There is no debate on GW...

In other words, the debate, it over. It's just over. Climate change is here, it's scarier than we thought, we're causing it, and (especially in combination with other large-scale environmental and social problems) it's going to demand radical innovation and major reforms.

those questioning the scientific consensus at this point probably have another agenda...

what's yours?

If the world water levels have risen so much, then you should have no problems finding submerged cities along all coasts and not just off the coast of Egypt...where are the lost Irish ruins? How about submerged Inca cities? Where is the ancient Chinese Atlantis?

On a related note...it makes zero difference whether or not global warming is man-made. You are implying an argument similar to a steel worker who gets lung cancer from exposure to sulfuric fumes and says he should not quit smoking because that was not the primary cause of his cancer...whatever the cause of global warming, we have to do what we can to prevent it or at least slow it down.
