MorningStar will be feckin ragin if your right, after all the 'advice' he has given us boardsters NOT to move out of Dublin, only yo have the whole feckin county submerged in water!

I am pretty sure that such an event may effect house prices in Dublin, and could possibly see house prices outside of Dublin increase in value.......

I knew a move to Offally would make sense eventually!

Well whatever it is, it can hardly make it worse.

At least we might have a National Aquatic Centre that doesnt leak then

I wonder what will also happen to the Port Tunnel, With the way that thing is leaking right now I guess it will be submerged. I wonder how will Joseph Goebbels...cough Michael McDowell & Co. react? Let me guess, Blame it on the IRA? Or perhaps the emissions of Methane & other hot-air from the Government since they came to power in 97, I heard emissions were up alright.:D That has to be it.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide has in the past been self regulating when there werenet millions of tons of additional carbon dioxide been artificially pumped into the atmosphere, we are in no position to claim that it will continue to be in the future given this change and those who are are too busy cashing their cheques from the oil companys.

Anyway your main worry is the wars that will ensue once the environment starts to goto hell - thats what the human race might not survive.

Actually, you are wholly wrong there. The evidence from geologists is that there is substantially less CO2 being released into the atmosphere now than there was prehistorically. Remember that although science is no doubt a useful study, it is new, and by nature, it is incomplete. The worry about the changing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is an overreaction to a natural phenomenon. Historical levels of the same gases show that we really have little to worry about in this regard.

Now, don't get me wrong, I don't believe for a second that we are not polluting our planet. Au contraire, I think that the damage we are doing to our environment is at a level that might make the planet retaliate in a manner that we will find extremely hostile. However, I don't think that global warming is an issue for the planet in the way that you, somewhat erringly do.

There is more chance of another Ice age than there is of a water-world.

There's plans to build a sea wall across Dublin bay, with a motorway on top. I read it about a year ago in the INDO.

No no, you have it all wrong, look what you are paying today for a house with a swimming pool. Now imagine ho high prices will be if you have a house in a swimming pool:)
