writer for a U.S. TV series?

The seas have risen since the end of the last ice-age.

Climate change is a construct, just like racism and Obama's birth certificate.

Let me guess, you are not a scientist, but you play on TV?
