NOAA Administrator On Dramatic Sea Level Rise: “Failing To Plan Is Planning To Fail”

They even throw good tax-payer $$$ after bad in continuing to rebuild, repair and re-insure on ground that will inevitably be further inundated instead of allocating those monies to mitigation and on relocation onto viable land.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am to talk to you about energy in the future. I will start by telling you why I believe that the energy resources of the past must be supplemented. First of all, these energy resources will run short as we use more and more of the fossil fuels. But I would like to mention another reason why we probably have to look for additional fuel supplies. And this, strangely, is the question of contaminating the atmosphere. Whenever you burn conventional fuel, you create carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is invisible, it is transparent, you can’t smell it, it is not dangerous to health, so why should one worry about it? Carbon dioxide has a strange property. It transmits visible light but it absorbs the infrared radiation which is emitted from the earth. Its presence in the atmosphere causes a greenhouse effect It has been calculated that a temperature rise corresponding to a 10 per cent increase in carbon dioxide will be sufficient to melt the icecap and submerge New York. All the coastal cities would be covered, and since a considerable percentage of the human race lives in coastal regions, I think that this chemical contamination is more serious than most people tend to believe. At present the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has risen by 2 per cent over normal. By 1970, it will be perhaps 4 per cent, by 1980, 8 per cent, by 1990, 16 per cent [about 360 parts per million, by Teller’s accounting], if we keep on with our exponential rise in the use of purely conventional fuels. By that time, there will be a serious additional impediment for the radiation leaving the earth. Our planet will get a little warmer. It is hard to say whether it will be 2 degrees Fahrenheit or only one or 5. But when the temperature does rise by a few degrees over the whole globe, there is a possibility that the icecaps will start melting and the level of the oceans will begin to rise. Well, I don’t know whether they will cover the Empire State Building or not, but anyone can calculate it by looking at the map and noting that the icecaps over Greenland and over Antarctica are perhaps five thousand feet thick."

With the little amount of progress towards carbon neutrality and loopholes as to not accounting for military emissions into the “neutrality equation”.

Years ago, when I was very young, I was reading the predictions about Earth changes by Edgar Cayce, who was a seer during the first half of the 20th century. My first reaction was, "Wow! I want to see these things!" Regarding sea level rising, floods, catastrophic weather changes, etc. Then I caught myself short when I realized the destructions, sufferings and deaths that would come with them and decided I didn't want to witness these things. But, here I am! Cayce predicted these changes back in the 1930's and 40's before science began validating what he saw. (Cayce passed away in mid to late 1940's.) And things will get much, much worse if mankind doesn't make changes. I can only hope more people, especially those in charge, takes these Earth changes seriously. Otherwise, we are in for a very rough ride.

The scientists are not wrong ... Those events are very hard to time correctly. At the same time they do not wish to be alarmist and pesimistic. I live near some glaciers in Europe (CH) and all have reversed direction (gone back!) the direcion of flow, for many kilometers. But that is not the worst reduction in ice volume ! At the same the thickness has been reduced by 50% over the entire surface surfies of the glaciers which represents a much larger volume of ice.

BS

[@Kardashev1]

Considering the US has pumped out more CO2 historically than any other country they should be the most responsible for helping poor countries to adapt. And expecting China & India to altruistically give up on developing their nations & cutting carbon releases is totally unrealistic & unfair. The west should be stepping forward with drastic measures to cut their own carbon output with planned cooperation with the rest of the world. trump set things back dramatically, but the world must still try.

[@iamdone7094]

ya i bet you would like that

[@kingssuck06]

After a couple of billion people die, we might do something. I'm not expecting much before that happens.

[@corvusboreus2072]

Nothing to say regarding documented accelerating rise in global sea levels?

[@aurora_occidentalis2248]

Didn't Obama slow the rising of the seas in 2007?

It is theoretically impossible to prosper without the fossil fuels.

[@iNCoMpeTeNtplAyS]

Nope we could prosper without fossil fuels but the economy would slow down and according to the reds, we can't have that now can we.

‘There Was Blood Everywhere’: Six Kids Reported Dead After Overnight U.S. Raid in Syria. Pentagon Confirms Women and Children Dead in U.S. Special Forces Syria Raid. Four children, two women and seven men were reportedly killed during the two-hour exchange which reportedly left behind blood-stained walls and “scattered” body parts. U.S. troops were also forced to blow up one of their own helicopters in a controlled explosion during the operation after it experienced a mechanical failure. This would have been to prevent it falling into terrorist hands, as happened when U.S. forces left up to 167 aircraft, including 33 Black Hawk helicopters for the Taliban to commandeer after President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal in August 2021.

[@WJV9]

I think you mean President Donald Trump who signed withdrawal in Feb. 2020 and drew down troops to 2500 in December 2020 so it would be a disaster for Democratic president.

[@Glimmmerra]

@@WJV9 Perfect response and totally ACCURATE. FACTS matter.

[@robertstanford1778]

Yup it was Trumps parting gift to Biden. But try getting someone on the right to admit it.
