hard luck, they built to near sea level. But don't blame that on anyone except those who built the towns there. They had better start moving!

perhaps, not everyone actually believes the scare stories. The equations that the greenhouse effect scare is based on have been proved to be erroneous. So , perhaps not everyone believes these scare stories - and they are STORIES, not facts.

then why is the sea not rising? perhaps it is because the world is NOT getting warmer any more at all. And, PROVE that "it's actually BS", please. why is the WMO predicting a drop in temp. this year? or do you only jump up and roll over when the UN predicts a rise? also, WHY do you WANT it to get hotter? have you got investments in the carbon Credit industry?

Oh, dear, Mrs Gibbles, another bad day, eh? Well, look around and see the preponderance of evidence for warming... earlier spring for plants and animals, droughts here, too much rain there, winter tornadoes in the US south east... melting of the world's ancient ice... its right there to see. Deny all you want, but it's true!

A 92 year notice of their impending eviction should suffice. If they don't move out the way in that amount of time they only have themselves to blame.

I'd say that to people who have expensive homes on lowbank oceanfront property -- if you can't forsee the future value, it's your problem. But I wouldn't say that to the millions of poor in Bangladesh. They don't have the same options.

"Within the next 50 years, there could be more heat waves, higher summer temperatures and fewer cold winters in the at-risk region, the report warned."

or...

Within the next 50 years, there could be less heat waves, lower summer temperatures and more cold winters in the at-risk region.

The Key word is "could".

Alarmist fear mongering.

Ya just gotta love Greenpeace..

Moore, a founder of Greenpeace, pointed out that Greenpeace:

Tend strongly to be anti-human

Anti science and technology

Anti-trade and anti-capitalism

Anti-business

Anti-civilization

Invariably misleading
