is any one else afraid of drowning by global warming?

Answer 1

Assuming global warming was a real concern: If your dumb enough to stand there for the 100 plus years it would take for the water to rise high enough, you should be afraid.

The ignorance of "environmentalist" makes me laugh!

Answer 2

If you are less than say about age 60 you will probably live long enough to see substantial sea level rise, enough to cause humans problems, we are very nearly there today. While climate change is natural, it also can be unnatural. Humans contribute 40X more CO2 than volcanoes every year. We have been pumping CO2 into the atmosphere faster than all natural sources combined for over 100 years now and it is beginning to have an impact.

Should you be afraid of drowning? Do you live in Bangladesh, the Gulf Coast, Shanghai, etc.? Drownings in those areas will increase during storms both because of sea level rise and because of increased storm intensity both driven by global warming.

Here is an important fact. Sea level rise will continue for about 1000 years even if we completely eliminate our CO2 emissions tomorrow. Now that should give you reason to pause and think.

Answer 3

What we should be afraid of is the generations after ourselves, meaning your loved ones (kids, grandkids) suffering the fate of global warming that was inflicted upon the planet by their ancestors (us). It's not really fair to them, especially if they haven't come into existence yet, and it would be terrible for the future generations to be born into a world where life is so much harder because almost the entire planet is covered with water, especially when the present generation did practically nothing to stop it.

Answer 4

Global climate change is a natural reoccurring process the planet goes though and it takes millions of years. You aren't going to live long enough to worry about it. But, if you do just think you might have waterfront property that should be a plus right?

Answer 5

Not really. There's always higher ground. If there were enough ice in antartica to cause driwning it'd have to be hundreads of miles high. Besides, the earth probably went through a "hot age" (cycles) and terrestrial life still survived. So... I'm not too worried

Answer 6

the only thing that should scare you is the fact that they spend all this money on research when they have not kept records long enough to actually prove what they keep saying.as a matter of fact they have more info proving they DON'T know as much as they say they do.
Believe what you want but,until you find a scientist from 2000 years ago that is still living today as a witness then,you'll never get me to buy into their crap.

Answer 7

That takes the chill out of my spine. Last year TV News coverage of Tsunami shook me, if the waves can go to such height then the ice melting from mountains is much devastative.

Answer 8

You would be wiser to worry about overcrowding and inability to produce enough food on the remaining arriable land. Water levels are not going to rise overnight, but I would go ahead and consider relocating, to beat the rush and exploding prices.

Answer 9

Lol zomg, so many questions about global warming.. maybe everyone is waking up.

And yes, i am.. EARTH COULD BE GONE BECAUSE OF FRIGGIN RED NECKS WHO DRIVE GAS GUZZLERS. And pollute.... everyone just has to drive friggin hybrids, but no, they want more torque damn it!

Answer 10

What, you mean in my own perspiration?

I live miles from the sea - if all the ice caps melted it wouldn't reach here.
