Cold reception to Crispin’s column

It is impossible for oceans to rise in isolation. The world's interconnected oceans cover three hundred and sixty-five million square kilometers, also if you factor in the massive amount of evaporation that takes place daily this is just scare mongering.

In summary, the heavy ice melting is going to sink Antarctica and cause everyone to die, and those that question this narrative are fossil fuel misinformationists. And if you want proof look at the gas that makes up 0.04% of our atmosphere co2 , which has risen 12ppm in 24 years. It concludes by saying scientists should be publishing more scary things in a scary ways so you're more scared. Neglects to mention if human co2 emissions stop today entirely, it would take a minimum of 100years to see a possible result. Co2 has a life cycle and ultimately ends back in the ground. Nox gases remain in the atmosphere and are known as greenhouse gases, although this article mentions cfc reduction in a feel good way, it fails to look at any other greenhouse gases that are often increased as a way of decreasing co2. Gaslighting the people evidently gets more funding than solving problems for scientists and journalists. The world needs more engineers and less journalists.

If the risk was real there’s no way any bank in the world would allow a 30 year mortgage on a waterfront property. Their risk assessment teams simply would say no.

All the doom and gloom climate science experts predictions have ended up on the scrap heap of poor guesses since the '70s. Somebody will get one correct one day...... till then keep throwing darts at the board.

Dion Brown

When waterfront property values fall, you can start believing in climate change.

Lawrence Mason

You would have to wonder why funding gets pulled for things like renewable microgrids, wouldn't you Crispin?

I’m sorry your tip jar was raided. Please remember the thousands of good people you have served and don’t let the actions of one bad one change your behaviour or steal your joy - that would make your world smaller and darker. There is still more good in the world than bad if you choose to look for it. Stay kind and keep shining.
