I have been following her blog for a number of years. She is a true scientist in that she limits claims to what can be proven. She believes adding CO2 to the atmosphere will increase temperatures but does not agree with the specific claims of an increase of x degrees by year Y. Instead she talks about probabilities and possibilities. Her big idea is the concept of uncertainty, for which she has been villified by the true believers. Essentially she thinks there is no definitive way we can conclude the most harmful projections are valid. Her cautious and measured tone does not sit well with the others in her field who believe the sky is falling and we MUST DO SOMETHING NOW OR ALL IS LOST.
Im not a scientist, but I did stay at a holiday Inn last night, and I found an old map of Flordia right around the beginning of the industrial revolution ,So I compared it to see how much flooding the melting polar caps did in the last 150 years of man made global warming.Sarasota’s average elevation — and it is the highest coastal city in southern Florida — is 16 feet. Venice and North Port are at 9.8, Bradenton and Punta Gorda 5.9, Naples and Holmes Beach 2.95.
I checked and they're still there and the coast hasn't changed much either!! After this exhaustive study at the holiday Inn , my studies have concluded that ocean levels haven't risen very much, and Al Gore is full of shit .

This may be the most well reasoned and level-headed post I've ever seen on this site.I have been following her blog for a number of years.

The earth is 4.6 billion years old.
This is what the earth looked like in 1895:

Therefor it always looked like that right? I mean, I certainly see no change with how that looks today.
No.
This is what it looked like ~175 million years ago:

But I agree, the sky is not falling.
The hyperbole on both sides is just grating.
The thing is though, we don't need a "drastic" change to kill us all.I never implied that earth hasn't changed or isn't changing, only that the ocean levels haven't risen very much in the last 150 years . The contention is that the oceans are raising at an alarming rate due the melting of the polar caps .
A quick look at those maps proves there is no drastic change due to man made global warming. Its bunk .
Well, we are still coming out of the latest Ice Age. Once that peaks and we start cooling off again, the bend over grab you ankles and put on another pair of socks.The climate here seems to be getting warmer.

I just don't think we are quote on the path to "we're all gonna die."
Start hoarding 20mm ammo then. .50bmg is a bit underpowered when hunting T-Rex....I'm not worried at all about the sea levels, it's the dinosaur epidemic resulting from AGW that has me concerned.
