Climate Change / The Wisconsin Glacier

I live where the temperature ranges from -25 to 110 degrees. A 1 degree temperature rise and a little more CO2 in 50 years is not a concern, it will aid in food production. History proves we should be preparing for an asteroid or massive volcanic eruption that will return us to the dark ages.

NASA just announced discovery of an asteroid with a 1 in 520 chance of hitting Earth in 2046. Could be the the equivalent of the 1908 Tunguska event.

20,000 years ago 15,000 feet of ice sat atop NYC. That is settled science. Glacial striations on granite boulders in Central Park are proof. Now ask any CO2 activist this “Are you saying all that ice melted because cave men were driving Hummers?”

6,000 years ago North Africa was a wet, lush landscape and the Sahara Desert did not exist.
Did it turn into a sandy desert because the Egyptians built the pyramids using heavy diesel equipment?

I really don't think they teach physical science or history anymore. It's a about gender studies and diversity.

Actually it isn’t, which is sad. People need to be taught everything.

Then we are not getting our money’s worth!

Because continents move.

That is why the east coast of North America is sinking into the ocean.

No that’s because the ocean is rising.

Wrong!

The North American Plate is being subducted by the Caribbean Plate obliquely at the Puerto Rico Trench. Better brush up on plate tectonics.

When did you last study it?

Apparently you have no disagreement with the subduction at the Puerto Rico Trench.

At what rate do you think the ocean is rising?

The ocean is rising about 1/8 of an inch per year. Primarily from trillions of tons of sediment eroding from land masses. A little from marine growth like coral. Reefs die when they reach the water surface so a little rise is a good thing.

Bingo! About 1mm per year.

Factor in all the boats and ships also.

Slowly now, but it will be a higher rate soon

Quantify that. Or just making stuff up?
