11 foot sea level rise imminent?

[Valjean]

New report of rapid ice melt in Antarctica. Enough water to raise sea levels ~11 feet (3.35m) may be freed by Totten glacier melt (the name itself is worrisome). The melting of Antarctica was already really bad. It just got worse. - The Washington Post

Not going to happen in NC. We don't believe in that kind of stuff down here.

The North Carolina state legislature ruled that officials would not be allowed to use the newest in technology to predict future sea-level rise.....

LOL -- and Florida's avoiding the problem by not speaking of it: http://Florida Bans the Term 'Climate Change' | Steven Newton
Maybe we can legislate this problem away.

Good idea; let's put a restraining order around the Atlantic. It must stay 400 ft away from the coastline at all times.

Heck, my dream of living on an habitable Antarctica may just come possible in my life time. And all those natural resources under that ice.

We need to all try really, really hard not to think about it. If we concentrate it will all go away. I believe that is the official position.

Man it would be awesome, my hill would be beachfront. Imagine the opportunities it would offer for snorkeling.

Now, if only that cape-wearing buffoon doesn't interfere, my plans will finally bear fruit. Stop me now, Alien!

I love how nature has adopted some kind of Russo-German sense of humor.
"And then, somehow, it got worse.."

Relax everyone. Just read the article, it says that it will only come to 11 feet in the northern hemisphere - so I'll be fine.

I don't believe that conclusion.
Your dream of ocean front property will happen!
