Wait a minute? Doesnt that mean that sometime prior to 1300 years ago it was warmer? Or is 1300 years a number they pull out of their a$$e$?

12-5-2006 Alps are warmest in 1,300 years
VIENNA, Austria - Europe's Alpine region is going through its warmest period in 1,300 years, the head of an extensive climate study said Tuesday.
Reinhard Boehm, a climatologist at Austria's Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics said.
Boehm based his comments on the results of a project conducted by a group of European institutes between March 2003 and August 2006.
Humans first had an impact on the global climate in the 1950s, Boehm said, noting that at first, the release of aerosols into the atmosphere cooled the climate. Since the 1980s, however, greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane have warmed it up, he said.
"It will undoubtedly get warmer in the future," Boehm said.
Last I checked, Democrats drove cars too.Couldn't possibly be according to Republicans.

Well, d@mn. There's the solution to global warming! We just need to go back to aerosol cans etc and we can fix the problem.

"For the first time the rising ocean levels have washed away an inhabited island. Lohachara island was at one point home to some 10,000 people. It, along with several other spits of land near the Indian mainland, is now permanently underwater. From the article: ' As the seas continue to swell, they will swallow whole island nations, from the Maldives to the Marshall Islands, inundate vast areas of countries from Bangladesh to Egypt, and submerge parts of scores of coastal cities. Eight years ago ... the first uninhabited islands - in the Pacific atoll nation of Kiribati - vanished beneath the waves. The people of low-lying islands in Vanuatu, also in the Pacific, have been evacuated as a precaution, but the land still juts above the sea. The disappearance of Lohachara, once home to 10,000 people, is unprecedented.'"
Ok... so I am at Target in the produce section and a little girl 3 or 4 sees a pineapple and yells out "Look it's sponge bob's house!" for all to hear.Originally posted by: senseamp

The specific temperature of the Alps is irrelevant because we are talking about global warming. GoPackGo's question is also irrelevant for the very same reason.

They used to be a lot more than a "few feet above sea level".
A lot of the barrier islands in the gulf are already gone.

You don't live anywhere near the coast do you?
If you did you would know that the water has come up quite a bit.
Low tide is now where high tide marks used to be.
High tide a lot is under water that never was before.
Enjoy
