How high will oceans rise? Will it flood coastal cities? When? Should I sell Oceanside Timeshare now or wait?

Would it be a good strategy to buy some land off the coast a little ways in the hopes it will some day shortly become ocean front property? If so, how far back from shore? Of course I am talking about if we have Global Warming and melting polars.

The prediction is the sea level will rise about 3 feet.



"CapNemo" has been going to global warming questions and copying a statement pooh-poohing the threat. His statement is misleading and incorrect.

He says it’s only increased by 1 degree (F) in 125 years. Actually, it’s increased by twice that. If you look at the link below, the area in red is 1.1 degree (C) which converts to 2 degrees (F). He says, “The average temperature in Antarctica is 109 degrees below zero.” If you go to his source, that’s the number for the MINIMUM temperature, not the average. Then he says, “Back in the '70s all the hype was about global COOLING”. I was around then. I don’t remember any hype. And if you go to his source, it says, “The theory never had strong scientific support”.

The truth is that those 2 degrees are HUGE in the scale of average weather change. But the real problem is the speed of change and that it's accelerating.
Scientists are predicting a temp 4 to 8 degree (F) increase over the next 75 years. “This may not sound like a great deal, but just a fraction of a degree can have huge implications on the climate, with very noticeable consequences." (http://www.channel4.com/science/microsi ... cting.html )

The link between CO2 and global warming is undisputed at this time. The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased by more than 50% over the last 115 years (250 to 381 ppm, http://awesomenature.tribe.net/thread/f ... 6c08031c65 ). In the last 30 years, it increased at a rate 30 times faster than at any period during the last 800,000 years. In other words, this change is totally unprecedented. (http://awesomenature.tribe.net/thread/f ... 6c08031c65 ). What else is totally unprecedented about the last 115 years? Industrialization and the population explosion. Duh. This is not rocket science; it is simple arithmetic!

"... the good news is that, within the foreseeable future, Maine residents will be able to stop banking their foundations and to store their down parkas and snow blowers in the barn permanently. The bad news is that a lot of those barns will be underwater" (http://awesomenature.tribe.net/thread/f ... 6c08031c65 )

If global warming wasn't a real threat, why have 178 nations ratified the Kyoto Protocol to limit CO2 emissions? Why are the US and Australia the only two holdouts among the industrialized nations? (http://environment.about.com/od/kyotopr ... ocol_2.htm )

CapNemo’s statement reminds me about the frog in the pot on the stove that doesn’t move as the water gradually gets hotter and hotter. From this seemingly insignificant 2 degree change, we’ve already seen enormous consequences. (http://www.davidsuzuki.org/Climate_Change/Impacts/) How much hotter does it have to get for some people to wake up and face the music? And in the meantime, while you’re pondering all of this, be sure to check the dates on people’s references. Things are changing so rapidly that older information is no longer useful.

Now that I know I should pay for my timeshare, how do I work out an agreement with the timeshare? Now that I know I should pay for my timeshare, how do I work out an agreement with the timeshare?

Well now that you know you should never have bought the timeshare (you seem way over your head) the reality is you most likely signed a contract for 7 to 10 years at a 14% to 17% interest rate. Also you are looking at annual maintenance fees and taxes. If you can't pay these things you should look into forfeiting the property. If you don't pay they will take the resort back anyhow and destroy your credit. By any chance do you have a credit card with a large limit or a home with equity??? if not your up **** creek without a paddle

.:Gene:.

I bought a timeshare in July, now I no longer want to pay for it, what should I do? I bought a timeshare in July, now I no longer want to pay for it, what should I do?

Check your contract, you might find you are tied into it for a set amount of years, so you might not have much choice other than pay for it.

Got an attorney for his timeshare and now he wants me to pay the bill!? Got an attorney for his timeshare and now he wants me to pay the bill!?

Just because you put a question mark at the end of a statement does not make it a question. So is your real question?

If you can't afford to properly advertise your timeshare here is a few sites that may be able to help you. Advertising in Yahoo Answers will not get the results you're looking for

My friend bought a timeshare, and now owes 10k! How can she get out of this?

My friend, Wenni had been called, and told that she would be given a free cruise if she went to a meeting. She went to the meeting and was given an application to send in for the cruise. She was given a contract to sign (not told it was a contract) and just told to sign here and here, she did so thinking she was signing up for a club. That would allow here to go on vacations etc. (was not told it was a timeshare) Later on she sent in her application for the cruise, (did not kno they were in Canada) so go there one day late. She recieved a letter saying she could not go because of this. She was told at the meeting that she could get 2 free weekends at the Windsor Country Club, she tried to get this one day, she called the supervisor Michael and he never called back. During this time they were taking money out of her account. She gave them 1k at the meeting, and they took $150 a month. She stopd access 4 months ago, and they are saying she signed a 10k contract and that its uncancelable

Where is this, mate?

seems like all the fellows above are Yanks and maybe this didn't happen in America but in Canada??

The laws are different in different places.

***
The usual law in America is that you have three days to recind the deal, after which you're on the hook.

Not reading what you're signing is not an excuse in America, unless you are under legal age, temporarily or permanently incompetent, or unable to read.

***
Btw, the written language of the agreement holds in America and trumps anything said during the sale activity. Read it -- it says so right in it!
