DC -- Exhibit: Sea Level Rise @ National Mall:
- Bruce Guthrie Photos Home Page: [Click here] to go to Bruce Guthrie Photos home page.
- Description of Pictures: Vinny Valetutti lives in Massachusetts and came down for the weekend to put his truck here on the Mall and talk about climate change.
"Since the peak of the last Ice Age, sea levels have risen 400 feet. Greenland and Antarctica are beginning to melt. If they melt completely, sea levels will rise another 220 feet!!! 20 feet for Greenland & 200 feet for Antarctica. What will we do?? Note: Please don't believe me. Do your own research."
His sea level rise indicator was saying if only 10% of the ice melted, we'd be dealing with a 22 foot rise. He said that Covid-19 was a minor issue relative to all of this and that just this small portion of the total impact of climate change was an existential threat to life on earth.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

All of which is true of course.
He mentioned he had set up a website for his effort ( http://sealevelriseruler.com/ ) He had wanted https://www.sealevelrise.com/ but it turned out that was already taken by a group associated with Greta Thunberg.
- Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
- Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
