Rise in Sea Level Can't Be Stopped.

* Deep emissions cuts can help slow rise
By Nina Chestney
LONDON, July 1 (Reuters) - Rising sea levels cannot be stopped over the next several hundred years, even if deep emissions cuts lower global average temperatures, but they can be slowed down, climate scientists said in a study on Sunday.
After a lot of "if" this and "if that happens they come to the Earth shaking conclusion that...
"The scientists calculated that if only the weakest emissions cuts were made, temperatures could rise to 3.91 degrees Celsius in 2100 and the sea level rise could increase to 32.3cm, increasing to 139.4cm by 2300."
So the bottom line is that even if we don't do anything much the sea level would only rise by 4 feet by 2300. So we have 300 years to construct a 4 foot levy around our low-lying cities. But of course the better option is to force the whole world to go back to living in caves and fighting over potatoes by 2020 to help "save the planet" from a 4 foot rise by 2300.

Unmanned Cockroach Pursuit Vehicle
That stands for Unmanned Cockroach Pursuit Vehicle. This site explains more about it.

And we should build one of these too, I know we have the spare parts:
