Seas Rising Faster Than Projected
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?
Well, extraditing EU citizens to US courts over 'piracy', and engaging in cooperative KGB style monitoring programs come to mind...and actually iirc several european countries initially backed us during the iraq idiocy.
The only thing universal healthcare brought you was waiting lines and mediocre care if you're in any country but norway/sweden/denmark and maybe the UK. You give up so much control over your existences for this and other handouts and I do not understand why. Do you really want to end up like greece? ..or hell, the USA 20-40 years from now, as it slides into its new status as a chinese satellite?
