Its all locked in the geological record dating back 4.5B years. Atmospheric CO2 is THE primary driver of temperature, and it has been since the beginning.
You actually know nothing of the sort. There are models that claim this but they are not proven. The were also paid for by people that were not unbiased.

What we do know, is the events you mentioned all happened before man burnt fossil fuels.

Well, they do have a hundred years in which to buy a boat or move to Denver. BTW, where is this 6 feet of water going to come from? Or is the bottom of all the oceans going to rise up 6 feet to raise the sea level?

All the flooding in the Midwest going on now is running to the Gulf. Are all the towns along the Gulf going to b under 6 feet of water next week, or is the level of the Gulf going to rise maybe an inch?

When will all this coastal flooding occur? Next month? Next year? Maybe we should all be buying boats instead of sports cars.

I live in coastal SW Florida now and have been coming here to many of the same locations with fixed boat docks, causways etc. and can tell you that the water is no higher now than it was decades ago. NYC and Miami underwater? Yeah sure. The environmental freaks in this country have latched on to this "Global Warming" BS as a way to force their agenda just as they did with their 2 energy crisis and Ice Age scare a while back. BTW, what ever happened to all of that?
