GD4ELI Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Looks like Ramsey will vanish in less than 100 years. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7935159.stm The global sea level looks set to rise far higher than forecast because of changes in the polar ice-sheets, a team of researchers has suggested. What are the MHK's doing to prepare for rising sea levels apart from sticking heads into the sand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilDDog Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Professor Stefan Ramstorf of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research said: "Based on past experience, I expect that sea level rise will accelerate as the planet gets hotter." Well, if we go by the summer we had last year, we'll be ok, because this place certainly isn't getting hotter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Can't we speed this all up somehow? 100 years is too long to wait to see the arse end of Ramsey. I'll more than likely be dead by then, or at least scanned into some 'Matrix Like' computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 What are the MHK's doing to prepare for rising sea levels apart from sticking heads into the sand? Sounds like a good start, as long as they stay there until high tide comes in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
