    Just rename the Maldives to Atlantis and no one will care.

    run for your lives! the ocean is rising! 10cm per century! you don’t have much time, hurry!

    Show me some proof. Coral islands sink, they have been doing it since created, land masses erode and don’t sink the same. Water ‘rising’ in one place and not in another is proof enough. The ocean must rise equally or not at all.
    So much for scientific intelligence.

    What are you talking about Antarctic ice shrinking. Chuncks of ice the size of rohde island are breaking off. Images show it receding. get your head out of your ass

    The climate change deniers need to look at this. Especially in this COP15 fortnight. Entire nations will literally disappear.

    correlation does not mean causation. you would have to be retarded to not see correlation.

    This is such a load of CRAP!

    People will believe anything the media spits out.

    Open your eyes and look at the big picture.

    WE ARE BEING FOOLED TO THINK A ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT WILL SAVE US FROM A FLOOD.

    JESUS MAID A PROMISE NEVER TO FLOOD THE EARTH AGAIN AND I TRUST THAT OVER ALL!!!!

    Nice Cantos1917, I can write numbers that have nothing to do with empirical data too! Here we go: 5%. 7/10. 365 days in a year!

    If you want to get truly scientific, here’s this one: greater than 99% of scientists agree that the data we have shows a correlation between human activity and global warming.

  16. Cantos1917 on December 11th, 2009

    These people are truly ignorant and ridiculous. Maldives have been occupied since 300 B.C. Industrialization has been going on for only about 200 years, and the planet itself is hundreds of millions of years old. Global warming is a scam for politicians and a quasi- religion for people whoa re desperate to believe in anyhting that will feed their envy. Geez, ridiculous.

    Where??? I’ve lived by the sea all my life. No change here.

  18. peachyfuz101 on December 11th, 2009

    Sea level change does vary due to lots of factors. But the overall average is rising and is well documented.

  19. peachyfuz101 on December 11th, 2009

    “Not every place on the planet warms uniformly, and there is significant regional variability. The ice in some parts of high-altitude East Antarctica is increasing, probably because of increases increase in precipitation over that region. Because the area is still below freezing, precipitation falls as snow, which increases the thickness of the ice. “

    man i can’t believe some of u guys are opposing this meeting, this ain’t the first meeting held to warn ppl about disasters,, maybe u guys are haveing such a fu$^#% life not to care about us

    Theswedechris: The main source of CO2 comes from our oceans and lakes geothermal activity etc. It comes from our planet we call home. The human factor does not raise this any registered amount. This Global warming is a scam! The planet is cooling. Don’t buy into the Governments scam, the only thing they want is a venue that will never go away so there tax machine never stops.

    The level of the seawater is rising. At last we humans as a race have found a concrete reason as to “Why bother to treat the planet more carefully?” Yay! Now lets allso bother to separate the metal from glass when recycling. :)

    if the president really want to cut amnt of gases..then cuts the plane based tourism in maldives…helll still they needs tourists…every one whos visits contributes to this global warmin…phew..

  24. daggyz1959 on December 11th, 2009

    If RLove250 bothered to do some research instead of calling people names he’d be more intelligent in his replies. Antarctic ice had bits breaking off because the ice shelf has grown so much they snap off. It happens all the time which ius why we have had icebergs since the beginning of time…. While the Arctic ice has shrunk visibly, the southern ice shelf has expanded and is it’s thickest it’s been in the last ten years (much like his reply to me)
