Mexico - The political problems between Cuba and the United States will be resolved in 50 years when the island disappears under water because of climate change, said Carlos Pascual, the U.S. ambassador in Mexico City.
Mr. Pascual, born in Havana in 1959, was introduced as an “expert in climate change and renewable energy” at a Forum called Green Business Expo held at a private university in Mexico City. In his talk he referred to the effect of global warming and rising sea levels in areas such as Florida and Cuba, according to CNN [Spanish language].
"We do not have to worry much in the United States about Cuba because the environment will eliminate the problem for us,"
Pascual said, "unless Fidel Castro can live for another 50 years and he has powers that we don’t know so far."
Pascual holds a B.A. from Stanford University and obtained a Master Degree in Political Science at Harvard’s School of Government. Cuban media has qualified the remarks of the US ambassador as “arrogant and heavy-handed”.

LOL! If he believes this, he probably believes Fidelito is a zombie, too. Ne Zot, how can people be so dumb and keep breathing?

He was Clinton’s ambassador to Ukraine. Bush replaced him.

Jeez, the highest point in Cuba is just shy of 6,600 feet above sea level. What a Maroon.
To: mgstarr
Or maybe if we completely pull out of Guantanamo Bay, the whole island will get out of balance and tip over.

The highest point in Cuba is Pico Turquino at 6,578 ft. If it is under water then Denver will be under water too.

"We do not have to worry much in the United States about Cuba because the environment will eliminate the problem for us," If Limbaugh or Beck had said this, the Lefty media and others would be calling for their heads.

If we move a lot of people to Guantanmo, the island will capsize ... and perhaps the underside will have higher mountains ... PROBLEM SOLVED!
PS. I know just the US Rep to bring up such a measure in the House.
