 Hysteria surrounding Global Warming continues to grow. Scientific theories project a severe rise in ocean water engulfing the East Coast of the U.S. as well as other regions around the world as the polar ice caps continue to melt.Average air temperature near Earth's surface rose 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.3 ± 0.32 °F) during the last century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes, "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations," which leads to warming of the surface and lower atmosphere by increasing the greenhouse effect. An increase in global temperatures can in turn cause other changes including a flooding of coastal cities. Global Warming theorists continue to stress that it is not a matter of what, but more of where and when the devouring will occur. As the scientific community and public continue to make predictions, BetUS.com has posted odds on which specific East Coast location will be swimming in the Atlantic. “There’s probably an increase of swimming lessons on the East Coast right now,” said Betus.com Spokesman Reed Richards. “Flippers, scuba gear and floats are about to be going on sale, or maybe that’s because spring is almost here, in late April.” Analysts at BetUS.com posted the following odds on any East Coast Area sinking due to Global Warming: Will any of the following occur because of Global Warming? Before 12/31/11, will Manhattan become under water: 100/1 Before 12/31/11, will Florida become under: 10/1 By 2015, Cape Cod is submerged: 150/1 By 2015, Cape Hatteras is submerged: 300/1 By 2015, Cape Canaveral is submerged: 100/1 By 2015, Cape Henry is submerged: 200/1 By 2015, Cape May is submerged: 200/1                        |
