I’ve lived on this planet for more than 4 decades and we’ve never had a ‘global killer’ asteroid hit. So by your logic, it’ll never happen in the future, right?
By your ‘logic’, you’re comparing two events with widely varying likelihoods and variance of outcomes as measured by two time horizons for the events which are inappropriate for the comparison. Thus, it is flawed ‘logic’.
Only an uneducated person too young to gain knowledge from personal experiences would ask for that OBVIOUS info. Do you want to withdraw your lame request, or let it stand?
A few global killer asteroids occurred in the past, but over FAR greater time periods than long time period/ duration climate changes.
I am guessing you don’t live in the Miami Beach area. From what I’ve seen, there are areas there that are below water whenever there are particularly high tides that never use to be underwater.
But lets be real, climate change doesn’t mean every place is going to experience the same changes or even any change at all. That is why you can’t say well this doesn’t happen where I live so it must not be happening anywhere else either.
Good point. However, the discussion is dependent on the definition of GLOBAL Sea Level Rise, which does not consider infrequent, but recurring ebbs and flows of LOCAL tides.
GLOBAL and LOCAL rhyme, but they certainly aren’t equivalent terms.
Actually it is man’s fault if man paves over wetlands, drains underground acquifers, and dredges channels that cause a redirection of currents that lead to subsidence and erosion. And man pretty much does all that all the time.

Fake news, fake numbers. If the government thought this was real, they wouldn’t keep spending tax dollars on beach replenishment, would they?
Would they?

I live on the beach in Florida. I moved in here 1983. The ocean has not risen here at all.

See: Russian forest Tunguska Impact, 1908.
Provide the likelihood and variance of outcomes for both scenarios with sources or your post is simply conjecture

Cool cool cool. Thanks for the insult and not backing up your argument at all. Good talk buddy.
Forecast horizon differential. Look it up.
Oh yeah, you definitely just proved your argument solely by telling me to google something (end sarcasm)
many years versus many millenium.
Thanks for the insult. Got anything of substance to add here or you’re just posting to try and get an emotional reply out of me?

Don’t think they take into account land subsidence which also is not man’s fault.
