Two new studies show that Antarctica's ice is melting quicker than previously calculated
and Eric Rignot (one of the studies lead authors) says we have "passed the point of no return."

Looks like the melting of the Greenland icecap may proceed faster than previously thought.  New information about Greenland's under-ice topography suggests so anyway.  See http://www.eurekaler...--gwb051414.php

Evidently the banned spammer ewfczlb07 doesn't agree and voted this post down. But you're still banned. :laugh:

What do you get with rising warmer polluted seas and hundreds of overpopulated coastal places?
Climate change could flood your streets with doo-doo and toxic waste

By John Upton Posted ImageStefan KlocekOakland and surrounds.
"Rising seas and ferocious storms linked to global warming won’t just bring water to our doorsteps. In some cities, it will deliver a witches’ brew of sewage from low-lying drains and toxic waste from Superfund sites and industrial areas.
That’s because when seas rise, they don’t just top over shorelines. They can burble up through waterfront infrastructure like sewage systems."

The obvious solution is to safely recycle 100% of all human-generated waste materials, all the trash, garbage, junk, smoke, fumes and chemical waste. But the corporations that could make that happen are in the business of making money, so they want to invest in areas of higher return than recycling, although Waste Management appears to be doing great..

Not to worry. The elites have yacht's they can navigate to their under water banks on Wall Street. <_<

Hello my poet friend.  I met Mike Reynolds at an Earthship lecture, and he likes garbage and re-using it as a cheap resource to use to fill our needs and not pollute.  Great model that has absolutely no grid of any kind hookups, and nothing  goes out of the property.  He, like us, is driven by a higher calling, even though he says that only 20% of us could do it and the other 80% will still probably drag us to the fires of hell on Earth.
However, drowning in sewage and toxic waste is not fire, but horrible, nevertheless.
