The sea level has been steadly rising for thousands of years because of the end of the Ice Age that has not ended. The land Bridge from Russia to Alaska was slowly submerged as the ice caps begain to melt and raised the ocean levels within the last 25,000 years. Forest fires were common and natural before mankind started putting them out, now fossil fuels are being blamed. for doing the same thing. Nature has been far more violent to the Earth in general that anything mankind has done. In minutes earthquakes or volcanos can cause more damage than ten thousand years for man to duplicate. This "Global Warming" issue is just a normal cycle the Earth is going though and some people are trying to tag it as something that man did so they can create a power base for their own designs. Yep, man has screwed some stuff up, and can undo some of them, but in the overall big picture, we are just along for the ride. We are just one meteor away from being extinct, one flu bug or just someone running a stop sign. Oil will be gone in a few more decades and we may be back in caves or burning water (H20 does burn).

Just fourty years ago, the same types of folks were screaming that an impending Ice Age was coming.... There wasn't internet to pass it on to everyone so it just faded away. They can't even get tomorrow's weather right, do you really think they can get the next century right? If you do, then I have a bridge that you need to buy that is going to be the only high ground around.....
