rise in sea level, glacial retreat, polar ice cap melt all sound like the same thing?
You do realise I was joking???
THe point is this. Permafrost in the Ukrain is melting.
The weather is changing. It does not matter why now. This train is not going to be stopped by an economic attitude that will take too long to help. It is now about what we do to survive. These temperature changes have been tracked in the old ice patterns etc. They do not take thousands of years as was once thought. One hundred years from now, maybe fifty the World will be a very different place. Will our electronics etc survice the crazy weather???? Agriculture etc etc.

20 foot rise. A 2 foot rise would do it. The level is not so much the problem. It is the temperature and where the currents take those tempuatures.

I don't care. I have no children and will have been looking at the lid a long time by then.

Sail now, sail fast.
