You know, turning a pit topic into the never ending argument over climate change will be the death of it. Just like what happens to EVERY OTHER GLOBAL WARMING TOPIC! Then where will people bitch about how much they hate global warming? What then? > [@Fukkin Facist Florida Firearm Fanatics](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fukkin-facist-florida-firearm-fanatics/581066/5): > > It’s one of the few positives of global warming: when sea level rises enough, eventually Florida will disappear. Oh haha you Florida hater you. Guess what? 20,000 years ago, when the great ice age ice sheets were melting away, the sea level was 120 meters lower than now. That’s like 393.701 feet lower than now. So most of Florida is already underwater. Yeah, that’s right. But guess what else? Between 4 to 6 thousand years ago (B.P.) the sea level was 3 meters higher than now. And Florida was still there. In fact, the raised beaches (from the higher sea level) worldwide are there in Florida. (the raised beaches are a main reason why we scientists know the sea level was higher) So even if the sea level rose 3 meters Florida will still be there. Going to fuck up the real estate pretty bad. But the ocean would have to rise like 30 meters to rid the world of Florida. Goddamn it global warming, get to work. We are going to need to melt all of Greenland to destroy Florida. And that hasn’t happened in millions of years. But you can do it. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-sick-of-this-global-warming/666440)._
