Do you understand how many people will die if the sea level rises by 13 feet?

Agreed! Property values will skyrocket as the coastal land that is available now disappears beneath the waves. It will be like the incoming tides from hurricane Katrina & Sandy but on a more permanent level.

Ice floes melt faster & earlier in the year making hunting extremely difficult for polar bears.

He lives in a world all of his own. When he did 6 weeks in the army he believed he was the arch angel Gabriel & they sent him home on a mental discharge. I knew better but was too lazy to wake up & go check out the story. He means well. He got the story partially right. It is happening, but he thought it happened right then.

Well maybe if they just sat there while the water slowly built up over the years, or they will just move 13' higher in elevation where the new beach will be.

weather and climate are complex systems

according to complexity theory the system can be for a very long time in a **** stable condition waiting for tha right trigger, just like 1 snowflake can cause an avalanche.
the transition to a more stable state is very fast, and in most cases irreversible.
