Sea level rise.
It's been the subject of myth, legend and pop culture for millenia.

It is going to be one of the major destructive effects of global climate change.
So naturally, its something that makes deniers do and say crazy things.

Great choice of music. 50 years old song, relevant as ever.

"And admit that the waters around you have grown / and accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone"

Uncanny.

[greenman3610]

"A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall" would cover it as well.

[John Burt]

Another good choice of music would be Phil Ochs' "Days of Decision:

The shadows of doubt are in many a mind

Looking for an answer they're never gonna find

But they'd better decide, 'cause they're running out of time

For these are the days of decision.

thermal expansion is the biggest contributor over that last several decades, but ice sheets are coming on fast.

[brane child]

what of thermal expansion, a much greater contributor to sea level rise than melting ice....?

[Chuck111950]

Most of the world's ice presently exists on water therefore it already displaces its volume in the oceans. Land ice may cause the ocean to rise but at the same time those areas presently covered by glacial ice would become accessible to man for farming or other uses. Land lost to rising oceans would be exceeded by land recovered from retreating glacial ice. And this would only happen if the climate in those areas became more temperate, another plus for man's use. Stop the dooms day crap.

Figures you'd like this hippie shit.

Who said people dont want to debate with me? Youre making things up. Currently almost all US power comes from petroleum and coal, not wind and hydro, so electric cars would therefore run on that. Your very first claim was that "electric cars and charge stations were commonplace over 100 yrs ago." That right there speaks to your grasp of history. Also scientific journals are probably better sources of information than Noel Sheppards blog which you are apparently getting your information from. bye

No wonder people don't want to debate with you. All you seem to know is what govt. scientists peddle. Have you never heard of hydro power dams or wave power from oceans? No fossil fuels required & entirely renewable.

Gore Invests In Carbon Credit Company, Will Media Care? - NewsBusters

US Rep. Marsha Blackburn reported at a 2009 hearing that Gore stood to benefit personally from the energy and climate policies he was urging Congress to adopt. My points still stand and are indisputable. Bye.
