<Where Mq and I disagree is on the potential rate of future ice sheet melting. He thinks it would take thousands of years, and that humans would have plenty of time to adapt> Where did you get 1000s of years? People would have lots of time to adapt to melting, but that means more like 50 years or 100 years. I actually think we are more likely to get freezing, but certain to get bonzo tsunamis to make any melting sea level changes trivial. We have recently seen the effects of rapid sea level rises. It has always seemed obvious to me that such sudden sea level rises, in the space of a fraction of a second, are far more dangerous than similar sea level rises over 50 years. But each to their own ideas. I find it pointless to try to talk sense into people. They should worry about 50cm sea level rise over the next 10 or 20 years - that's the ticket... Mqurice
