    I wonder if every one on earth drank 1 extra glass of water per day if we could bring down the water level???

    How about a glass of beer instead? - I hear it takes about twenty pints of water to make one pint of beer.

    I live in Florida 3 miles from the beach and 15 feet above sea level.

    Maybe I will end up with beach front property before I die.

    Or a little closer to the beach.

    here's some simple data in video format to help you understand that the effects of climate change are here and now in the American backyard

    Guess we'll all have to start drinking our own recycled pee.

    Climate change — it happens, with or without our help. I do not believe humans have anything to do with it. The earth is always going thru cycles. There is nothing humans can do to stop earth from going thru cycle upheaval. I don't fall for the lame stream media hype. Just my opinion. Shana

    Shanagirl, the change is accelerating and very good mathematical models bears this up.

    gnat - Whether or not it's accelerating, I don't believe humans are causing it and I don't believe humans can stop it.

    jgnat - "...the change is accelerating and very good mathematical models bears this up."

    Surprisingly, realizing and accepting this was one of those little things that helped me wake up to the TATT.

    Back when I was still in (and ostensibly a believer), and because the worst-case "global warming scenario" seemed so undeniably apocalyptic, I felt compelled to factor it in to the WTS' eschatology...

    ...but...

    ...I couldn't figure out how being a dutiful JW would protect me and my family from rising sea levels (or overpopulation, or resource depletion, etc.).

    I was forced to come to the conclusion that whatever belief system one subscribed to didn't matter in the face of that kind of phenomenon.

    Which, of course, inevitably led me to the question, "So why bother stay a JW?"

    Shanagirl, the math is inescapable. The acceleration happened when CO 2 rose. How did this become an ideology?
