Sea Level Rise Opportunities

Future Water Proof Corporation (FWPC) is a venture-capital backed enterprise embracing the challenges of climate change, and in particular rising sea levels, through the implementation of Global Warming Utilization Management.

FWPC sees the future rise in sea levels as an opportunity to maximise business growth, while at the same time improving the lives of everyday city-dwellers.

The climate changed a lot in the past, before any hu-mans were around - why? You don't know? I thought as much.

NEWS:

Methane Releases from Arctic Shelf May Be Much Larger and Faster Than Anticipated

NSF - March 4, 2010.

Research results, published in the March 5 edition of the journal Science, show that the permafrost under the East Siberian Arctic Shelf, long thought to be an impermeable barrier sealing in methane, is perforated and is starting to leak large amounts of methane into the atmosphere. Release of even a fraction of the methane stored in the shelf could trigger abrupt climate warming.

Hey dude whaty software did you use for your flood model, was it ArcSecne by any chance ?

[Jeremiy2]

Right Einstein, just remember most of these flooded areas will then be frozen after succesions of turbulant weather, so wont be like Venice, it will be more like legos in a cooler in back of your pick up truck

[eclecticshaman]

Global Warming would NOT in fact rise Global sea levels.

Think of it this way if you put a bottle of water in a freezer, the water in the bottle actually expands rather than contracts. Which would mean if all the worlds ice caps melted the sea levels in our oceans would decrease. Ice weighs more than Water.

[dardraa]

actually that only occurs with the northpole since its like a giant icecube but the giant glaciers "northern canada, greenland and the southpole" which are all on land will drain in to the ocean and increase the sea levels.

[WolYou]

eclesticshaman:

1. Ice has less density (=more volume) than water. Thats why freezing ice explodes bottles. Therefore ice is lighter than water.

2. Your "ice-caps" are already in the sea.Called "shelf-ice". This wont rise sea levels (about 0.5 mill. km3 in total).

3. The land-ice (about 40 mill. km3 in total most of it in Antarctica) is another story. If this melts, it will rise sea levels (70m), because its not in the sea and therefore adds water to the oceans when it melts.

Understood?

[BeondaPale]

lol - I live in New Orleans. I'm WATCHING it happen NOW

[TheTruthHurtsYou]

So, since ocean levels are the same as they were over 500 years ago, what is your point?

[Dangerwinn]

SOS Everyone must watch this now! Urgent warning from NASA!! Please pass this message on!

watch?v=JUtVQ7QbCNU

[2289567]

Are you sure this is from a 20 inch sea level rise?

[nibbsy7]

its meant to be 60 meters

[gungadin777]

Wow, use google earth and everyone thinks it's true.

Global warming is such a hoax.  There is not proof, only speculation without evidence. They say the temperatures are rising. Then, when you ask why it's so cold some days, they say it can have the opposite effect and make it cold out.

OK, so are we suffering from global warming and cooling at the same time? I guess that would even things out, right?

[Murmoles]

Our planet is getting warmer. As polar ice caps melt they introduce a huge volume of freshwater to the ocean. This mixing of salt water and freshwater disrupts the warm ocean currents which makes it feel colder. It could also induce an iceage.

As well as all of that...ever heard of seasons?

[thehumor]

then the dutch are fucked up :( im dutch :((

[thehumor]

then the dutch are fucked up :( im dutch :((

[IH8NRDZ57]

people will notice the sea rising (which it wont) and will move away (dont build homes on the coast if your afraid of seas rising)

[littelG333]

True fact. most of the cities by coastline will be flooded by 2060 i read it in a glbal warming fact webiste this is true it says it on numerous global warming websites i better move out of boston by 2060 lol i live there.

[MTVvideos08]

its scary knowing this will happen one day

[1337cshacker]

Darned right debatable. FACT: "Global Warming" is directly to the sun. Ice caps on mars are melting, think our SUV's are doing that? What about ice core samples that point to the relationship of 'co2 levels' and the 'average temp' of earth, is totally opposite, and scientific fact. Gore still rides his plane, because he knows the truth. The carbon credits are a fraud to American people

[nickmb1978]

oh well fuck it buy a boat instead of a car or better yet a car that turns into a boat that would be bad ass

[Gondring]

Washington Post Headline, November 2, 1922: "Arctic Ocean Getting Warm; Seals Vanish and Icebergs Melt" Yes, 1922...look it up on the Washington Post website (choose Archive Search)

[fred21037]

K  Tell al stop taking private jets around the country and also your senator Put the fans up that will power the whole area

incase you all dont know Mass is not a great

area for people in the other 49 states to come visit

[AndreasAntoniusMaria]

Simple solution for Boston: Build a nice Dutch dike!

[thehumor]

lol. dikes wont help if that happens

[mastergregg]

and plus ozone layer will heal it self like it has 100 times b4!!!

[smartalec1994]

no one's talking about the ozone layer...(lol)

[mastergregg]

if the ice melts into water >sea will go down because of surface area decrease and global warming isnt real THERE ISNT ENOUGH CO2 FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING!! THE SEA MAKES MORE CO2 THAN MAN MADE BY LIKE 30 TIMES. plus in grenhouse gas chart water vapour>83% of it and co2> 5% so isnt water vapour causing glob warmin!?sea levels have been way higher b4 so has the temp 2000 yrs ago in medival times the temp was really! high! there was no cars and factories back there!

[smartalec1994]

you bring up the medieval warming period... Yeah, there was a slight warming, but it's only about a tenth of what's going on now. We've pushed it beyond the natural cycle.

[princekiwi05]

it aint even boston

[jakebob72003]

Don't believe the propaganda that the oil companies are spending billions on yearly!! Oil is in control but the future is still in our hands THINK FOR YOURSELF! FOR YOUR CHILDREN"S FUTURE!!

[jeg1987]

I have to write a paper about this.  It freaking sucks...

[whpch2000]

Just pump it full of Liberal BS & you'll get an A. The key to doing well in school is telling the professors what they want to hear. Essay questions are the best for that.

[Redfox161616]

well were humans HEHEHEHE WE REPE WHAT WE SOOO AND WE LOVE IT

[RockinJoeDavis]

As we warm the world sea level will rise, estimates range from 30 ft to 100 ft or 150 ft or perhaps more. This is because we are melting the great ice masses of the earth. If we even increase sea level 30 ft we would flood alot or portions of the great cities of the world.

[repcs1981]

oh pls, our earth is FINE. Weather fluctuates. Its hot, global warming, its cold, global cooling. During the last 100 years there have been two general cycles of warming and cooling recorded in the U.S. We are currently in the second warming cycle. Overall, U.S. temperatures show no significant warming trend over the last 100 years. This has been well - established but not well - publicized

[repcs1981]

Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore warned hundreds of U.N. diplomats and staff on Thursday evening about the perils of climate change, claiming: Cigarette smoking is a "significant contributor to global warming!"

While it's true that cigarette smoke contains carbon dioxide, it's in very small amounts, and a drop in the bucket compared to the daily breathing of six billion humans.

[natlenvirotrust]

Well, let's think about this one. The carbon in CO2 from cigarettes was converted by tobacco plants from C02 originally in the air, so you'd think it would have a net zero effect on the overall C02 levels in the atmosphere when you burn it. Same with breathing, since we're breathing out carbon that we took in from plants or from animals that ate the plants. But, if forested land is being cleared to plant tobacco, that would be cause for concern.

[repcs1981]

the real question is why we are allowed to feed this junk to children. Global warming is another b.s. propaganda for means of population control and our freedom. Global warming is a matter of opinion, not fact. Weather changes has been happening for thosands of years. More deaths = good. Katrina. how slow can you respond. Remember Martial Law was imposed in New Orleans. Dont give up your rights to bear arms, guns = freedom. You want the truth? google HAARP and watch ?v=GzazIMyDmD8

[natlenvirotrust]

According to the vast majority of climate scientists, global warming is as much a fact as scientific concensus gets -- the nice thing about science is that it's open to being questioned and leaves room to change. But the evidence -- changing ecosystems and melting icecaps -- seems incontrovertible. More deaths=good? If that's how you feel, I can't do much to reach you. Perhaps the rest of us had rather try to help our all of our society thrive than to just grab what we can and protect our own.

[forkeat]

did you see Apocalypto? Theres a scene in it with a Mayan high priest using an eclipse to manipulate the people thru fear. This is the same thing al gore is doing with this little warming trend which is just part of a normal cycle. The earth is supposed to cool slightly for the next 30 years.

[forkeat]

CO2 emission sources: Oceans-------59.5% Decaying vegitaion----17.9% Plant and animal respiration--17.9% Human made----4.7% (factories, cars, fireplaces, breathing, etc.) The human input of CO2 into the earth is insignificant compared to natural sources, i.e. 4.7% to 95.3%. Quit worrying about global warming

[forkeat]

The Oregon Petition — signed by 18,000 scientists world-wide states:

"There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate."

[Stingerbillion]

@repcs1981 You actually believe your bullshit? Amazing. Global warming is not a "b.s" it's a proven scientific fact. In case you don't believe me, you can do simple research or stop watching fox news. It's that easy.

[datzfast]

@Stingerbillion mars has global warming,it ice caps are diiapearing. i blame gore for it
