Tide and time wait for no man, or so they say. But that isn't really true if you are a rich progressive, or one of those who finagle a fine living off the stupidity of naive guilt-riddled Westerners.
Take the rising tide. For years the climate alarmists have been claiming that low-lying atolls like those in the Maldives would disappear, swallowed by the sea in a manner reminiscent of Atlantis. Global warming is causing sea level rise, they claim, and places like the Seychelles or Kiribati or the Maldives were doomed, doomed, doomed!
Reasonable people pointed out that the sea levels have been rising for ten thousand years and there has been no major increase in the rate of sea level rise (which is 0.118 ± 0.016 inches per year), but this entreaty fell on deaf ears.
In fact, the Copenhagen Climate Summit made it quite plain:
"The Copenhagen Climate Change conference opened this week with an urgent call to action on the rapidly warming temperatures and the associated human costs that come from it. And, no country in the world will be more affected than the small nation of Maldives. The country is a series of tiny atolls that rise no more than a few feet above sea level. The fear is that as sea levels rise, the entire country of Maldives will simply be swamped and disappear. All 309,000 residents of the country will have to move -- everyone from the President to the poorest resident. The newly elected President of the Maldives and his cabinet held a cabinet meeting underwater in full scuba gear to highlight their country’s fate.
So, the prime minister needed lots of money to save a remnant of his people and provide breathing apparatus.
Or was it for other reasons?

The agenda is to bankrupt America and Americans in order to make all mankind truly equal. Third worlders are sadly, too lazy and ignorant to improve their lot. So, our "betters" have decided to make us all equally destitute.
Trump is possibly merely a temporary reprieve. Americans are so stupid and short sighted that at some point, they'll elect another jimmy carter or barry o'bummer. If that happens, can it be said that we do not deserve what we get?
The addicts living in tents in san fransicko might just be the HOA of the future.
“Americans are so stupid and short sighted that at some point, they’ll elect another jimmy carter or barry o’bummer. If that happens, can it be said that we do not deserve what we get?”
Americans are not stupid as much as they are easily mislead and generally uninformed and misinformed. We as a Nation are mostly intellectually lazy and not at all curious.
So yes we do deserve exactly what we get in government.
No, the agenda is to steal wealth from America, since that's where a good deal of wealth is for now, and skim off the top for the facilitators.
The rest is noise for useful idiots who think they are important as they follow the Pied Piper d'jour.
Earth Mother Gaia demands a sacrifice you heretics!
Correct. The Democrat party is a criminal cabal.
In many places around the world, the problem is not so much rising sea levels as earth subsidence due to compaction of aquifer systems, and the dissolution and collapse of the underlying rocks.
Interestingly, we never seem to hear about subsidence; only about sea level rise, and how it’s the fault of the West...Much of this subsidence is due to natural processes we can do nothing about, but much is also due to ground water removal from aquifers, especially in low-lying coastal areas where much of the world’s population lives...
Global warming is a canard designed to extract guilt money from gullible Westerners and pay it to Turd Worlders otherwise unfit to tend goats...”Odungo tends the village goats...Each day he counts the goats...How many goats does the village have? Answer: This many stones...”
