[quote=TheManWithAUsername][quote=Anonymous]the sea level rise issue is mostly ridiculous hype.  the consensus amongst climate change scientists (not the skeptics) is if there is any rise in sea level, it would be enough to swamp a beach chair by the end of this century.  Sea level has actually dropped since 2004.[/quote]
It amazes me that so many people are so comfortable speaking with absolute certainty about things about which experts acknowledges great uncertainty. Where is the consensus that there will be no real effect? If by "swamp a beach chair" you mean "less than five feet," that fits with estimates, which estimates are very uncertain. More importantly, even a few feet will result in the loss of several thousand square miles of land in this country.

[quote=Anonymous]As for warming - since recorded history, the flowering periods of civilizations have occurred during warm periods, not cold ones.[/quote]
You're actually saying that global warming will be good for us because in the past, when heating, transportation, and communication systems were incomparably primitive, warmth was a plus. You actually believe that those examples can be applied to the present and future?

[quote=Anonymous]No evidence whatsoever or more severe storms because of warming.  If anything, it is the opposite.[/quote]
I'm not sure what you're goal is here, but these terse statements in an authoritative voice do nothing to convince anyone of anything. Maybe you want to try explaining yourself if you're posting things here.[/quote]
