Hi Whar Rat; Re: "In addition, the last time the planet was 2 degrees warmer, the oceans were four to six (perhaps eight) meters higher.";

Going to the NASA link you provided we find:

Hansen found that global mean temperatures during the Eemian period, which began about 130,000 years ago and lasted about 15,000 years, were less than 1 degree Celsius warmer than today. If temperatures were to rise 2 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial times, global mean temperature would far exceed that of the Eemian, when sea level was four to six meters higher than today, Hansen said.

Okay. So you're saying that sea levels could conceivably be 4 to 6 meters higher if temperatures stay 2 degrees C warmer for the next 15,000 years.

So, let's see. Do you think that the people of the year 17014 AD will have enough knowledge and technology to deal with a 4 meter rise in ocean levels? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! LOL!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

This is a great illustration of how far your side has drifted from reality.

P.S. Glad to see you doubling down to agreement that the temperature rise is likely to be less than 2 degrees C! This is the first step towards rationality. But I don't think you have the guts to make it even though your own graph shows it.
