#2 "Yeah, well, okay, but, but like before that Gaia was a serene Heaven, polar bear and penguin babies sharing a ~~Coke~~ cod, lions lying with lambs 'n everything! Bush ruined everything! Kill yourselves! Kill yourselves!"

Heh, you first.

#3 A foot and a half. They're talking about a rise of a foot and a half.

Christ, when I was a kid, they would threaten us with the whole eastern seaboard inundated up to the piedmont.

Lame.

#4 Look at a map of sea levels 15,000 years ago and it's astonishing how much land has been lost to rising sea levels. Archeologists refer to the areas now under water as countries, such as Doggerland, which is the southern half of what is now the North Sea.

7,500 years ago the Black Sea was dry land then

It was a catastrophic event. Every day for two years, 42 cubic km of sea water cut through the narrow channel now known as the Bosporus, and plunged into the lake more than 200 times the flow over Niagara Falls. Every day the lake level rose 15 cm. Every day the water spread another kilometer, forcing people and animals to flee or drown, killing freshwater fish and plants by the ton and inundating forests and villages.

That's nothing Mitch, when I was a kid we had the deadly Nuclear Winter staring us in the face.
