First i believe that you...and anyone that believes that releasing millions and millions years worth of stored C02 into the atmosphere in such a short period of time will have no consequence is an idiot. Let me reiterate an IDIOT. Why would you not attempt to find sources of energy that would diminish any possibility of such a consequence considering our limited understanding climate change.
Secondly, my belief of such a scenario is that it will result in another ice-age. As more fresh-water is released from the ice-caps it will result in a slowing of the currents both north and south of the ice caps. As this slows the air becomes cooler. The entire northern hemisphere including the UK and northern Europe will be thrown into an eventual ice freeze.[/quote]

Why should I believe you (who I don't know from Adam) and whoever you believe in when I normally don't believe in weather forecasting which is short term and is notorious for being inaccurate?

Just wanted to clear up your poor skills of quoting on a forum. Apart from that, if you believe comparing weather forecasting to climate change is intelligent, well...good luck with that, and i assure you i still dont have an ignore list...moreso a cant be bothered list.

Here is another reason why I'm not too concerned about global warming with allegedly rising sea levels:

Sure, i'll let you know what i believe will happen.
My question was first though, do you you believe there will be no consequence to releasing many millions of years worth of stored Co2 into the atmosphere...are you certain or do you just believe?
Here are my thoughts.

Weather forecasting is highly unreliable so why should I put credence in climate forecasting which can only be more unreliable. Second there seems to be a (US) government conspiracy to snow us into believing there is global warming which will result in loss of land.
Not in Canada. We will have a boom so get ready to migrate.

Forecasting is hard, I agree, but to ignore the North and South poles shrinking and the disappearing glaciers world wide is stupid.
