[QUOTE="CaryP, post: 6079, member: 34"] [b]Some thoughts on Peak Oil[/b] This may be a little off topic, but it relates to Peak Oil. The polar ice caps are melting at an alarming rate and this rate has been accelerating. The article posted here talks about the findings of British scientists who predict that New York, London and New Orleans will be the first major cities to become submerged. Carbon dioxide levels are higher than they've been for 55m years (I don't know if the "m" stands for 1,000 - Greek symbol for the number - or 1,000,000 years). As the ice caps melt, temperatures in some parts of the world will go up, requiring more energy. Other parts of the world, northern Europe in particular, will experience falling temperatures. I've read other analysis that predicts the British Isles and most of the Scandinavian countries will become mostly uninhabitable because of the cold. The Gulf Stream, which keeps the UK warmer than it would normally be is already getting short ciruited with all of the fresh water coming from melting glaciers. (Salt water is heavier than fresh water, and tends to fall underneath fresh water when mixed.) According to the article, once the ice caps in Greenland melt, the sea level will rise by 6 to 7 metres. Once Antartica melts away, sea levels will rise another 110 metres. That would definitely swamp low lying, coastal cities. I believe New Orleans is 6 feet below sea level, with a complex system of levies holding back the water. Anyway, I go on.
