    Modern Warming no big deal

    The Medieval Warming was far more dramatic than the Modern Warming period we are now in.
    We are no where near maximum.

    Repeat...Re-FUDNice fud.
    I use primary sources.
    You use "stuff" on your website.
    Science is about the details...the data...not a summary.

    adaptationismOne of the interesting things to take away from this article is that even the richer countries do not know what to do, by way of adapting to rising sea levels.  Hurricane Katrina made the same point, really, but not so clearly, because it came across as a typical locally catastrophic seasonal storm, not as the environmental-disaster-waiting-to-happen which it was.
    In East Anglia, it is noteworthy that the farmers and other landowners cannot get compensated for their lost land, or for lost trees; private attempts to shore up the beach cliffs have been forbidden; and because the region has been understood to be subsiding for some time, it seems to be given up for lost.
    "They won't let London get flooded, will they, but to hell with us out here," seems to be the moral.
    Norwich, by the way, is the home town of the great late-14th/early-15th-century aristocratic woman recluse, Julian, who shut herself up in a cell along the wall of the cathedral, with a window looking inward, and who wrote one of the most moving classics of spirituality in all the Christian library, a memoir of her visions.  Amidst visions of the suffering of humanity, she famously heard the words, "And yet all will be well, and all will be well, and all will be very well."

    So are other sensitive animals!

    Enough is enough!

    EffectsThe effects you folks are noticing is not something that will be around for eternity as it is just a period we are going through and no matter how everyone stops carbon ,the earth will go through her processes that do not,and may I repeat do not originate here or with the humans on this planet.So just hang on and enjoy the ride as this anomaly will abate,but just as the tornadoes in Kansas,this process will get worse,much worse and then abate in a few short years.You folks should be working to warn the people in the historical locales of hurricane activity and tornado activity to batten down the hatches and be ready for more.We cant throw money  at the problem as Im sure the galaxy does not have an account,so why try? When you folks support the people that would have us pay money to solve the problem,you take money from the rescue missions that are needed and will continue on.The FEMA system will go broke just trying.YOU'LL SEE !!!
