El Cid   220 #1 Posted January 7, 2018 The sea level is rising, should we all be worried?  The level has been rising for over 100 years.  https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/sea-level/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Harrystottle   10 #2 Posted January 7, 2018 Worry away but it's not like we can do much about it. There was an ice age about 10,000 years ago and there weren't any 4x4's around then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

zach   234 #4 Posted January 7, 2018 No problem at all El Cid.  The government are working on a new "Sea Level Tax" Apparently if you add a tax to things, it sorts it out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

So no worries then.  Not sure where you are from, davyboy does sound a little Welsh - which I understand will be one of the first places affected by rising sea levels  Maybe areas on high ground will have higher house prices?  Residents of Fairbourne, in Gwynedd, say predictions of that the sea level will rise by a metre a year have hit house prices and investment  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/earth/environment/climatechange/12152240/Welsh-village-to-sue-government-over-alarmist-rising-sea-level-claim.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

El Cid   220 #7 Posted January 7, 2018 Perhaps it's due to a falling sky.  The scientific term might be more 'precipitation'; I believe our sunniest days were in the 1970s. Everyone keep commenting about the lack of sun, but not today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Guest   #12 Posted January 7, 2018 Should we at least try? The science says mankind is causing it.  So you've made your mind up that climate change is a thing and that man kind is definitely at fault, and that what we need to do is actively stop it, which invariably means restraining peoples behaviour..in other words one set of people telling another set of people that their way of life should make them feel ashamed, which all handily fits into an authoritarian, anti-capitalist agenda?
