There is no evidence that this is occurring, or that London or New York are in any danger of drowning. The IPCC forecasts only 18-59 cm of sea level rise this century, yet the MSM has picked up Hansen’s wildly ridiculous claims of “dead certain multi-metre sea level rise.”
The consensus of scientists say that Hansen’s recycled 110 year old paranoia is incorrect, but the press is only interested in consensus when it supports alarmism.
Yelling fire in a crowded theatre is not acceptable.
