Researchers say this kind of rise in sea levels would put coastal communities and low-lying island nations at risk

The biggest concern with the glacier falling into the ocean is the water level will rise flooding a lot of Southern Louisiana.
My biggest concern is when the true Cajuns that live on stilts are forced to move north the Cajun gene will be more prevalent in the population. There will be a lot more Orgerons running around. Louisiana is dead last in literacy now. It will get worse.

Let the damn glacier collapse...quickly.



Serious question? Why do people hate Obama so much? I'd like to get a legit answer one time.

Not much happens at 2 feet - the marshy places and beaches go. You have to get to 4-5 feet to see any real change even here. And by real change I mean getting rid of Houma. Not that any of this is likely to happen before 2100 minimum, if it happens at all.


I’m not saying any of this is going to happen but from using your link it looks like New Orleans turns into an island at 1 foot of sea level rise. Not sure what you are talking about.

How much time do you have?

The most egregious is inflaming race relations in this country instead of trying to unite everyone as the first black president. He agreed with the narrative that police are disproportionately killing black males.

I think the problem is if it's ice that is currently sitting on landmass.


When was the last time a glacier fell off into the water the size of Florida from land? Massive glaciers that break away are usually already in the water. Usually if glaciers are falling into the water from land it's a very slow process. Slow enough for the ice that falls from the land is replaced by ice/snow that falls and accumulates on the land. In fact it's the weight of the accumulation over time with gravity that causes the glacial flow rate.

The price of glacier water will drastically come down. Can't wait.

Why would Pelosi buy a house on the beach in Florida if this were true?

She knows the timeline... She won't make it long enough to worry about the issue and wants to enjoy her last few days.

I’m betting it disproportionately threatens POC communities.
