Wasserman Schultz: My District Will ‘Be Underwater in a Few Short Years’

By Andrew Johnson June 28, 2013 12:02 PM Comments 52

Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D., Fla.), who represents the Miami area, warned that unless climate change is addressed “in a few short years,” rising sea levels will force her to represent areas more than two hundred miles away.

“I will eventually represent Orlando if we don’t do something about making sure we can reduce global warming,” she said on Fox News this morning. Wasserman Schultz’s current residence, Weston, Fla., is 224 miles away from Orlando.

She cautioned that her community wouldn’t be the only one at risk. “Coastal communities all across the country, are facing dangerous sea-level rises, which will ultimately cause homes to be underwater in a few short years,” she said.

She represents Miami Beach, Pembrook and Hollywood, Fl.

Just a note here. If you go into any of the trendy beach bars you’ll most likely see photos of the beach in front of them dating from the ‘20-50’s-to now. Pay attention to the tideline. It’s exactly the same today as it was then. If her assertion was true then the roads running along the beach would have been covered by water and the entire beach front would have moved inland. It’s unlikely that suddenly, the oceans will rise two feet, or even two inches.

even if that was true, it’s beyond ridiculous to think that we could “fix” the planet before she was submerged. if she truly believed that line of crap she is peddling, she wouldn’t be on television talking about it. she would be packing.

A real leader would go down with her district, Debbie!

I think her district is about 10 miles inland. The prospect of her, personally, being permanently underwater is quite appealing, though.

Isn’t the Orlando area Corrine Brown’s District? Is Debbie downer so delusional that she thinks she could primary Brown on Browns turf and win.

(I just answered my own question, didn’t I?)

Ah ha! She’s competing with Nancy Pelosi to see who can make the most ridiculous statements. I’d say it’s a draw so far.
