@TheVenetist well, historically, temperature rises, followed by CO2. Carbon Dioxide doesn't drive temperature change. it's all mind games. we are hardly the problem.

We have to take into account here that the poles are shifting, and if anything has more power over the oceans it's the Moon. Think about shifting tides changing how small islands receive ocean water. If the poles are shifting, then the Moon is only shifting the tides based off of the magnetic balance of water. Think about it, how can you see rising sea levels on a remote island when all other coastal cities are still there? Water distributes it's volume equally and we contribute so little.

@monkeymirror There's ice over sea level, retard.

reading State of Fear as we speak, this is all bull. climate changes, is warms and cools. we are hardly the cause.

@monkeymirror your right, but a lot of the ice is above sea level, any ice out of the water doesn't affect the sea level.

Water also expands when it is frozen. The volume in the ice caps is not the volume that if melted would threaten the world. Absurd global warming crap.
