. . . so is the entire actual Jersey shore. A Princeton study has found that global warming is causing a rise in sea levels that is far greater and more accelerated than previously thought. The report predicts that the Jersey shore could be underwater in a matter of decades and low-lying areas thrashed by increasing storm surges.
The study of Princeton-based research group Climate Central forecasts an increase of three to four feet in water levels and that the danger of massive killer storms will double by 2030. On their site, you can pick an area to look at the potential damage.
Even if half of this rise in sea levels is realized, it would produce widespread damage within our lifetime. It will be interesting to watch those people denying this environmental trend swim out of that problem.
As for that more painful reality, my greatest concern is that Jersey Shore will then combine with Waterworld in a terrifying mutation that will lead millions to throw themselves into the sea to make it stop.

Dredd,
I was just listening to my hero jimmy Morrisons long XXX version of Gloria…… It’s about 9 minutes…… Maybe some here have had similar experiences and just didn’t return all at once……

tell that to blouise, she appreciates things like that.
=========================================
Yeah, I am obviously really trying hard to be appreciated here …
“… things like that …”
I am beginning to think you have had experience using satellites … anyway, you are still cool 707 …

Dredd,
If you confuse with factual facts are you not worried that you will have contributed to the self deluded organic brain malfunction? Some don’t have far to wonder and get lost in that space….. But remember not all who wonder are lost…..they just can’t recall how they got there…..
===================================================
I knew you were an artist! 😉

Arctic ice extent …
================================
When you check in to that community college thingy I mentioned earlier, 😉 ask them first thing about order … of magnitude … like the difference between squared and cubed.
The cubic quantity of ice is an order of magnitude greater than the square footage of ice one can see in a photo, a.k.a. “extent”.
The cubic volume of ice, the gallons of water that ice would produce, are the values you would learn in that class (it is free to veterans).
The number of gallons of water the Arctic and the Antarctic would produce if melted before your bloodshot eyes is decreasing as the ice melts and becomes gallons in the sea.
Mike S … gonna do that pro bono for Bbaman? … 😉

you are grim … Some good shit you produce. Impressive. capisco. Got to sleep now. it’s soon 2am

Just wanted you to understand the bitwise c operators I was typing in … but the HTML interpreter on Turley Blog (WordPress?) was not handling properly. (“we don’t do no stinkin’ bitwise operators in this HTML interpreter baby!”
Kids.
cheers idealist707.
Arctic ice extent is the highest in the DMI record for the date, and is about 10% higher than 2007. It is impossible for it to be nearly ice free by summer of 2012

December 12, 2007
An already relentless melting of the Arctic greatly accelerated this summer—a sign that some scientists worry could mean global warming has passed an ominous tipping point.
One scientist even speculated that summer sea ice could be gone in five years.
Just last year two top scientists surprised their colleagues by projecting that the Arctic sea ice was melting so rapidly that it could disappear entirely by the summer of 2040.
This week, after reviewing his own new data, NASA climate scientist Jay Zwally said: “At this rate, the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice-free at the end of summer by 2012, much faster than previous predictions.”

Dredd.
you are grim. i lost my survival cherry when the heat death of thermodynamics was explained to me at fourteen years.
and however or whoever explains it, we do have a problem for folks to handle this constant death threat.
perhaps it is the ultimate challenge carried by education and the world network, who everybody is coupled into now.
Death visits the house next to ours everyday, whether it is here or farther away. We try to shield ourselves, but media thrives and we are drawn like moths to the candle flame.
Some good shit you produce. Impressive.
capisco.
Got to sleep now. it’s soon 2am
CUL.
Dredd you believe in entirely too much of what you read man.
I wish the best for you.
Dredd,
Hexadecimal panel programming direct on the computer while paused,
my bit is greater than yours. I know position counts. But that’s true in decimal and other foots. and we’ve got random memory assignment, memory protection as to use, hardwired level precedence versus stack, microsecond interrupt handling.etc.
Met an indian games programmer in a vietnam restaurant at lunch.
he understood and said he had 40 microseconds to handle his routines just now.
Whaddaya say.

Dredd the more I read your ramblings the more whacked out you become.
Where the ^%$# do you get the ability to determine that based on comments in a comment section,
The reason is that people, including Bdaman, FEAR DEATH,
You are whacked out man.
========================
I get it from world renowned scientists:
(Convergence – Fear of Death Syndrome). Any questions Bdaman of fear?
I mean, which of my comments pointing out your psychopathology and where you got it do you not yet understand?
Never mind, psychopaths do not reason, they fear in what they think are very cool ways.
ok, in english
I typed “x less-than-sign less-than-sign y or x greater-than-sign greater-than-sign y”
In other words the c bit shifting operator (two signs shift the opposite way.
It ignores the quotes …
I typed “x < > y” (spaces added) …
that was wierd …
I typed “x <> y” but it put out “x y” …
computers are evolving?
look out Idealist707 …

…. why don’t they do as we computer people do—-put the zero before one, not after nine???? … Admire your equations
=======================================
There is no nine.
It goes bit 0 through bit 7 (a byte)
then it goes high bit low bit
which is high and which is low depends on
the company … i.e. big endian or little endian
in which case one shifts the bits x <> y
capice?
love ya idealist707 😉
BDAMAN
you are boring down. hang loose instead, you’re losing your readership and your legibility.
idealist707 1, March 16, 2012 at 7:43 pm

Admire your equations but must say it should have 3 quantities.
X= input from sun.
Y= emission from earth
Z= retention due to different factors, such as gas effects, albedo, etc.
and a resulting temp rise or fall.
and of course other factors. but feel absorption/retention should be included.
So take it away professor Dredd.
===========================
x = y – z
