Global Warming Causes Rising Sea-Levels In New York

Animation shows flooding that would occur as the result of the storm surge from a Category II hurricane, combined with a projected sea level rise of 2.2 feet (0.7 meters) anticipated over the coming century. Find out more http://www.net.org

it is said that in a major ice age the seas drop 300 feet . so far in the last trenty years the rise in sea level is no noticable . or in other words , un-measurable .

Very enjoyable thank you

good work here

except that the ice caps are on land masses (Greenland, Antarctica, and the Islands of the Canadian Arctic).

there is one big gaping hole in the sea level rise thing... water displacement. There are fewer water molecules in a cubic meter of ice than in a cubic meter of water. So the ice caps are displacing more water than is actually in them. So this means when all that ice melts, water flows in to fill up the difference. meaning the ice caps melting will actually cause a drop in sea level...

Yeah we also thought the Earth was flat. Science progresses and gets better and more accurate over time? Heaven forbid!

And the fact is that the ice you're probably talking about is easily explainable. Like say thin ice that only lasts that year? Other than that, show this "20%" that you're talking about.

Actually you're probably retarded because you think one year means something compared to decades. Not sure why you're so racist to yourself. You're probably just conservative.

There is a very good chance I am retarded, I should get tested. (I am black after all.) The fact is that the ice caps have grew 20% in the last year. Thousands of years ago most of Canada and America was covered in a mile thick of ice. (you may of heard of the ice age) so unless all the wholly mammoths farts caused the earth to heat up. It is a natural for the earths temperature to fluctuate.

PS in the 80s we worried about global cooling
