Antartic Ice Shelf Collapse

  Bernie Sanders is correct, the biggest threat is global warming.

Science Daily: Two degree Celsius warming locks in sea level rise for thousands of years
summary - A jump in global average temperatures of 1.5°C to 2°C will see the collapse of Antarctic ice shelves and lead to hundreds and even thousands of years of sea level rise, according to new research.

Actually, this is a very conservative prediction. Thousands of yrs.? These guys aren't helping anyone with this call. The reason is simple, tell people the Ice sheets are going to melt in thousands of yrs. and you lose your audience. Simply put the'll think not my problem and move on. Hansen and his team project a much more rapid rise if we pass the 2 C goal and that's a given. So, is this going to happen sooner or later is the BIG ? This add gives you the idea mostly later. It's a real gamble that it's right. Billions of people live on or near the Ocean's coastlines.

I'm reading it also also means that the sea level rise will lasts for thousands of years as well, meaning humanity is in for a huge living adjustment, as we know. We gotta get Bernie Sanders in the White House. He's got it right.
