Just more communist propaganda to further control what we do with our lives. Headed by King Ahab Obama and his wife Jezebel Me-Chell.

The latest scare news about antartica doesn't jive with this:

South Pole: Green is ice present in 2013, which was not present in 1992. Red shows the opposite.

The eco-criminals are relentless in their subservience to stupidity and ignorance. What conniving brainless fools.

I’m willing to take this risk as long as we save Jennifer Lopez.

If sea level is rising, why are all the old buildings along the beachfront in Virginia Beach (some built as much as 90 to 100 years ago, still the same elevations above sea level as the day they were built?

And that means climate change will likely spike as a point of conflict in the 2016 presidential race.

In case anyone was wondering, this is the punchline. And why not? The Dems know perfectly well that they've royally screwed everything else up in the last six years: foreign policy, the domestic economy, jobs, immigration, gun control, and a weird fixation on social engineering through the promotion of sexual perversion. Brownstein is looking for an issue he figures they own on which to focus the election and there aren't really many left.

There needn't be a single stitch of truth in it - and there isn't - for it to work. Understand that the Dems have been very successful constructing the last two Presidential campaigns around smoke and mirrors. Why not another?

They don’t seem to be worried about New Orleans. It will be underwater before Miami. Oh well.

I guess that makes Gore the Grand Klimatologist?

That is rich ground for the photoshoppers.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Climate change can go both ways, right?

Global temperatures can drop as well as rise.

The changes to the flood insurance program that increased rates were actually the first start to the solution to this. Stop incentivizing construction right by the shore - if only because of hurricanes and storm surges.
If liberals were so certain the seas would rise, upping the flood insurance for any buildings within five feet of sea level without sea walls would force a gradual migration to higher ground.

The federal National Climate Assessment released last week catalogued current-day consequences linked to a shifting climate that range from heat waves, droughts, and extreme weather (more high-intensity hurricanes along the Atlantic Coast and a nearly 40 percent increase in heavy downpours in the Midwest) to rising sea levels pressing against coastal cities. Scientists followed that cannon shot with the release of new studies this week showing that climate change is accelerating an apparently irreversible melting in the West Antarctic ice cap that will raise sea levels worldwide.

We have had LOWER intensity Atlantic hurricanes since they predicted worse ones.

The drought out west is democRat made.

The ice pack was so much larger now than in the past that environmental pseudo-scientists lost a ship to the ice along with two icebreakers.

Rising sea levels are not currently pressing against coastal cities. The difference in sea levels are not discern able to the eye, and are not demonstrably linked to human carbon emissions.

This is pure junk science fiction.

When (IF) Miami goes under, there’s going to be a lot of street rats drowned. (Sarc)

Miami will likely be underwater before the Senate can muster enough votes to meaningfully confront climate change.

If Obama can't halt sea level rise (after he promised to) what change do mere mortals have?
