Why didn't he know the obvious? And there are other, possibly dire effects of the **Greenland ice sheet melting, such as change in the thermohaline current, that is shift of the Gulf Stream making Britain and Northern Europe effectively an arctic zone. Ho-hum, nothing to worry about as Florida goes below sea level. AG* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.

They made a guess that it would accelerate so sea level would be "2 feet higher by the end of the century", well maybe so, but that would still make for a pretty dull disaster movie. Sure it might cause difficulties but on a list of world problems it wouldn't even make the top ten. I mean its not as if this sort of thing was unprecedented, the sea has risen 400 FEET since the peak of the last ice age 20,000 years ago and during that time the human race not only survived it thrived. Ever wonder what a two foot rise in sea level would do to south Florida real estate values? Would they go up... or go down. My guess is down, catastrophic flood damage tends to have that effect. What kind of dollar figure are we talking about. That would be astronomical! The value of just the Florida coastal real estate that would be impacted is off the charts.
