    Let it melt away to sh*t. I'm fed up of recycling and green energy rubbish anyway and it looks like there will still be plenty of land for us to live peacefully on like we always do.

    As long it as it drowns some people I don't like then I'm ok with losing the house and kids to it.

    I reckon by the time it actually happens, itll be hot enough that a lot of the water will be in the atmosphere, making it very humid.


    Or not...

    The ice has increased in recent years, not decreased. More pseudo-bolloxology. "Ye will die, the ice is coming". Feck off.

    We should build a giant hose that blasts millions of litres of water into outer space

    Will we still be paying water charges even though it will be around our knees?

    I'll be dead, kids, grandkids and great grandkids will all be dead so why should I give a fûck! And Ireland looks largely unaffected! I'll just buy a gaf in the Wicklow mountains. Sorted.

    Frankfurt will be fine. At least from the 31st floor! East Galway isn't looking too bad either if the worst comes to worst.

    Wha? The radiant heat of summer (no sunset remember) is enough to melt ice at the poles. The warmest temp recorded is 15 °C Vanda Station, Scott Coast 5 January 1974

    15° for a brief period during the day presumably.
    Don't think it gets above freezing normally.

    Average summer temps at the South Pole are around the -30c mark as far as I can find out.

    Kind of disappointing for the webbed footed inhabitants of East Galway then!

    What would make it even worse is that Loughrea is designated as the County Town. The local government would meet there. Surrounded by hurls, mayfly and egos. Nothing would get resolved!

    They completely ignored the existence of New Zealand and the Pacific Islands! And it's off an Aussie site! Feckin Aussies! I'll continue to delude myself that my beachside gaff in New Zealand will be grand then.

    East Galway is the worst part of Galway!

    Surprised they haven't flooded themselves already with their half masticated spit-talk
