Somebody, somewhere, mentioned that because cities are constantly being re-worked, ocean levels will, if they rise, simply cause the re-working to shift away from the sea side. There won't be any disaster or even noticeable inconvenience. No, I don't care if Bangladesh sinks beneath the Global-Warmed ocean. And Anthony Watts et al (at Wattsupwiththat.com) have pre-published a study showing that if you use sites to measure temperature that conform to the ISO standard, the increase since the 70s works out to about .135 degrees C, not the .350 C that NOAA claims. And things like 'Climategate' make me think that a lot of the so-called 'Climate Scientists' are more interested in getting grants and ego boosts than they are in real science. And don't forget the mass media which likes to trumpet anything they think will draw readers, which equals higher rates for ads. As WUWT points out constantly and humorously, the idiotic stories about polar bears stuck on melting ice floes, and tornadoes increasing (they have actually decreased in recent years), are apparently irrestistible to the ad-revenue-lusting mass media. Not to mention the poor boobs who have turned 'Global Warming' (or is it Climate Change, or is it Climate Disruption) into a pathetic religion. What a circus.
