Do you understand physics at all?

What was it your high-priest said, a rise of 6 meters of sea level? Now I take it I don't need to explain physics, but there isn't enough water on the planet for such a thing, think for yourselve, how can de melting of the poles possibly lead to a 6 meter rise, don't you see how absurd that is.

Evidently not. My mind's still reeling at the sharp decline in debate IQ levels. Have all the seasoned deliberators gone home for the holidays?

Can't you understand basic science? Earth, it's round. Earth big, poles not so big, only a small part, and again earth is round. So rise of water needs lot of water, and there isn't enough water. These IIPC clowns have a good reason for bending over for the man with the moneydick but you don't, it doesn't make sense.

Six meters was over 100yrs away, and that's a worst case scenario anyway.
There's also more water in the ice than you think. When it melts you release, as you denailists love to pretend people have forgotten, the most serious greenhouse adjuster of the lot : water. That much extra water in the system get the temperature feedback working overtime. When that extra water heats up the system, all of the water on the planet will get bigger, to put it in terms even you might grasp. Bigger water = higher sea level.
You've probably denied CO2 is a geenhouse gas at some point. You may as well move on to denying the coefficient of expansion next. I'm sure your fabulous intuition for all things that needeth no facts can tell you right now if you ask it.
Tell me Frags, are you a religious man? Serious question.

No, honest answer

We're not talking Waterworld here; this isn't about entire Earth being flooded. Ecosystems, low-lying coastal areas and islands are being threatened (in some cases, of being (

Are you telling me this isn't worthy of any sort of attention?

And Fragony don't you live in a country that is more likely to be affected than most?

don' t worry we will be just fine

Whats all this unqualified bullshit going on here? 'needs lots of water', eh? Thats a good counterargument. How much is lots? If you mean 'earth is round' by basic science you've got a pretty hilarious view of it, I guess.
6m water-rise would be the fucking apocalypse though, no one is seriously saying that are they? You'd need to reconfigure the continental plates to something like the cretaceous layout to achieve that. But a more reasonable 0.5-1m rise would totally fuck everything up though - all those nice fertile flood plains people have been living on for the last few thousand years would quickly become either swamps or large inlets. I would imagine you could kiss Holland goodbye as well.
