  1. Al Gore said the seas would rise and New York would be underwater by the year 2000. That was wrong and this is just a maybe, it’s possible. So could your bank account have an additional million in the morning as well

  2. Yap, we heard these fear-mongering predictions many many times before. In the meantime, the elites keep buying beachfront houses including former President Obama himself just recently–do they know something this ‘expert’ doesn’t know?

  3. Last time I checked the banks weren’t in the business of losing money. If this was accurate, Global Central Banks would stop lending money for coastal property mortgages amortized over 30 years and land development projects would be halted indefinitely. Governments would be tendering construction contracts or ordering their military’s to build coastal levies and enact land protection laws.

  4. More fear mongering for global warming climate change climate emergency and chicken little . Time to buy property and live in the far east . What a crock

  5. If you believed Al Gore many of the larger coastal cities should have been under water by 2019. This is just more B.S. computer modeling, and there is little doubt it will be wrong again.

  6. Please stop beating this dead horse already, isnt the water supposed to be at the statue of liberties elbow by now
