Being a nerd, I found this video fascinating.
I won’t be around to see if the fellow is right, but at least he did a great job explaining what he believes. I enjoyed it because of the geography.

Interesting But Depressing?

In all of this, where did he explain his calculations?????????
Nowhere!
Thus, I do not think he did a good job, of explaining, what he believes.
I am aware of global warming.
I just do not like unexplained scare tactics.
I hope this comment is all right. I am not being nasty!!! Please! I am not!
No, I don’t think you are being nasty. I figured it was just one scenario and I liked his cheerful tone and the discussion of geography and what might happen if the sea level keeps rising. He did a good job on the graphics even if we don’t believe his prediction.
PS It’s also good food for thought. Here’s a Nov 18 Science Magazine article, Seas are rising faster than ever.
Using the past to project the future is a perfectly gook method of calculating changes like in the video. Some changes happen so slowly when it comes to geography that one life time isn’t enough to see them.
He packed a lot of information into that quick-moving video.
I found his video fascinating. I wondered though, with the strange inflection, if “he” might be a robotic voice. Nevertheless it is valuable information and, as I told SWMBO, I’m just glad we’re going to leave when we are. And let’s hope our grandchildren are wiser than we were.
Yes, I’ve been telling Andy for years now that we were lucky to have been born when we were. We don’t have grandchildren, but I don’t think individuals have much say in what happens. Let’s face it, all our ever-increasing billions of people are bound to change the planet.
This is so interesting! i know with global warming, the water levels are really rising. Yet God promised never to destroy the earth with flooding again. Of course, they they could still cause a whole lot of damage!
Things will be a lot different, but I’m guessing we won’t be around to see it…at least Andy and I probably won’t. 🙂
Having lived many years in Florida, I found his theory plausible. And what’s up with this year’s record-setting hurricanes? What a burden for my grands, and theirs. I’m glad I won’t be around to witness it.
I’ve read the hurricane records weren’t all due to global warming, but we do know the warming oceans aren’t good news for them.
My apologies but I just can’t watch it. I did try but after the first few minutes I just had to turn it off. It’s not that I don’t believe in global warming I do and I do think that Florida will someday be underwater water if that’s what it’s talking about. I cannot watch a documentary on anyting I never have and I never will they just bore me I’m not a science nerd I’m not a geography nerd I’m not an anything but fiction nerd I can read fiction for hours and hours a day or I can watch a movie but I just can’t stand documentaries. The good thing is Bob love documentaries and he will tell me what’s going on
Please don’t apologize! If it doesn’t turn you on don’t waste your time even trying to watch. I write about things that catch my fancy, knowing full well that not everyone will be interested. The main thing is to do the things you enjoy…life is too short not too. Because of my eyes I stopped reading fiction years ago. I could listen to it on audible books, but it doesn’t grab me like history and biographies do.
It’s all life on earth. As we”‘ve seen & read from other documentaries, earth is ever elvolving…continents change shape, oceans levels are bound to change just with currents & earth shifting on it’s axis. We are definitely in an age of change & we are witness to it…but, I personally think it will be 1000s of years to see dramatic change instead of the subtle differences we see today. Just my opinion.
I wasn’t convinced about the fellow’s time estimate either, but it was interesting to see how things might change if the rising seas were the only thing going on. I’m not sure Bangladesh won’t be in serious trouble in the not-so-distant future, though. Some of the islands in the Pacific already are.
I tried to watch but couldn’t quite focus on it,
You have so little free time, please don’t waste it if I post something that you’re not interested in. There will be plenty more posts coming. 😀
