Miami, New Orleans and New York City completely under water it’s a very real possibility if sea levels continue to rise. In Earth Under Water we’ll see these events unfold as leading experts forecast how mankind will be impacted if global warming continues. They’ll break down the science behind these predictions and explore ways humanity could adapt, including engineering vast dams near San Francisco, or building floating cities outside of New York.
Earth Under Water – Worldwide Flooding | National Geographic (2010)
Many deadly problems associated with global warming are not even being
considered here. Major crop failure all around the world, toxic polluted
water from flooded sewage systems and rotting dead animals, many extremely
powerful tornados and hurricanes that come much farther inland, People
dying of heat stroke and people killing over drinking (clean) water
supplies. Global human population may never go over 9 billion and may drop
to less than 4 billion within 80 years. I won’t be around to be 130 years
old and it’s very sad to see what’s already happened to the rain forests.
Sea levels have risen and fallen countless times before, but, THIS TIME
IT”S BECAUSE OF HUMANS! Give me a fucking break! You chicken little types
are so gullible. Get off al gore’s tit and try a little deductive
reasoning with a sprinkle of common sense.
“The silver lining is Jobs jobs jobs.” Where does that money come from.
So, in 2004 I checked the rate of sea level rise on the way back machine. It shows 2.8mm/yr. plus/minus 0.4mm. 2014 I checked the modern data. It’s still rising in a linear fashion but it says 3.2mm/yr. plus/minus 0.4mm. They have altered the past data to show a steeper gain. FRAUD!!!! Al Gore made his millions on this lie then bought his beach front property exactly where he says will go under water in SF bay. Back in the 80’s James Hansen said parts of NY will be under water in 20 years. The extra summer heat will create… Read more »
Why don’t they spend the money for go green action and make the earth
colder? If the earth colder, it means sea level won’t rise..
WHAT SEA LEVEL RISE! I just come back from Nova Scotia, the sea was right
were it was the last time I went…The sea ain’t rising its the sky is
falling…Dumb ass’s
To be honest, a rising sea level is the least of our problems if all the ice in the Arctic melts–even more deadly will be the thawing of all the methane (thousands of gigatons) under that ice–that will trigger a positive feed back loop that when last such a thing occurred, over 95 % of species on earth were destroyed. Methane is deadly when released, acting like cyanide gas, but also that which escapes also capable of massive explosions and that which reaches the atmosphere able to acceletate global warming exponentially. Once triggered, the best scientists estimate the world extinction… Read more »
According to Wikipedia, sea level is rising at a rate of 3 mm per year. If
this continued, the sea would rise 300 mm in the next 100 years. That’s
about one foot.
According to National Geographic, sea level has risen 4 to 8 inches over
the last hundred years. But in the past twenty years sea level has risen
0.13 in. per year. That would be 13 inches in 100 years…about one foot.
ONE FOOT in the next 100 YEARS.
Much coastal wetland has been lost due to development. The land is filled
in and then an airport is built or a line of tourist hotels. Sea level rise
will create a lot of wetland…a natural reclamation project. Animals such
as birds and fish will again have breeding grounds. This is a good thing.
They’re trying to scare us again. Green is a straight line to red.
Earth Under Water – Worldwide Flooding | Sea Level Rise
well… at least i know how to swim.
All i can say is that Earth has a way of balancing it self out so no matter
what we do the Earth shall find a way to fix it, either it be an ice age or
any other weather phenomena. Our species might not survive, but the Earth
will. i believe that the only thing strong enough to kill our Earth its
for it to be eaten by the sun.
I just sold my house, now I’m going to go buy a nice, modest size sail boat.
There are plenty of fish in the sea so I’m not going to starve. I built a
solar oven too so I don’t have to eat sushi… can’t stand that discusting
stuff… but watch out Moby Dick, I’m comming for you…

Gore is a liar. Yes CO2 and temp are related. BUT is is increasing temps that CAUSE more CO2 to be released in to the atmosphere not the other way around. Solar activity increases then the earth warms then the oceans produce more CO2 AND more plants grow and die and create more CO2 and more animals thrive and produce more CO2. Humans are responsible for less than 3% of atmospheric CO2 , Volcanos, animals dying, plants decaying, living animals and plants together don’t come close to the amount of CO2 produced by the oceans. The Sun causes global warming… Read more »
Holy Christ! Something has to be done to help prevent Sea level rise around
the world. This could have devastating effects for everyone.
We need to work together & join forces, before it’s too late.
May God help us all!!!
should build a giant blanket and machines to make it hover over the arctic.
blocking the sunlight. we got a hot air balloon going high up there, to the
stratosphere i think. so its possible. sounds insanely stupid though. but
its time we go futuristic.
Apparently many planets in the Universe have gone through this. I warned
them about this when I used to live on Draxos 9, the only planet to have
invented underarm deodorants before the wheel.

Some “John Luke Horan” here claims that “An icecube in a glass of water
does not make the water go up” so I confidently filled my glass to the brim
and dropped a slab of ice the snowplough made yesterday into it. The glass
smashed and the water ruined my only copy of Justin Bieber’s latest hit. I
want compensation and a new glass because I’ve nothing now to put my “fruit
juice” with celery stalk in which I drink in huge quantities before
responding to the absolutely exquisite pearls of wisdom that fairly drip
from the rest of you.
Well, cold water, cold lands, nuclear war, chemical diseases, and the
worst… the wickedness of the humans… Well… Hell on earth…
It would be like the “Water World”.
We have to start making some major decisions….its pay back to what we did
to the earth. But , instead of building walls , we need to get rid of gas
cars and do something about the smoke into the air. We need to use earths
natural resources instead of us building stuff, we need to chill from the
building and other stuff. NATURAL FOR A WHILE
The way things are going global warming is going to be the least of our
worries or should I say the worry for but a few if governments don’t get
off their war mongering nature.
Interesting… a complete crock of shit… but interesting just the same.
Total Bull-Shit……………..
Assuming future ocean Ph isn’t too acidic for coral reef formation, Florida
will make wonderful reefs for diving…
Shocking, Luckily live smack bang middle of the country.
Let’s all evolve into mermaids, and mermans
Moronic eco-socialist agitprop!
Only time
How do you convince someone that they are “doing something wrong” and get them… to change? to take notice? to consider? to look at the data? To Acknowledge that… a problem exists, the data or information surrounding the concept is legitimate & or truthful, and decide to take action for a healthy outcome. ? The majority of us cannot create a Documentary style argument for every problem that comes along, discuss at the kitchen table(so to speak), and come to an agreement to affect a change because… The majority of us don’t have the time needed to affectively judge incoming… Read more »
This is fake dont listen to them!
Why is it that my beach front property has the same water line as it did 20+ years ago? We have not had to add or delete any of our pier. The water marks are still the same. If this is so, then why can’t I see the difference? Very simple, IT IS NOT CHANGING!!!!! I allow mother nature to take care of my sandy beach. She takes sand away, she brings sand back. A storm takes it out and the tides bring it back. Global warming is a hoax in all was. We humans can NEVER produce as much… Read more »
Floating houses. We’ve been doing that for almost 200 years in Louisiana
Let’s see, Miami, New Orleans and New York disappearing, not such a bad
thing. LOL
LOL the guy just let the cat out of the bag when talking about San Fran.
Bay.
JOB CREATION!
The whole GW thing is about that. Scare the masses into thinking they will
drown if they don’t spend billions on walls to stop the water so they don’t
die.
Scare tactics at best.
I hate these stupid programs. The elephant is in the living room and they
pretend “what elephant?” Gee, do you think the fact that there are 7.2 out
of control human beings on this planet might have something to do with it?
Huh, do ya?
