A Flooded Earth

[Thande]

Have none of you seen Waterworld? with Kevin Costner? Jeez man, thats what I'm lookin forward to...

That's the first time anyone's ever said that about that film

I kinda like that movie...

Dennis Hopper rUlzorz!!!!!1!!

Looks cool though. I like the whole missing florida thing.

Of course everyone now knows that global warming will bring on an Ice Age.

Gore is thinking "got you now!"

Anybody want to change this and use it for the AV threads?

Thats interesting,but seriously,this is way over the top.The entire continent of Antarctica melting?No,that is insane.Still,it is interesting to note what the world would look like if the planet were so and so higher sea levels

 

[nunya]

What about Australia, I hear it only has to rise a metre and most of Australia floods, of course I could find out myself, but I'm willing to let you do the work for me

Yeah,but nobody lives there.If a shallow sea starts to cover south-central Australia,it will probably have quite a positive effect.Large areas would now become habitable.

It's not the end result that gets you -- it's the change.

Can the world handle a massive shift in coastlines as sea levels rise, then handle the new Ice Age that would follow? Tough to tell, though the fact that the whole cycle would take at least a few hundred years would help.

There is a bit of ice left there, but I agree with you. Antarctica-going-temperate is way overdone in these climate-change studies, "just because it's cool".

I laud your punning, good sirrah!

Yeah,but nobody lives there.

Except for Alice Springs and Canberra, almost every big city in Oz is at the sea. So you'd only have to make to move, I don't know, 90% of its population? Suuure, no problem at all.

I've seen the site.

It ROCKSORZ!!!!

 

[Strategos' Risk]

Her science. Chris Wayan is a she. Look at the rest of the site (if you dare).

The gaian wiccan pagantry was a bit eccentric, but the bizarre sexuality and furries drove me to cries of "suffer ye not live, in the name of the Emperor!" Nice alt-Earths, though.

 

[alt_historian]

Why not?

Explain please? Why couldn't that happen, given double ideal level of CO2, and 1000 years or so?

 

[Max Sinister]

Chris Wayan claims that sea level would rise at least 100 meters, if all the ice in the world melted. This seems a bit too much, since most sources mention 60 to 80 meters. (I calculated 67 meters.)

Thande posted this in April 2005, months before Hurricane Katrina which struck in August 2005.

Can Thande see the future?

its the boon he gets for being the brunt of blaming.
