On Wednesday, MSNBC freaked out over the global cruise ship industry attempting to return to business after being largely shut down during the pandemic. The reason for the left-wing cable channel’s fear? That boats full of tourists represented the latest “climate crisis,” akin to massive wildfires or deadly floods.
“Also, climate crisis after climate crisis. Fires growing in California, smoke reaching the east coast, deadly floods in China, and now, a new fear in Florida,” fill-in anchor Chris Jansing ominously warned at the top of the 11:00 a.m. ET hour. She then specifically attacked the state’s Republican governor backing the return of cruise ships: “People in Key West saw the water become even more clear blue during the pandemic, but on the order of Governor Ron DeSantis, cruise ships and their pollution are making a comeback, despite the local government’s best attempts to stop them.”
Later on the show, Jansing touted the supposed environmental benefits of the COVID pandemic that has killed millions.

Who even believes
the water “became even more blue.” Says who, and by what metric. Nothing but media effluent.
Cruise ships do cause climate change. A big cruise ship can displace up to 900,000 metric tons of water, thus causing rising sea levels. To fix this all boats need to be removed from the oceans. If we remove all Cruise Ships, Yachts, Aircraft Carriers, Destroyers and other ocean going vessels from the ocean, experts say the sea levels will fall up to 1/8 of an inch worldwide.
Apparently I didn’t spot that my source (Britannica) for the volume of the Great Lakes was using cubic miles, while the source (worldatlas) for the volume of Lake Baikal gave it in cubic kilometers. Thus, Lake Baikal is nowhere near four times the volume of the Great Lakes, and I am totally embarrassed.
Baikal still contains more water than the Great Lakes, though.
Caspian Sea?
There is a 1942 MGM Traveltalks short on Glacier and Waterton National Parks in which it is said that the earth has been warming and the glaciers have been melting since the last ice age 12,000 years ago “And if there is NO CLIMATIC CHANGE they will be gone in a thousand years.”
So no matter what puny man tries to do, the earth will still warm until natural forces hurl it into another Ice Age, which was supposed to have started in the 1970s.
Have any of these astute assclowns even considered how many commercial boats are plying the oceans everyday? Fookin’ idjits! Just think how much sea level would drop if we dry docked all those ships and boats. :-} STOP DISPLACING WATER!
Dam it!
According to 1970s prognostications, Chicago was supposed to be buried under a mile of ice right now.
Sparks from the props against the roadway will do that.
Perhaps they got a new batch of weed with something mixed in to make the hallucinate?
May be climatalogical discombobulation
The headline doesn’t match the headline at the website. The article said the cruises cause damage like the wildfires, etc. do.
Why not ferries, container ships or oil tankers? It’s about taking away anything fun and enjoyable for the proles. They won’t ever go after private yachts.
If we dry dock all boats the sea may go away forever. Maybe we could find Atlantis.
Did you know...
MSNBC is Comcast — telecom
CNN is ATT — telecom
Progressives projecting.
Methinks media and journalists are the true threat.
All those old geezers who like to go on these cruises should riot and burn down MSNBC headquarters...
Really? Further proof these people are nuts.
I guess none of these people ever heard or thought about the fable of Chicken Little.
MSNBC’s ratings are in the toilet, ergo, they are developing controversies about anything that will generate more viewers to watch them. Follow the money.
