Amos,


"If all glaciers and ice caps melt, the projected rise in sea-level will be around 0.5 m. If the melting includes the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets (both of which contain ice above sea level), then the rise is a more drastic 68.8 m. [3] "

I do not dispute any of the facts you have presented- BUT I would differ as to the cause of the effects you note. You ignore the recent volcanic eruptions, and place the blame for ALL changes on human activity. I am not so sure, though I agree there should be HONEST study of the problem- the impact of man on the environment.


"The sea level has risen more than 120 metres since the peak of the last ice age about 18,000 years ago. The bulk of that occurred before 6000 years ago. "   ... about the same time period as the deforestation of the Sahara region by humans introducing goats to the then savana.
