Analogies impress the simple-minded. "There are more stars in the universe than sand grains on the beaches of the world." So what? Do you know how many sand grains are on the beaches? Who cares how much ice has melted, even IF their estimates are right? Is New York swamped yet? Or, like a neurotic, will you break down and fret about some no-name island that has seen some of its beach eroded? Even if the kooks are right, you've got 300 years before anything needs to be done. If cold winters end, and the diseases that come with them that kill 4 million people a year ends, I'd chalk that up as a win.

Yes, NY has already been swamped because of global warming. Billions
of dollars. The next time will be worse. Most of the world's
population lives within a few meters of sea level, most of the great
cities are within a few meters of sea level.

More people are now dying of heat than cold. And that's just going to
get worse.

Be careful you don't fall off the edge of the Earth!
