So far there is no evidence for a generic rise in sea level or more floods
than the norm. I can easily imagine that you might believe this is not the
case however, given the hysterical news headlines that associate GW with
every single report of weather outside the 'norm'. A couple of examples;
...Boscastle, it only took a day before I heard someone on the news mention
it in connection with GW...had they not heard of Lynton and Lynmouth in the
50's? And how did they think all those valleys got there in the first place?
...recent floods in Bangladesh, GW blamed, yet they were only of the scale
that happens every 10-20 years.

So - are there any effects of GW? Are there likely to be? Are you saying
that it is happening but not a problem, or that it isn't happening?

My original question was is it self limiting, in that it will decrease
the number of humans who are the driving force, or, once started, is it
unstoppable? The exact mechanism by which the number of humans is
reduced is not important to that question. But if you are saying that
there won't be any ill effects on humans, then that makes the question
a nonsense.
