Interesting! Not good for raising the price of oil. Looks like the Empire needs to get another war going in the ME.

Pass the popcorn.

Russia and China drew the line with Iran, the Neocons were itching to invade Iran. So not happening for the Empire Mak.

“This post points out that Margaret Davidson [NOAA] indicated, in accord with Hansen et al. (2015,2016) that ‘sea levels could rise by roughly 3 meters or 9 feet by 2050-2060’.

Let’s read between the lines: 2016 – 2050 is 34 years.

Remembering that the danger to seaports begins at about 3ft or 1m of SLR, which is her 9 divided by three, let’s extrapolate.

In a linear formula the new numbers would mean dividing 34 years by three (11.3 years).

Thus, the dangerous 3ft or 1m would hit world seaports in 11.3 years from now (2016 + 11.3).

That would mean world seaports begin failing circa the year 2027.”

What are we going to do when the seaports can no longer offload big poison (Will This Float Your Boat – 12)?

Onlooker, there are other ME countries not yet involved in a war. At least not directly, and the Empire is moving boots back into Iraq as we type, prepping for for round two. Also it seems they are moving boots into Syria which could start a real hot war there.

The Empire is dying and it is typical for dying empires to get a really hot war going to cover it’s death throes. The race is on between that and the total collapse of the American economy which could/should end any more military ‘adventurism’. I hope the economy crashes, before the hot one begins as there will be no winners, only radioactive cities and ash.

Your right about this Mak. “I hope the economy crashes, before the hot one begins as there will be no winners, only radioactive cities and ash.

Allot of GW is baked in. The idea of sea level rise is not if, but when. I guess we are living with are heads in the sand. Rome is burning. We are the soulful lute players.
Sad fact is that isis cant possibly do in 30 years what we have baked in. The ports will sink, many cities will have their ‘atlantis’ zones, some will drown outright. If we are still burning oil when that happens forget it, its over.
Fiat currency and fear of collapse will see us through the initial stages, but when are most intense engineering projects are defeated by ever rising seas, then collapse will have to happen.

Kenz,

Lol at oil being evil. So is sugar and alcohol. If you really want to effect change lobby for regulation charges for the harm the product causes. Keep in mind there is global competition to supply these products.
Food exports help feed the world or just enable a larger world population. So are farmers now evil?

GregT on Sat, 16th Apr 2016 4:37 pm 



Boat,

Sugar. alcohol, and farmers, are not causing irreversible damage to the Earth’s natural ecosystems, threatening not only our very own survival, but the survival of all life as we know it on this planet.

As usual Kevin, you are totally out of touch with reality, and continue to display a complete lack of intelligence.

John Orr on Sat, 16th Apr 2016 5:14 pm 



Greg t is an idiot….I agree with boat….there are 4+ things that cause more deaths now and into the future than short or a nucular war….sugar, salt, cocaine, alcohol….just look at the shape of todays population and those kids coming behind…..there is no way society can cope with the coming cost, stress on family, stress on caters lifting heavy clients and early death rates….this is a real war….

John Orr on Sat, 16th Apr 2016 5:17 pm 



Should be carers not caters

onlooker on Sat, 16th Apr 2016 5:23 pm 



John, you cannot be serious. This obsession with sugar, salt, cocaine, alcohol and such while a big problem is hardly threatening the extinction of humans or other life. OIL IS. We who know what is really going on are not going to let ignorant observations like yours or Boats go unanswered.

John Orr on Sat, 16th Apr 2016 5:29 pm 



Onlooker I trust your not just as blind to what is happening beside u today/now, in ur neighbourhood, in ur schools ….probably in ur family….u are so looking too far ahead it’s not real

GregT on Sat, 16th Apr 2016 5:41 pm 



People have survived, and flourished on this planet, for at least tens of thousands of years with sugar, salt, cocaine, and alcohol. Less than 200 years of intense fossil fuel usage has already caused immense damage to the Earth’s natural ecosystems, both directly and indirectly. A couple more decades of this stupidity, and all future life on this planet will face extremely dire circumstances, if we don’t cause our own extinction first.

The war on drugs, just like the war on terror, is a distraction aimed at dumbing down the stupid masses. You are a prime example of one of them, John Orr. It would appear that both yourself and Kevin (Boat), are among those with far lower than average intelligence.

GregT on Sat, 16th Apr 2016 5:52 pm 



John Orr,

Your grammar, punctuation, and spelling are oddly similar to Boat’s. Did you both go to the same school? Did you both flunk out at the same grade school level? Or are you both the one, and the same fucking idiot?

John Orr on Sat, 16th Apr 2016 5:57 pm 



Greg-t just as I thought u are so stupid, who has said sugar and salt were drugs?…it’s the same problem as oil, it’s not the product, it’s the use of the product stupid….
Look at today’s problems, I know I would not have liked to have lived 100 years ago never mind 500+ years ago….obviously u have no idea how hard it was to live in those times…ur right about stupid “masses”, those are the people carrying lard while they try and walk to an early grave regardless of ur blinkered view of oil

onlooker on Sat, 16th Apr 2016 6:14 pm 



You just proved our point John. It is the use of the products like sugar, salt etc. As Greg said they have been around a long time without being abused like they are now. As for OIL, your right we in rich countries have benefited in our personal lives but a what expense. At the expense of the FUTURE. You say you would not have liked to live in the past, well that is how many feel and that is exactly the problem with OIL, it was never going to be used in a different way than it has been used. It gave many people comforts and luxuries than most people throughout our history never enjoyed. Hooray for us, too bad for future generations. Some of us actually do care about the future and thus wished things would have been different.

makati1 on Sat, 16th Apr 2016 6:16 pm 



John, you apparently have no idea how the world works. Are you out of grade school? I suggest you take a few courses in ecology, history, physics and psychology if you can actually find a school or college that still teaches them.

Humans on drugs, or those other food stuffs, are NOT killing the planet, oil is. We are heating it up like turning on the oven in your house and closing the windows and doors on an already hot day. And, we are going to pay the price. ALL of us.

John Orr on Sat, 16th Apr 2016 6:23 pm 



Come on now…if u had stuck with coal u would not be able to see 20 feet outside ur door…let me know when u give up ur benefits and how ur going to exactly stop 3rd world people wanting the same luxuries u have

GregT on Sat, 16th Apr 2016 6:25 pm 



I have my Great Grandfather’s diary John. He homesteaded in Alberta Canada starting in the late 1800s. He lived a healthy and prosperous life, both physically and spiritually. He passed at the age of 98. Three weeks before his internal organs shut down he was still working his half acre garden plot by hand, by himself. He ate sugar and salt all of his life, and had at least one glass of homemade wine a day, he also smoked pipe tobacco starting from when he was in his early teens. His life may have been harder than ours, but he died a satisfied man.

John Orr on Sat, 16th Apr 2016 6:35 pm 



That’s a good diary to be proud off, unfortunately many ancestors don’t keep records of the past like that….Bet he wasn’t fat…

makati1 on Sat, 16th Apr 2016 6:40 pm 



GregT, John is blind to anything but his view of the world. Perhaps in my comment, I should have said hydrocarbons in stead of oil, but I thought he would understand that was what I meant.

I grew up when the use of coal was about all we had for heat and electric production. But the pollution was viable and already methods were being devised to control the affluent.

I’m putting Jon on my probation list of future ignores if he doesn’t start to open up his thinking. Soon that list will be so long, I will have to ignore most on here. Too bad. Debate is good, but should be supported by references occasionally. Opinion is also good, if they do not claim it as fact.

makati1 on Sat, 16th Apr 2016 6:41 pm 



lol… need another cup of coffee…

“..pollution was ‘visible’…”

GregT on Sat, 16th Apr 2016 6:45 pm 



He was 6’2″, and fit as a fiddle when he died. The story of his life is amazing. Nothing like the mundane rat-race of a life that most of us live in the west today. He experienced life to it’s fullest. He was a great man.

John Orr on Sat, 16th Apr 2016 6:52 pm 



Makati1…why are u worth communicating with, u can’t even make ur mind up on ur logo or did ur grade school teacher put the red pen mark…

GregT on Sat, 16th Apr 2016 6:58 pm 



John,

At least Makati can string enough words together to form a complete sentence. Something that you obviously are not intelligent enough to do, even at the level of most 12 year olds.

John Orr on Sat, 16th Apr 2016 7:05 pm 



I’m off to bed…if hard times come again in the not to distant future of oil as a lot of u say…well at least I it won’t be the rat race of today so who ever survives will all have a great experience of life to the fullest again…
PS…despite disagreements I wish I had a diary like Gt to read…night night

If you can not provide for yourself, you can not provide for a child. Having a child you can not provide for is cruel.

Dooma on Sun, 17th Apr 2016 9:50 am 



Boat and Orr (SIC) now I see the connection….

Sorry Greg, bad pun time again.

Dooma on Sun, 17th Apr 2016 9:56 am 



Totally agree Kenz. It has been said many a time, you need a license to drive a car but any clown can spit out a gaggle of kids without thinking of the consequences.

In fact, people do it in my country because of our generous welfare system. Have 3 kids and you never have to lift a finger again!

Rick Bronson on Sun, 17th Apr 2016 6:49 pm 



Wow, they are able to raise the production so fast from 2 million b/d to 3.5 million b/d.

Only after increasing their production to 4 million b/d, they will come to the table to negotiate.

Probably the only useful thing the White House Negro has ever done is to have acknowledged Iran’s place in the world instead of antagonizing it.  The D.C. sociopaths might actually be learning that they are playing with fire by continuing to turn the Middle East upside down.  Afghanistan is a lost cause.  Its population consists of two types:  the utterly corrupt and the fanatics.  Pouring more $trillions down that rathole will only build up more mansions in Dubai (and send more U.S. soldiers home in body bags).  Selling more weapons to Saudi headchoppers will antagonize every Yemeni the royals are unable to kill.  Yankeedom has turned Iraq and Syria into a horror show.  (But maybe the Big Burrhead thinks that is a plus, since the resulting refugee crisis is now fatally poisoning Europe with lower life forms.)  And, of course, the American demigods conveniently forget the fact that back in 1953 they destroyed the only democracy that Iran has ever had.  To be sure, it would be politically incorrect to mention Hotflash Clitory’s proxy murder of our ambassador in Benghazi, Libya, and the current consequences in that country of her celebrated “competence.”

Apparently no one near the throne room wishes to see where all of this is leading.  The preferred approach is to explain everything to the boobs in moral terms, since Christianity and White Guilt are such handy tools.  And to continue BAU at all costs.

At least Iran now has a chance to rebuild its economy with the help of oil sales.  Until the monarchy on the Potomac has another bowel movement and decides to reimpose sanctions.
