Re: Another tiresome fingers-in-the-ears tirade
Yup, I read it three or four times and came to the conclusion that the operative word in the block quote is "could", and then it depends on your interpretation. The scientists *may* be saying that the rate of slide will slow and that even so there is still a chance that the 4 inch lower limit of rise may still be breached. In that case they may also be saying that less than 4 inches is also possible.
Either way, it's a hell of a lot less than Al Gore or Greenpeace have been regularly touting.
I think that 10 years data is not enough to form a definitive conclusion, though it is interesting.
