You made my point for me. Sorry, that's just NOT going to happen. The extreme hyperbole of the climate change side is not helping matters.
- agentultra 7y agoThis is worst-case scenario, 2100, 4C based off of IPCC data which is conservative. It's possible it won't happen but it's not going to be because we do nothing today and continue with current emissions trends. https://choices.climatecentral.org/#6/25.760/-80.206?compare=temperatures&carbon-end-yr=2100&scenario-a=warming-4&scenario-b=warming-2 https://choices.climatecentral.org/#6/25.760/-80.206?compare...
- meddlepal 7y agoOnce again I refer to this: > You're going to be able to sail over the Guggenheim The Guggenheim is 77 feet tall. We're not going to be sailing over it. That's my point about hyperbole. All coastal cities will experience some flooding. I've seen projections of 4-6 feet sea rise. That's not insurmountable by sea walls. That map is useless because it doesn't show projected depths. It gets people all riled up without also explaining, yea in mid-town Manhattan if we do absolutely nothing between now and then we'll be under a foot or two of water.
