Interesting juxtaposition of the two films. Loved the second.
You may not be noticing it because of your location. The poles of the earth are heating up fastest and soonest because of the way they reflect or don't reflect, the sun's heat. The Arctic and Greenland and Antarctic are actually experiencing occasional heat waves. Unheard of in the past.
So far, we won't be noticing rising seas all that much because the majority of ice melt thus far, has been sea ice at the Arctic. It's like when you drop a couple of ice cubes in your drink and then let it melt. The level in your glass doesn't really rise up that much does it?
Easy to say 'if you believe a situation is serious, you issue clear instructions....' The current Canadian government takes the situation 'seriously' and put in place a carbon tax/rebate system and it's been nothing but grief for them because people don't understand it/don't believe climate change is serious/don't want to do their part/opposition parties are misleading....... People don't want to change until the problem hurts them personally and they don't care if it hurts someone else. That's my impression after following this issue for years.
There's a problem with your idea though, actually two problems....one is that the ocean is absorbing a lot of the excess carbon dioxide and it is acidifying the ocean which changes the PH and makes it harder for the ocean plants to grow and we get 80% of the worlds oxygen from the ocean plankton, algae and kelp.
Human beings must breathe oxygen . . . to survive, and begin to suffer adverse health effects when the oxygen level of their breathing air drops below [19.5 percent oxygen].
