re: #250 HebrewToYou

Sharmuta, stay classy.

Nobody knows what this planet is going to look like 100-150 years from now. Anyone claiming otherwise is relying solely on conjecture. And to use that conjecture to invoke fear is not a good way to make a point.

It gives the impression that the messenger is an apocryphal preacher.

It is not solely conjecture. It is not all hyperbole.

So I have claimed repeatedly that we are heading in a certain direction.

The IPCC claim is that it is likely that sea levels will rise by about 1 meter in 100-150 years.

Many, including me think this is a very lowball estimate.

I think that in 100-150 years it could get as high as 3 meters - and I think it is certain to hit at least 3 meters by 200 years.

Now these are claims with some substance.

What would that do?

Further, what do you have to discount the claim? What science do you bring?
