Good for the dissenters. It's still a free country thankfully, and we can all disent publicly on any issue. It us what makes this country great. I personally think they are wrong, as do a lot of scientists, but they are professional scientists and certainly their opinions carry some weight. Nature will decide this issue and it won't take very long either, a few more decades and we'll know for sure. On a personnel level, I would just sell any low lying land, like anything within about 30 feet of sea level (even if you're in a river valley, as long as it has access to the ocean and is tidal it can flood along with the coasts), just to be on the safe side and not burden my decendents with worthless property.

BTW, one note about your picking and chosing of sources to form your opinion regarding global warming. Surely you understand that is not a scientific approach. You do not draw a conclusion on an issue like global warming such as it is a farce and then try to build a case to defend your position based on opinions of others and cherrypicked data. A scientist is suppossed to look at an issue as a clean slate and form his/her scientific opinion based on what the peer-reviewed data is telling them, with input from other scientists publishing peer-reviewed research in scientific publications. That is science in action, not I can find 2% who disagree, thus it supports my position entirely.
