1. stupid questions

if the ice melted, would the earth still be habitable by humans? I mean would overall temperature be survivable? Would it mess with the magnetic field or anything like that?

2. It just occurred to me that all the liberal coastal cities would be under water

which is probably why the right wing doesn't give a damn about global warming.

3. the wealthy would lose all their waterfront property.

5. Time for population reduction.

How do we achieve it?

Each person on this planet has a carbon footprint. We cannot sustain further population growth.

9. According to the UN, the birthrate is already dropping

and over half the world is reproducing below the replacement rate. We are slowly thinning the herd naturally.

12. We need more incentives.

Remove all tax incentives and subsidies for having more than one child.

I hope the UN is right and the trend accelerates...greatly.

11. Trumps working on that one, I suspect it has to do with Global Thermonuclear War.

6. The "plan" (such that it is) is to allow the poor dark skinned people to die everywhere first...

Then the poor uneducated whites, then the rest of the whites until only the 0.01% of the richest are left in bunkers in New Zealand.

They do not care because they really believe and internalize the myth of the "self-made man"...THEY built EVERYTHING by themselves and they believe a world with no consumers is no big deal...they got theirs already so fuck the planet...

They should all be hanged for crimes against humanity.

7. MY CITY WOULD ALMOST DISAPPEAR.

8. Is it just my imagination or does the US look to lose the most landmass just behind Brazil?

[roamer65]

10. The US and China both lose much of its tillable acreage.

[cstanleytech]

13. Ouch. nt

[roamer65]

14. Imagine the pollution from it.

Old gas stations, oil refineries, nuclear power stations, etc, etc...all underwater.

Glad I won't be around to see it.

[cstanleytech]

16. Yes, I thought of that potential problem from ocean levels rising decades ago

as well as the potential problems it could cause to plate tectonics in some areas for which I was laughed at and dismissed for even mentioning the "absurd" idea.

[roamer65]

17. In 20-30 years they won't be laughing.

Not when the large amounts of displaced people start moving inland.

[greytdemocrat]

15. Yeah well

That isn't going to happen and it just
makes the Left or whoever is pushing
this look nuts.

[ret5hd]

18. Uhhhhhmmm...well uhhh...hmmm.

Your data and logic has completely won me over!!!
