The creep quoted obviously doesn't believe in global warming, so feels
free to ignore it. By the time global warming gets bad enough that
even inland idiots like Jim Thompson can't ignore it, it's going to be
much more difficult - probably impossible, with a significant
proportion of global resources suddenly vanishing under the rising
seas - to do anything about it.

The Neocons will still be denying climate change even when the sea is lapping at the steps of the White House. Plenty of the USA is well above sea level so they do not care.

Florida will be first to get what it deserves though.

Bill is too stupid to realize that Phoenix is 1100 feet above sea
level, while Nijmegen is list at about 22 feet above sea level? My home
is abut 100 feet above sea level so if Bill gets his wish, he will be
dead, long before either of us. I wonder if he even remembers that
floating ice displaces the same amount of sea water as it will after it
melts?

Not true. Ice floating on cold brine at or near the poles the additional volume increase on melting is about 3% because the ice displaces its own *weight* of water. You also get some additional expansion of the bulk ocean from warming of the water and loss of habitat in the tropics if the water warms too much.

The ice deposits on Greenland and Antarctica is mostly land based. Its melting contribution to sea level change is 100%. Ditto for Glacier National Park which will soon be rather oddly misnamed.
