Flooding will become worst. Ice Cap melts.

Each summer has been getting hotter and warmer since the 2012. There are islands that have already sunk during summer. Snow has been melting too fast since 2012. Winter has been quite dry in a lot of areas. Keep watch on how much snow this winter will have, having lots of snow was very normal(so don't complain unless it continues to snow in spring). It maybe next summer when the side effects of major flooding starts happening into cities. Dams have been overflowing this summer. It is all about Winter and the Ice caps to maintain balance of rising tides.

What happened to the coming ice age?

It's working on it.
Give it 5 to 10 thousand years.

I don't think you have the proper scale of what an "age" means.

An ice age can't rescue us.

Anyone living on it? If they are, my guess is they won't be by next week.

Every 6 years we get an intense winter... we just got it... it sucked but most snow i can remember seeing... this summer is super hot.. but i remember this... next summer will be wet, oh and this winter.. harshe.. its a cycle... would you like to place bets on my location? Im in canada and nothing is unusual. Experience is right as always.

Still waiting for the ocean to rise even one cm for the last 30 years...cause it hasn't on my coastline.

Has on mine.
Bummed me out last month. I usually enjoy my evening cocktail by my sea wall. Not so much when the water is eating my property.

Highest tide I've seen in the twenty years I've been here. A full 11" higher than the tide chart predicted. Is it due to warming? I don't know, for positive. But it bummed me out.

The world was hotter in the middle ages tho

Europe was warm.
But not warmer than now.

These rises in oceans are not global though are they ?

You may be experiencing higher tides but that is not a global phenomenon is it ?

The tides are not higher than usual here either and I have that on good authority from people whom have lived around here for more than 60 years .

Like I said, I don't know if its due to warming. Like I said, I've had my home on the bay for 20 years. Highest high (and highest low) tide I've seen here.

I do know that it is a fallacy to think that sea level change must be uniform.

What I think is that I'm seeing a spike in a trend. Maybe (I hope) these high high tides I've been seeing for a couple of years will subside a bit. What I expect is that the spike will be greater, next time.

I thought I read that it was warmer
But my point is we are not the one that makes the earth warmer

I live in North Idaho. We are choking on smoke from all the fires. We had a wet winter and spring, didn't seem to help.

Live in british columbia the land of forest fires. Global warming does not cause forest fires. Build up of underbrush, and other dead fall provides fuel for forest fires. Heat combined with storms/idiot humans wala forest fires.

Damage to ecosystem contributes to fires by introducing or removing species to a sensitive system. For i stance mild winters 6 years ago, pine beetle boom. Start of the worst fire seasons in the last 15 years. Reintroduction of wolves in areas less small herbivores to eat low level foilage that dries up and helps fuel fires. Bad storms, ice and extreme snow fall this winter, killed and pulled treea and or branches down which became fuel for the fires.

Im not saying we dont contribute, we absolutely do. How ever what you are witnessing is nature at work. We damage the forest more by being careless campers, or by overhunting. Not our carbon emissions...

A wet mild winter does not prevent forest fires. A harsh cold winter with lots of snow does not prevent forest fires. Trees, and other woody plants die and build up over time for a variety of reasons... this is part of the reason you have forest fires. Campers, smokers, broken glass, lightning strikes and arsonists cause forest fires.

With more water from the melted ice caps and land based glaciers, flood will increase. But, also rain and dew point will increase along with heavier snows at elevation. The big problem is when we see the water rise causing ocean waves to be less affected by underwater mountains. And if indeed the magnetosphere is weakening, thunderstorm and hurricane height and intensity will go off the scale. Pray now.
