Why don't you understand that when your plastic is taken away and then flooded, then, you are doomed?

Because the salt content will dehydrate you. And severe dehydration could kill you especially if you are out at sea and medical treatment is not nearby.

I dont know..i have a hard time with giving billions of dollars to a city where people chose to live below sea level and that will likely flood again in the future.  Many of New Orleans residence have found homes elsewhere and will not be returning. The ones that do should have insurance, right?  Why should we pay for them to rebuild?

Because in "ye olden times" stuff got chucked into open sewers, including dead animals. When it rained hard, it all got washed out.

It might make people think it is prone to flooding.

If it was plugged in and/or turned on during the flood then its likely that your printer is fried.

This is such a good question. I've asked my self this question why do this, but the only answer i got is because we are so stupid. We end up losing more than any body else. We lose money and the people that die. For what for them to get there homes rebuild.

When in doubt, throw it out! Better safe than sorry!

It cant go bad as it is a compound (propane usually) which needs to have a chemical reaction in order to change its properties. In saying this the tank could be "bad" in which case the gas could have escaped and has emptied the tank. Once the gas has all leaked out to equalise the pressure from outside to inside the tank the gas could then mix with normal air and eventually mix so much that there is basically only normal air left.

It depletes your body of water - it dehydrates you.

Dear Sir:\n\nYes, you have all the facts correct in your mind...\n\nWhat I see that you haven't got a good grip on is the \nsize of the problem.\n\nThe glaciers that the scientists are talking about extend for hundreds and hundreds of miles, and they are solid ice. They are presently sitting on solid ground and moving towards the water in a slow march, maybe 5 feet per day. These huge masses of ice are hundreds of feet high. So, the water they contain is just a massive amount of liquid when it melts. The terms gallons or liters is not applied to liquid in that huge of a mass. Terms like cubic miles is probably more appropriate. So when you talk about adding 2,000,000 cubic miles of water to the seas, some real changes in water level will probably result.\n\nIn the USA, a lot of homes and businesses are located at places where the elevation above the current sea level marks are only 1 to 3 feet.  High winds or storm surges could endanger places even higher up than that. In the area around New Orleans, La., the city is actually below sea level and is dry only because of a huge system of dikes that actually failed in a recent hurricane. As a result the city of New Orleans and much of the surrounding towns went under water.  Rebuilding, Clean-up, and repopulation could only begin after the waters receeded to their normal levels and the dikes were repaired, pumps placed back into service to clear out water behind the dikes, etc. \n\nWhat the scientists are suggesting is that in the future these flood waters might not receed...they will just stay there, and the flooded areas will stay flooded from now on...WOW.  That is a doozie to think about.

Also if there is a landslide say beside a damn... then a flood could happen , if the dam is takn out with the land slide.. then all the water held back by the dam will be released resulting in a flood.

the whole earth is going to be flooded

You could be retaining water.
