What's frightening I think is that no one really knows for sure because scientific research is only just ramping up.

Two melting glaciers could determine the fate of our coastlines.

Well, according to al gore I should be meters below sea level by now. That didn't happen...

So yeah, I wonder what scientists are going to find out. I just hope they are unbiased and thus not financed by climate related funds.

If we're both still around, you're more than welcome to stay at my place, Bob. I'll even have gainful employment for you as I'm thinking I might start a business doing boat tours of the D'Aguilar Islands.[smilebigeye]

Touche ! Keep your sense of humour, it will sustain you while you tread water. According to science, we have enough time to do something about it now. But it must be now.

D'Aguilar Islands, sounds exotic. Hopefully by then our descendants will be off the grid around the Kuranda archipelago .
