Do we need to be preparing for Arctic cruising strategies because of Global Cooling

And you have no argument.

Speaking of no argument, and now that we have been refreshed on some of the actual science explaining why land masses have always risen and sunk, let's have another look at a few snippets from L-E's NY Times article about the sinking of Tangiers Island in the Chesapeake Bay:

1. " Tangier had lost two-thirds of its landmass since 1850."

2. "Over the past four centuries, Schulte estimates, more than 500 islands have disappeared from the bay, about 40 of them once inhabited."

3. "The land in and around the Chesapeake is sinking, because of lingering effects from geological events dating back 20,000 years."

4. The forces that make the Chesapeake area so vulnerable (the region currently experiences about five millimeters of relative sea-level rise annually, significantly more than the global annual average of three millimeters) will not be getting any better. “'The land is likely to be sinking for many thousands of years.'”

Huh. And somehow the problems Tangiers Island faces are attributable to MMGW, along with countless miles of the eastern seaboard. Go figure. But according to the article and its sources, parts of Miami Beach will be underwater in 2050. Unless you would prefer to believe Mr. Schulte from the Corps of Engineers who claims Miami is already underwater. Anyone know someone we could call down in Miami to see how high the water is??

Nonsense?
The very island I live on (not Guam) has obvious evidence of subsistence in some areas and rising in others. I don't have any links, just looking at the shore as I sail around it and other long time residents' memories.

It's NOT going to capsize as a congressman (don't know what he was smoking at the time) said.

Oh come on.. surely he's smoking something You don't have to be a believer in MMGW to know he's on something. The following may explain it.

"In December 2009, Johnson revealed that he had been battling Hepatitis C (HCV) for over a decade, which resulted in slow speech and a tendency to regularly get "lost in thought in the middle of a discussion".[33] Johnson said that he learned he had the disease in 1998 but did not know how he contracted it. HCV-induced liver dysfunction often leads to hepatic encephalopathy, a cause of confusion."

People, there have been posts in this thread with the entire text or large chunks of text taken out of copyrighted sources and posted, mostly without even any comments or analysis.

This is a violation of the right of fair use and is forbidden by the CF rules. It is also poor posting style -- if you are trying to make some argument -- make that argument, and make it in your own words, and use other people's words selectively to support your argument. Just cutting and pasting stuff you find in the Internet just clutters up the thread, besides being a possible copyright violation, and definitely violation of our Rules.

If you want someone to read an entire article, just post the link.

Thank you.

I don't think SO quite understood the point. So now we get just a bare link with no comment or explanation.

I for one will not be bothering to follow any of them.

Yes -- if you want an outside source to complement a discussion, it's advisable to write something about whatever it is, you think the source is saying.

There's no substitute for thinking -- and arguing -- for yourself. Anyone can google up a bunch of links, but what do they mean?

I read the thread, yes I know, I was bored - it was raining here. All I can say is that most of went went on here doesn't surprise me, from the people who think the moon landing was faked and aliens are real.

NASA believes the moon landings were real and also believe aliens are real. That should surprise you.

With how big the universe is believing that humans are the only sentient lifeforms is really dilusional IMO.
