Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

I've yet to see "wanting humans to die" as a common thread among the hard core greens.  And I don't think I'd come close to fitting into that group.

The conclusions presented are also classic hand waving.  Pretty hopeful assertion that having the northern icecap melt away will have no effect anywhere else.  Or that one year's data mean anything.  But hey, why let a rational analysis derail an agenda..

It seems you haven't bothered to look at the IPCC report summary. The total sealevel increase that can be expected from the arctic icecaps melting (only most of which are floating) is 0.45 meters. That's the same as the increase from all glaciers everywhere melting. And it pales in comparison from Greenland melting.

You know HiD, rational analysis usually depends on some set of facts. As opposed to fears.
