Yup - I am ignoring it to the extent that I am NOT afraid of any future global climate change . . .
Ok - now that you have taken potshots and vilified me - let me explain - if you are still able to hear me out!
---------> https://www.stuff.co.nz/environment/climate-news/300636133/new-research-shows-how-the-antarctic-ice-sheet-retreated-over-10000-years
Notwithstanding the Norwegian scientist who calculated that net inflow verses net outflow of Ice would amount to 0.01mm per year of Ice loss . . think about this for a minute - get your calculator out - - - - to get to ONE millimeter of sea level rise it would take urm - yeah about around a cool 100 years and for a full centimeter another - cough 1000 years. Do you know where you will be in 1000 years from now???
Anyhow - this article talks about RAPID changes. Well - ok in Terms of Earth time - it does seem rather fast!! In HUMAN terms -
snip -- The first lesson is more of a warning. The period of ice loss from 10,000 to 5000 years ago was rapid, occurring at a similar rate to the most dramatically changing parts of the Antarctic ice sheet today.
So that is from 10 000 to 5 000 years eg, from 8000 BC TO 3000 BC- O K A Y
Where was our glorious humanity some 5000 years back -
hmmmmmm let me see - (consults google/wikipedia - need to get this RIGHT!!)
oh yeah - we were still in our S T O N E A G E ! ! ! ! !
Humanity was still being mostly hunter/gatherers!!!!!
No Greeks / Egyptian / Chinese / Mayan societies. No Temples / No waterworks / No farming / NO RELIGION per say / no o o o o o o etc etc
So why should I be worried that it might take 5000 years to flood me out!?!?!?!?!
All this even though they do not know why Antarctica is consistently getting COLDER and freezing more ice - these last 30 years . . .
So - do you KNOW where you are going to be tomorrow / next month / next year???? Will you still be alive in 5000 years time??? yeah yeah - your great great great great great great great great - so forth grandchildren will thank you for it!! Do you know who that might be???
Do you think that that neanderthal (yeah that one - 50th to the left of that beautiful mountain) thought of YOU when he decided to eat cold meat because lighting a fire would "destroy" your future environment????
I get the impression that this is just a "future funding keep my job secure" news article!!!
F I V E T H O U S A N D Y E A R S - - - - - Dude - like really . . . .
think about that number - 5000 years - what have we seen since 3000 BC?????
Get real!!!!
