"obama promised to slow the rise of the oceans... and heal the planet"
"my promise to you is to help you and your family"
it's a question of priorities
So are you saying that Mitt Romney doesn't care about our slow drowning death as long as he can make some money? I guess if florida sinks he won't have to worry about losing it.
Here comes the pseudo-science again.
Where will all that extra water come from to sink Florida. The people that know this sort of thing say the Himalaya glacies are growning.

That was funny. I mean -- you aren't serious?
I'm totally serious and I'm glad you found humor.

I was afraid of that. Here's a hint:
Wonderful. Let's do a little math here ...
1. What is the volume of melted Greenland ice that would raise the oceans of the world 1 inch?

WOW! That's amazing, isn't it?Well, you were pretty close. One inch.... Actually, if Greenland's ice sheet melted entirely it would raise sea levels by 23.6 FEET. So you were only off by about 30,000%.

How does he plan to accomplish that? It sounds a lot like the Bible story of Jesus on in the midst of the storm saying, "peace, be still." Somehow, I doubt words are going to accomplish much. and now, we're off and running on yet another global warming debate. Isn't happening! Is too! Is not! Geez, guys, you can't refute every scientific organization on Earth by posting on an internet forum. and, it really doesn't matter anyway. No one is going to stop the rise of the oceans, the change of climates, or that runaway express train.

Yeah, where will Santa live????Nice picture. Your mother will be proud of your posing.
Here's something to think about while your head is otherwise unoccupied ... If the Greenland icecap melts ... where will the poles be located?
I suppose most of them will be in Poland.Nice picture. Your mother will be proud of your posing.

Nice way to dodge a question. Question #3 was what is the elevation of Florida?

No offense, but your base premise was off by 30,000%, and there is no single elevation for Florida. But I can tell you that the elevation of my house in Florida is about 11' above sea level, so if the Greenland ice sheet melted, that would put my house under about 15' of water.
True north is a fixed point on the earths axis. The magnetic north is constantly shifting which has something to do with earth's molten iron core and the spin of the earth. Is that what you mean?None taken. However, my premise was not the 1 inch.
The numbers you use I can only assume are correct ... if all the cap melts. If all the cap melts ... where are the poles? Does the Earth spin on a new axis?

I'll be the first to say it...
If the choice is fixing our country (and its economy) vs. shelling out money in the name of "global warming," I don't give a fig about the latter. Once problem #1 is fixed, then they can go piddle away their time with problem #2.

In my view, our piddling economic worries will be a barely remembered footnote in 50 and 100 years when our descendants are suffering mightily for our irresponsible stewardship of the environment.
