Outrage Dujour
Baltimore Chronicle gleefully predicts the destruction of millions of “bible bangers” and conservatives due to global warming.
Say what you will about the looming catastrophe facing the world as the pace of global heating and polar melting accelerates. There is a silver lining.
Look at a map of the US.
The area that will by completely inundated by the rising ocean—and not in a century but in the lifetime of my two cats—are the American southeast, including the most populated area of Texas, almost all of Florida, most of Louisiana, and half of Alabama and Mississippi, as well as goodly portions of eastern Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. While the northeast will also see some coastal flooding, its geography is such that that aside from a few projecting sandbars like Long Island and Cape Cod, the land rises fairly quickly to well above sea level. Sure, Boston, New York and Philadelphia will be threatened, but these are geographically confined areas that could lend themselves to protection by Dutch-style dikes. The West Coast too tends to rise rapidly to well above sea level in most places. Only down in Southern California towards the San Diego area is the ground closer to sea level.
So what we see is that huge swaths of conservative America are set to face a biblical deluge in a few more presidential cycles.
I always knew AGW was a mostly left wing fantasy. But this is ridiculous. This writer’s delusion is only eclipsed by his stupidity. There is no evidence whatsoever that any such thing is going to happen. Aside from the fact that parts of the world have had record cold temperatures this winter, scientists aren’t predicting sea rises that severe. The most they’ve predicted is around a foot in 50 years. And they’re probably wrong.
And just how did the last ice age end?
Did the waters recede for Noah?
Will I be able to water ski in Dec?
BUUUUUUWHAAAA.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Between the propeller beanie wearers of inpending doom from overpopulation and the glow-bull worming from Al Gore; I just can’t decide who is the biggest liar.Its all just another scam to tax us back to the 7th century.

In the Medieval Warming Period temperatures ranged from 0.6 to 3C above presen, glaciers receeded over most of the world, but sea levels did not rise. The world coastline was effectively the same (unlike, say, during the ice ages when much of the continental shelves were above water.) A wish fulfillment fantasy.
