Burn all the coal, oil – No danger of sea level rise this century from Antarctic ice melt

Malcolm Kantzler

Ludicrous subterfuge.

It is ludicrous to claim that increased burning of fossil fuels, let alone maintaining the current rate, will pose “no troublesome sea-level rise,” when the results of sea-level rise have already been disastrous and will only get worse, no matter if the qualification of “Antarctic ice” or anything else is attached to it.

Try telling that to the natives of the numerous Pacific islands which are being inundated or have already been abandoned, or to Miami Beach officials who are hilariously and wastefully spending to put pumps in place to drain overflow Atlantic waters into the connected Biscayne Bay, or the residents of New Jersey who still have not recovered from the record surge of Hurricane Sandy, or any of the other residents struck by hurricanes and typhoons, not to mention lost tourist revenues to glacial-park regions that no longer have or will soon no longer have glaciers, and the wildlife so affected, again, not to mention the going-extinct polar bear which is being lost to the other barrel of the global-warming shotgun.

The premise of this article may only prove that science deniers are very well entrenched and ever-more sly in their subterfuge and misrepresentation of data.
