Doesn't link one study, doesn't mention one reference, or have a single footnote. Sorry if I don't take that link at all seriously. Who are the scientists and what research are they referencing? I can't find a single reference that backs that up from a reputable source.

If there were a serious study showing that the sea levels were going to rise 20 feet within maybe 3 years it would be all over the news, regardless of the slant of the MSM, that's just too juicy to pass up.

"That does not mean the researchers are predicting a 20-foot ocean rise by the end of this century; more like a couple of feet, they think. But such a warming is expected to accelerate melting of the polar ice and could lead to considerable additional sea-level rise, they said."

"Computer models indicate that warming could raise the average temperature in parts of Greenland above freezing for multiple months and could have a substantial impact on melting of the polar ice sheets, says a second paper by researchers led by Bette Otto-Bliesner of the National Center for Atmospheric Research. Melting could raise sea level one to three feet over the next 100 to 150 years, she said. "

"A study published Friday in Science magazine finds that the Greenland ice sheet is shrinking faster than researchers had previously thought. The runoff from just this one part of the Earth could raise sea levels around the world by a quarter of an inch per decade. "
