Typical "liberal" posting style.

Q: How do you make a "liberal" mad?

A: You don't need to do anything, they're completely mad already

Water levels have been rising ever since we've began observing them, it has been projected that ocean levels have risen ~400 feet in the past 21,000 years, but since the 1900's ocean levels have only risen something like 6-8 inches...

I did exclude things like:

Thermal expansion

from my earlier waffle because there are many dumbfuks on here, by no means all ;) Shit link by the way thompsonx

What the hell? You haven't proven anything, stupid moron. Just posted a bunch of pretend science news. You don't suppose, that perhaps, banning polar bear hunting after the 70s had anything to do with an increase of their numbers since then?

Has it occurred to you, oh Almighty thinking one, that factors other than that might impact polar Bear population's? That melting sea ice will have an impact?

Or are you one of these priceless princesses who says oh no the sea ice isn't really melting!

WTF you're comparing ocean level rise over 21,000 years to ocean level rise over less than 150?? How does that make sense?

Even if you're actually talking about an average (I'm not in the mood to look up the figures), the past 21,000 years included the transition from a glacial to interglacial period... so of course you're going to have dramatic ocean rise... because there is more ice to melt. The shift from glacial to interglacial is part of a natural cycle that in this case has produced a remarkably stable climate that has allowed humanity to flourish over the past 10,000 years.

Including the transition period is NOT helpful in understanding our current climate. The last glacial period is over. The transition is over. We have already arrived at the new climatic norm... and now it's just a matter of whether or not we're going to totally fuck it up.

The question isn't whether recent levels of ocean rise are normal for a glacial or transition period, it's whether or not they're normal or can be explained by natural forces within THIS type of climate.

So the U.S. Geological Survey - the leading scientific body on natural and earth sciences - is 'pretend science'...
Good to know you feel that way.

And i do love that - 'Polar Bears are going extinct because melting Sea Ice!' - which was the argument held by an Inconvinent Truth, and that you tried to peddle to me - Very quickly was rolled off into 'Well, we haven't been hunting them since the 70s! so obviously they would be increasing!' As if you were not just an instant ago making the argument that Global Ice Melting was causing Polar Bears to die in droves because of the destruction of it's natural ecosystem.

So despite being presented 2 Very clear and direct counter points...
you take it upon yourself to call me a 'stupid moron', decry what i present as 'pretend science news', state that i am in Denial of facts while not presenting any evidence to the contrary, and only provide conjecture as a counter to everything I've said...

I'm the one that is insulting and constructing straw men here...
Again, further insight into how you think.

ORIGINAL: InfoMan

The point i was making was that ocean levels have been rising near constantly since the last glacial period... several ancient harbors and coastal cities from ancient Greece and Egypt are now under water because of the steady increasing sea level. Making it a some what natural event... The idea that global warming is the sole cause of rising sea levels and pointing out the fact that the ocean gets closer and closer to coastal buildings each year is not a valid argument.

When may we expect a sequel to your irish slave story?
