Water not rising; ground is sinking.

If you can’t withstand a one foot increase in sea level then you built in the wrong place and you chose POORLY. History teaches us that sea levels rise and fall over time.

There’s that word “could” again in a global warming story. They are also getting better at stating unverifiable dates. They must have learned from the IPCC fiasco of the 50 million climate refugees due to rising sea levels in 2005, 2010 and 2015 never happening.

ZERO TRAVEL APPROVALS FOR GLOBAL CLIMATE CON-MEN.

Require that they all tele-commute from home.

No ritzy hotels, no dinners out, no conferences in exotic locals.

I like how they can’t accurately predict out one to five days yet we are supposed to believe they can accurately assess ten twenty or one hundred years..

Push the prophecies beyond their lifetimes and there is no accountability for their fraud and swindle of trillions of dollars public and private.

Dynasties and wealth are being created from deceit and hysteria.

They could do what the penguins did, MOVE.

Such a persistence in “keeping things as they are” despite nature and trends.

Bernie Sanders: Climate Change is Directly Related To Terrorism

by Michelle Fields
Nov 14, 2015

“In fact, climate change is directly related to the growth of terrorism,” said Sanders.

“And if we do not get our act together and listen to what the scientists say, you’re going to see counties all over the world...they’re going to be struggling over limited amounts of water, limited amounts of land to grow their crops, and you’re going to see all kinds of international conflict.”

Sanders said at the second Democratic debate in Iowa that climate change poses the biggest threat to America’s national security and to security of the world. ...”

Scare the people enough so you can create thousands and thousands more “necessary” government jobs, “grants”, subsidies, regulations, mandates, ect., ect.

When, even if you must “do something” the tons of “sustainability” and “green” projects are a multi-billion dollar waste compared to the already proven means others (like the Dutch) have been doing for centuries - dikes.

> Climate change could ravage waterfront by 2100 <

Does the headline include a scary prediction? Check.
Does it include a word a like “could” or “might”? Check.
Does it include a long time frame? Check.

Does it include a victim group, like “the children”, who will be especially harmed? No.

Sorry Press-Herald, close but no cigar. Try harder next time.

“Julie Rosenbach, South Portland’s sustainability director”

Only an idiot farm like Portland would have a sustainability director.

All of these articles have the same formula. State in the first two sentences that something “may” or “could” or “might” happen. Then state everything in the result as a fact. By then of the article, the facts remain in the mind of the reader, not the hypothetical “maybe”.

Excerpts from article:

They hope to split the $220,000 cost of a consultant and technical work, which means each city council must approve a $110,000 budget item this spring for the collaboration to go forward.

Under the solar farm contracts, each city will purchase the electricity from ReVision at rates higher than market prices for the first six years, before being able to buy the solar equipment outright for nearly $1.6 million.

This carpet muncher and her cohort are great scammers.

Has there ever been a war between South Portland and North Portland? They had to divide up the territories?
