Have fun with doom & gloom
 
When Global Warming melts the polar ice caps, all that water has to go some where. Having fish for supper? Cook it or set a place for it?

At this website, http://flood.firetree.net/ , it's very similar to Google earth but you don't have to download or install anything. It's a map rather than photos, but you can go where you wish, then there is a feature where you can set the sea level rise in meters and see what gets inundated. It only goes to 14 meters though.

Check it out now, then take advantage of the depressed Real Estate market to buy some high ground. You will be King, or Queen, and become rich and powerful when the waterlogged lowlanders swim ashore. :yelgreedy

I mean refuge shelters.. yeah... shelters...

Everyone can come & stay at mine or my parents'. It seems the sole blessing of being at the furtherest point away from the sea in the country is not having to worry overmuch about rising sea levels....

I'm OK, but it'll only take a 2 M rise to submerge my mother-in-law's house at the beach.

Undertoad 01-29-2007 09:02 AM

What did people do about the 8" (20cm) rise last century?

Happy Monkey 01-29-2007 09:48 AM

Haul in truckloads of sand.

Undertoad 01-29-2007 09:56 AM

Thank goodness it turns out the problem can be addressed cheaply, over decades of time, using the most available commodity on the planet.

Happy Monkey 01-29-2007 11:09 AM

Mmm hmmm. And where are we going to be getting all this sand? The Middle East is where!

Deuce 01-29-2007 11:11 AM

Not to mention the oil to fuel the trucks to haul it.

Reminds me of the Futurama clip in "An Inconvenient Truth".

Quote:

Narrator: Fortunately, our handsomest politicians came up with a cheap, last-minute way to combat global warming. Ever since 2063, we simply drop a giant ice cube into the ocean every now and then.

Susie: Just like daddy puts in his drink every morning! And then he gets mad.

Narrator: Of course, since the greenhouse gases are still building up, it takes more and more ice each time. Thus, solving the problem once and for all.

Susie: But...

Narrator: Once and for ALL!
