This presentation by Harold R. Wanless , Ph.D. Professor and Chair, Department of Geological Sciences, University of Miami, was given on 2017.0201We1900 at UU Congregation in Naples, Florida.
The Sea Level Rise we are now experiencing is inevitable, irreversible, faster than anticipated and it is accelerating. The CO2 in the earth’s atmosphere is enough to power more than a 70 foot level of sea rise.
The sea level on the planet Earth normally rises and falls several hundred feet every 100,000 years or so, now we are riding the introduction of CO2 gasses which resulted from the Industrial Revolution.
Wars, which Professor Wanless did not talk about, also increase the introduction and dispersion of many unnecessary and undesirable gasses and chemicals.
