Global warming will make the oceans rise 39" and the rise cannot be stopped. Where will we go?

Question

This rise in sea level will effect San Francisco, New York, Silicon Valley, Kennebunkport, Florida, Texas and that is only in the USA. All this per the Intergovernmental Panel on climate change in Paris, Seth Borenstein of Associated Press, University of Arizona in conjunction with the US Geological Survey, Lawrence Livermore National Lab in California. Is it time to buy beachfront property in Arizona?

Maybe the Brits are already realizing the water danger from warmer oceans?

Answer 1

The seas have raised and lowered many times. The ice caps have come and gone many times. The globe has warmed and cooled many times.

The gulf of Mexico coast was about 100 miles south of Dallas. Half of Florida was under water thousands of years ago. We just came along at the wrong time and may be accelerating the change.

The earth is constantly changing very slowly. We may be able to slow it down, but nature has no conscience, and will kill what ever gets in it's way.

Answer 2

A 39 inch higher sea level will not make Arizona beachfront property. New York and San Francisco are not in danger, but parts of Florida and silicon valley are. So I guess that means the people from silicon valley have to move to San Francisco and the people from Florida have to move to New York. Me, I am safe in Austin, Texas, which is 6,000 inches above sea level. But since it will take 100 years for the assumed 39 inch rise to happen, I won't live to see it anyway.

Answer 3

Like diversifications in the wild it takes extra beneficial than a pair months. You look to have faith that the exchange will come at as quickly as. Like maximum significant changes it may or won't ensue over the years. The comparsion of adapting to international warming and gasoline fees is in basic terms a splash a stretch.

Answer 4

First, climate change is ALREADY forcing people from their homes in India, Bangladesh, and parts of Oceana.

Second, check the wording on that statement: it doesn't say it can't be stopped, it says it will happen "regardless of any future actions to curb greenhouse gases." That's because at the moment we're still increasing our greenhouse gas emissions. It's not just the CO2 concentration that's increasing, but the rate at which it's increasing is also increasing.

Our politicans are talking in terms of slowing the rate of increase. That's not enough to stop climate change. What we need is not to slow the rate of increase, but to begin to decrease the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere-- and the quicker the better.

That's not to say that if we immediately halted all possible CO2 emissions and allowed trees to absorb what's there that we'd avoid all climate consequences-- they are already upon us. But we'd probably avoid the 39" rise in sea levels that scientists are talking about.

Of course, politicans are too concerned about getting elected and most people are to concerned with comfort to make any real reductions in CO2 emissions. So, in the absence of real change, the scientists are probably right.

Answer 5

First of all, I'm not sure if your question is true or not. Sure, the oceans might rise a foot or two while our grand kids or our great grand kids are living, but probably not as much as 39". To answer your question, I would move to ground that's about four or five feet above sea level.

Answer 6

sea levels aren't going anywhere. arctic ice is floating, and if it all melts, nothing happens. antarctic ice is on land, and it would take an 80 degree temp increase to melt it. in reality, global warming will cause more ocean evaporation, causing more rain fall. this will make the ice pack in the antarctic thicker, LOWERING sea levels. any of you morons who think the coasts are going to flood, sell me your beach front property for a dollar since it is going to be under water and worthless.......whats that? no sellers???? thats what i thought

Answer 7

global warming won't change where you need to live. That's just an urban legend. It will take 100s of years of constant sealevl rising to do that and because global warming isn't human caused, the rise should end well before that

Answer 8

Just go with the flow. It takes a long time to be really concerned about this issue. So just relax and take your time to do the research for the better and more suitable place for you to move when the time is coming. How about that?

Answer 9

Relax. Sea level today is 30cm below levels they were in the 1840's.

The level of the oceans isn't going to change.
