My first post here and I'm wasting no time by chiming in as a conspiracy-theorist-nut-job, claiming that despite the lies you've been told, we are most likely heading into a mini ice-age blah blah crock crock.
This is a property forum in case you missed that detail on the way in. Take your climate denial propaganda back to where you came from, or did they drive you off.?
Shadow was hopelessly wrong about the Gold Bull Market. What else is he wrong about?
Not this again.we are heading into an iceage. Please stop the tax mantra. now you are agreeing that you get more ice by warming??? Honestly this shit just can not be made up. Peter

It is certainly possible to get more ice coverage through warming if it also causes the winds to blow the ice away from where it forms faster. (so you get a wider area of thinner ice.)
If it causes the average ice area across the whole year to grow, it is even a negative feedback loop because warming causes more ice which causes more reflection which causes cooling.

So i should light a fire in my fridge?? Would it save me on my electric bill??
Fruck me, this was never taught in any science lesson i when to. Peter
Counting the Costs: Climate Change and Coastal Flooding By Lesley Hughes and Will Steffen 17.09.2014 Climate Council Report
SIX KEY FINDINGS
1 Sea level has already risen and continues to rise due to climate change. Climate change exacerbates coastal flooding from a storm surge as the storm rides on higher sea levels. 2 Australia is highly vulnerable to increasing coastal flooding because our cities, towns and critical infrastructure are mainly located on the coast. Australia’s infrastructure has been built for the climate of the 20th century and is unprepared for rising sea level. 3 Coastal flooding is a sleeping giant. If the threat of sea level rise is ignored, the projected increases in economic damage caused by coastal flooding are massive. 4 Rising sea levels pose risks for many of Australia’s species and iconic natural places, such as Kakadu National Park and the Great Barrier Reef. 5 Rising sea level is eroding the viability of coastal communities on islands in the Torres Strait and the Pacific, and in low-lying areas of Asia, increasing the likelihood of migration and resettlement. 6 We need deep and urgent cuts in greenhouse gas emissions this decade and beyond if we are to avoid the most serious risks from rising sea levels and coastal flooding.
And from the report -
Quote:
global-average sea level has risen by 17 cm over the 20th century. the most widely used continuous satellite observations of sea level started in 1992 and provide coverage of the world’s oceans, except near the poles, approximately every 10 days. the broad spatial coverage of satellite observations has been combined with the long duration of tide-gauge measurements to provide long-term regional records of sea-level change commonly called sea-level reconstructions. examples of the global-average sea level derived from these reconstructions are shown in Figure 4 (rhein et al. 2013), which indicates an average rise of about 17 cm (1.7 mm/ yr) over the 20th century. over the past two decades, satellite observations indicate a global-average rate of about 3.2 mm/yr (Pugh and Woodworth 2014). it is not clear at present whether this apparent increase represents a long-term acceleration or simply a manifestation of natural variability. However, using model results, Church et al. (2013a) concluded that ‘the increased rate of rise since 1990 is not part of a natural cycle but a direct response to increased radiative forcing (both anthropogenic and natural), which will continue to grow with ongoing greenhouse gas emissions’.

1 Sea level has already risen and continues to rise due to climate change. Climate change exacerbates coastal flooding from a storm surge as the storm rides on higher sea levels.
And from the report -
Sea level has been raising for centuries at the same rate.Moot. Climate Change - as usual ;-)

What they don't mention is that there has been a background rise in sea levels of 25cm/century (2.5mm/year) for the past 5000 years.
If it goes the other way, it means we are headed for an ice age, which is even worse.

The Holocene will end and the real issue is when and what will be the tipping points. It just may turn out that a sudden CO2 increase may be it as we observe the decoupling of CO2 and temp.
Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
