Failed presidential candidate John Kerry offered a startling prediction Friday morning: If the U.S. doesn't change its global warming ways, New York City and Boston will be destroyed by flooding by 2036.
"I can say to an absolute certainty," Kerry told radio host Don Imus, "that if things stay exactly as they are today absent some unpredictable change in what's going on, within the next 30 years the Arctic ice sheet is gone.
"Not maybe, not if - the Arctic ice sheet is gone," the Massachusetts Democrat insisted, before offering his hair-raising prediction.
"Already you have the Greenland ice sheet beginning to melt . . . If that melts, you have a level of sea level increase that wipes out Boston Harbor, New York Harbor - I mean, it's just stunning what we're looking at."
Kerry blamed the Bush administration's environmental policies for the coming destruction of New York and Boston.
"Europe and the other countries are responding," he told Imus. "The United States remains oblivious - at least the administration remains oblivious."
Despite the dire warning, Kerry hasn't done much to change his own global warming ways.
At last report, he and his wife still owned several SUV's, a gas guzzling yacht, five BTU gobbling homes and a private jet.
Like fellow environmentalist RFK, Jr., Kerry continues to withold his support for the proposed construction of a wind farm in the waters off Nantucket, where he and his wife own a mansion.
Don't know about NY, but I gather Boston's losing population at the rate of 10,000 per year, so it probably won't have to last longer than that.
Howie Carr had a column in today's Herald about the drop in population and the pols' typical responses: too few people eat in Boston restaurants -- solution: add a local option tax, so even fewer people will; housing too expensive: solution: raise property taxes and buy up more land to be held by the city; too many illegal immigrants: solution: offer them in-state tuition rates. (Oh, wait, the illegal immigrant population might have to worry!)
Screw NYC and Boston; their inhabitants are ultra liberal and tend to vote democrats. No big loss.
(For those people who can't take a joke, this is sarcasm. Thank you)
Yep, in 6 years, Bush the great destroyer, has brought the world to it's knees!/sar Kerry is unbelievable, what a clown. The really sad part is, there are people out there who will believe this crap!
Or any of the Kennedy's, or Al Gore, or Ralph nader, or PETA, or ELF, or Jacques Cousteau, etc. etc. etc.
And his face lS that of Gloom and Doom.
Chicken Little.
Love your tagline - one of those "why didn't I think of that"
Mayday. Of course. Anytime soon will be fine with either of us, eh?
"I used to think he was just an annoying dweeb..."
You insult annoying dweebs the world over...Have You No Shame? No Mercy?
John F. Kerry, 94 year old widower, Ketchup and Tater Tots billionaire, former US Senator, and candidate for President, windsurfs down State Street hollering, "I told you so!!"
If the ice caps begin to melt the level of the ocean will sink, not raise. Ice is not as dense as water. That's why it floats.
So that big tunnel that costs millions in Boston will be filled up with water.
Roger that 11B from an old 11C.
The sooner the better in my think, the sooner the better. I hate that guy worse than anyone I can think of.
Somebody quick send John Kerry this book!
"Meltdown : The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media" by Patrick J. Michaels
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1930865597/ref=ord_cart_shr/002-0852802-9520832?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance&n=283155
Book Description
An eminently readable and often humorous critique, Meltdown documents hundreds of exaggerations from scientists, politicians and the media, and ties them together with the common thread of rational self-interest.
I've watched this movie a couple of times now and am just amazed at how fast the polar caps melted, all in about 2 hours. :)
OK, and LA will be in the Pacific as well, but that's not dealing with the whole problem. What do we do with Detroit?
