Geology and Global Warming

Article

Now that Pig Flu is proving to be a washout, it's back to Global Warming and imminent disaster. I think we humans always need something like this, and the media will certainly fill the need!

Ian Pilmer is hilarious, but this article is a more reasoned approach. Geology tells us that sea level is always going up and down, so we could say that we are foolish being so sensitive to a tiny rise. Who put those big cities on the coast anyway?

I still think it's a toss-up whether we bake or freeze in the next 20 years, but sea level could rise at any time regardless. So for now, we can engage in our Therapeutic Panic by screaming - "AHHH! SEA LEVEL IS GOING UP BY AN INCH, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!"
