Well considering how much land is up North in Canada and Russia I think we should do all we can to push for climate change. It happens all the time geologically. We talk of terraforming other planets but somehow ours is sacred FROM humanity? We speak of a broad Goldilocks zone but changes in the Earths orbit have created ice ages in the past along a much much more narrow "zone."

well, planting trees is definitely helpful and an amazing solution but not because they hold water. Planting trees is helpful because they turn the carbon dioxide into oxygen. That helps because it is the only thing in the carbon cycle that can actually absorb the CO2 and help lower the greenhouse effect that is caused by that GHG that warms the atmosphere causing the sea levels to rise. By planting trees you are lowering the greenhouse effect that would prevent the sea levels to rise.

Kowalski Analysis..=-O

It’s happening in some places like Venice Besides the rising water levels, the tectonic plate in which Venice sits in is sinking underneath another plate

Good point!

Climate change is causing the sea levels, so the Artic ice melts each year and the oceans will eventually become overflowed. As the Earth heats more, the ice will continue to melt.

Keisha Sims So in theory the inside of the earth could heat up a lot more as well and eventually melt rock higher up near the earth’s crust. this could eventually lead to more fragile tectonic plates and the sinking of heavy masses of land.

Wrong

Matt S. but that rate is going faster it isn’t going to rise with the same amount every year. every year it’s increasing the rate. and heavy rainfalls and droughts are going to be more common same with floods and hurricanes

Matt S. maybe that’s true that there doing it for money, but in my country the summers are getting hotter every year. and i am sure the usa manufacturing is more cleaner. but not in big country’s like china india or indonesia. and that the ice is melting and then regrowing, i cannot be sure or disagree with because i don’t know or live somewhere near places that have a lot of ice, in this world i can never be sure what’s fake or real , only if i see it in real life i can be sure so for now i’m more on that it’s real considering the agriculture last year had some problems with a long period of drought .

Yes, let's just abandon trillions of $ in infrastructure instead of trying to do something.

What ancestors? Sea level has been consistent thoughout all of human history. This problem is completely new and completely unchartered territory.

@@johnperic6860 You're too stupid to even remain consistent and coherent within your own comment. Are you suggesting that sea level doesn't rise, or that humans have no control over whether it does rise? What do you mean by investing trillions into something you have little control over? We're talking about investing in sea walls to keep the rising sea out - that would be completely independent of whether or not we have any control over the sea-level rise. You can't even stick to one moronic misconception at a time. We have fairly good estimates at *minimum* sea-level rise, and so far scientific estimates on sea-level rise and ice melt has been too conservative. There are much more likely to be unpredictable tipping points escalating the melting, than the other way around, at least that's what has been consistently happening so far. For one there is no greenhouse mitigating gas occuring in nature, while there are many greenhouse gases, such a methane, which we don't know exactly where is located, and therefore cannot account for in many cases. This can potentially accelerate melting beyond our current estimates, while the likelihood of an opposite event is zero, for reasons just stated.

@Thomas Headley Except for that sea levels have been pretty much contant for the past 2500 years, which encompasses all of modern human civilisation in which humans have built "cities" - and by a fairly good margin, so the idea that our ancestors saw actual cities flood from sea level rise and consequentially moved their cities is preposterous. You seem rather ignorant of history.

Stop with the common sense, educated people are among us. It confuses most of them.

The rate wouldn't be expedited and people would have a chance to react.

Have the Eu fine the verge for using imperial-ist measurements.

@@russcrawford3310 Or hopefully it'll even out, like some predictions

Should we explain the difference between climate and weather to you, *again?* Weather is essentially variable, hour after hour of every day; still, weather forecasts have become more and more accurate as meteorology progresses. If you don't believe it, stay at home with your windows wide open when a hurricane or snowfall is announced. Climate means the permanent features you expect to find in a place, as observed, recorded, lived through centuries and millennia. You don't pack your snow attire for summer vacations in Hawaii, right? When the statistics resulting from observations show that, in the course of the last decades, the general features, the climate is changing and continues to change faster and faster, when ancient glaciers are melting acceleratedly, when old houses and highways constructed on permafrost sink in the melting land, when forests die from dryness and are set alight in each year wider wildfires, the coral bleaches again and again, algae bloom where they didn't before, and, cities like Miami get flooded when there isn't any storm around, tell us, isn't anything changing?
