re: #291 Charles

There’s a significant number of people who won’t be convinced by ANY evidence. They’ll continue denying the reality of global warming even as the water rises around their feet and the port of Los Angeles is shut down.

I’m not posting these articles and videos for them. They’re beyond reason. I’m posting them for the people who are honestly confused about the issue, because of the enormous amount of bullshit that’s being spread by the Republican Party and their well paid climate denial industry shills. These are the people who aren’t lost yet, and haven’t closed their minds and retreated into impenetrable, comfortable ignorance.

Watch the video I posted above, especially the ending. That’s why I’m posting on the subject.

Charles the ocean is rising at 3mm per annum, sans acceleration. Sea level rise in and of itself isn’t particularly noteworthy since we are in an interglacial period. I realize you’re just trying to make a point, but it’s just a tiny bit silly.
