We all know the popular song.......It takes a WORRIED scientist to sing a WORRIED Global Warming song
.......I'm worried NOW, but I might be dead soon....like the planet
Incidentally, in the Milwaukee Centinel Newspaper recently scientists are WORRIED that ONLY 3% of the lake is frozen.......the least in DECADES. This is expected to cause a large disruption in the lake and land ecosystem there !

Oh, yes---that "rapid" rise of 3.9 mm. Get your kayak out
Now, if you can show me year by year data for the last 23,000 years and that the last 2 years are the largest rise in that time, then you'd have something. Unfortunately, Fred Flintstone didn't have an accurate ruler and the clay tablet he inscribed those numbers upon have crumbled. But since ocean levels rose 432 feet from 21,000 to 11,000 BC, I'd bet there were many, many years with an ocean rise of greater than 3.9 mm, again, all without the internal combustion engine.
BTW,
which scientists????? Would those be the ones dependent upon government grants, journal acceptance of their articles, and university tenure to survive???? Yep, I thought so.
And I assume that the Milwaukee paper is referring to Lake Michigan having the lowest percentage freeze in decades. Which means there were previous decades with
even less freezing.
