That’s OK. Everyone should be figuring out how to make a living anyway, instead of bobbing around on a surf board.

I guess the Mercury News is unaware that a high ranking UN administrator told the world that global warming is a political movement, intended to destroy capitalism.

“Climate change may flatten Santa Cruz’s famed surfing waves.”
And if it doesn’t, or if the opposite happens, will that shut them up? I didn’t think so.

There is no “global Warming”. The untampered with data shows the opposite. The “scientist” that support the lies are all on federal grants!!

If the ocean rises to cover the entire land surface of the earth, there won’t be any surf.
