Seas Rising Faster Than Projected

Posted by Soulskill on from the invest-in-canoes dept.

New submitter zenyu writes "IPCC's 2mm per year estimate for sea level rise at current CO2 levels has proven too optimistic. Sea levels have been rising 3.2mm per year in the last two decades. The IPCC's 50 cm — 100 cm projection for the next century may prove equally optimistic."

    Well, I do. People like you sit there on your asses and say how the average american is brainwashed by foxnews, yet you believe and trust that all the anti-US sentiment spewed by your (relatively speaking) state controlled media is justified? If the average european was truly intellectually superior, he'd know that most if not all western media is full of self-serving, preachy bullshit. Why do your countries keep doing the US' bidding anyway? Grow a pair already and stand up for yourselves, or is the collective western european culture even more panty waisted than the most stridently politically correct US citizen?
