Gents:
I can't opine on the anthropomorphic angle of global warming. I do think Michael Mann faked his data, i.e. the 'hockey stick' was fudged by cherry-picking tree-ring supported data, and the emails from the Climactic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia are troubling to those whom may suspect that voodoo has once again asserted itself into the minds of humans. IPCC report said that there has been no data-supported warming for 16 years.
So here's the arithmetic problem when it comes to the above stated issue regarding; "Warming of the oceans and rising sea levels"
Big numbers about the overall potential increase in the height of ocean levels have been trotted out, so let's start small.
Lets' consider the arithmetic of a simple 1 foot, yes 12" rise in the ocean level globally. That's approximately 30 cm for those of us who think in SI.
Now, I've done this parlor math for over a decade, and I'm bored of throwing it all on a silver platter just to be spat at by those who either believe in voodoo, are lazy, or have invested in GE and Samsung wind turbines.
Here are the steps, give yourself a break and work it out for yourselves:
1) Go to a World Atlas site and get the number(s) representing the total square miles, or square kilometers of the world's surface currently covered by water.
2) Given that number of the surface area of exposed water on earth, assume either a 1 foot depth, or a 30 cm depth, according to your pleasure.
3) Use a scientific calculator to give the the cubed root of that number; that gives you a big square block of water, or ice
4) Now, and this is the really hard part: convert the length of your cube into feet, meters, yards, miles, or kilometers according to your pleasure.
5) Have you now noticed what a huge f*****g block of water/ice that is, or have you calculated how far into space it reaches? (yeah, i didn't account for the fact that water, unlike many other elements, expands when it gets cold,,,,, BT&DT!!!! )
6) last step, ask yourself seriously, "Where is all that ice currently residing?" or, how much of the world's current ice reserves would have to melt to make Al gore's doomsday predictions come true?
If you've suffered to do the arithmetic, then you've begun to realize that it is hard to find ice reservoirs around the globe large enough to contain all that ice today. Even if you consider Antarctica or the North Pole's ice cap.
Now, some people have seriously talked about sea levels rising 10 feet or more, that's 30 deci-meters, or that's 3 meters for those of us that think in SI.
Is that kind of melt-off possible within the next 4 years, as Al Gore said about 6 years ago?
I don't know, I think that kind of melt off would leave just enough ice in Green Land to chill a martini.
Anyways gents, don't take my word for it, I've shown you the method, plug in your own numbers and make your own decisions. We know the polar caps were once huge, and that glaciers extended past Pennsylvania.
No, I'm not buying property in Venice, New York, or Holland.
Yeah, this is a metal trading site, and yeah, I like gold and silver. I don't like BitCoin, uranium, oil, or GM, and I don't like GE or Samsung.
I like DCA for small investor guys like myself. I like the the fact that silver is trading very inexpensively, right now. It is also trading at an historically huge spread vis-a-vis gold, around 61 : 1.
My associate Ranbotrader points out that population and industrialization are on the increase, and he is absolutely correct on both counts. Silver production is decreasing however, as demand for the metal, both by the population, and by industry, are increasing.
The mantra is 'buy low, sell high", but only a few ever do.
Forget global warming, climate change, GE, Samsung, Bitcoin. Buy some gold or silver at 'low' prices dear gents, and don't get whip sawed by margin, short trading, day trading, Bitcoins, etc. Buy some metal while it is cheap. Forget the fancy collector coins, buy bullion.
DCA, All The Way!
