For climate-change alarmists, the heat is on… their foreheads. Their desperation is starting to bead up and roll into their collars like flop sweat. California Gov. Jerry Brown’s absurd contention that LAX Airport is going to be turned into a bathtub because of climate change is the latest example of how know-nothings in the media, entertainment and politics are reaching for ever more questionable arguments as they continue to fail to stoke fears in an American public that, contrary to their hateful claims, largely believes in global warming but isn’t particularly worried about it. (Even among Democrats, more Americans rate drug use than climate change a serious political issue).
Brown said that due to changes in glacier mass (breathlessly hyped as “collapse” by the media), in 200 years “the Los Angeles airport’s going to be underwater.”
No, it isn’t. A projected four-foot rise in sea levels won’t much affect the airport, which sits 120 feet above sea level. A spokesman for Brown quietly admitted “the governor misspoke.” Cancel that budget item for the “billions of dollars” Brown imagined would be necessary to move the airport. (Or, maybe, move it anyway, for the same reason the state hopes to spend $68 billion on high-speed rail: It may be useless, but construction jobs will surely be created.)
Brown’s effort is typical of the political-informational complex’s new tactics. In the face of the inconvenient truths that hurricane activity has been on the decline and there was a frustratingly dismal season of storms for alarmists last year, that record cold temperatures last winter can hardly be blamed on global warming , that the slowing rate of increase in global temperatures is on the verge of falling beneath even the lowest projections of virtually all climate-change models,

Don’t let Jerry Brown get anywhere near a hockey stick.
What’s the matter? getting too hot for their silly asses?
Have they asked Bill Ayers for bombing advice yet ?
I was LIED to?!?!?!
By Democrats?!?!?
And the MEDIA?!?!
These statist pukes are so predictable.
If LAX is about to be inundated by rising sea level, Al Gore’s $9 million seaside California mansion will soon have wet carpets.
He should say that the melting glacier will make the oceans rise 120 feet plus whatever the height of the plane is so that it will just cover the plane.
Perhaps the lie should be that the ocean will rise 140 feet.
He should use the tactics of the Big Lie more in the fashion of his hero Goebbels and the other one with the stooge haircut instead of lying like a cartoon character.

It’s getting into the summer and shaping up to be a scorcher. They’ll be whipping the media into a frenzy since this summer will be “one of the hottest on record.”
In other news, water is wet. Story at 11.
“CONTINUE” being desperate. These anti-science morons need to get a clue.
