What a wonderful idea. Do I mail you a check or does it come out of my taxes automatically?

Scientists say treated wastewater could help Virginia’s coast respond to rising seas.
A local sanitation department for the Hampton Roads region wants to start injecting the water deep underground instead of dumping it in rivers that flow into the Chesapeake Bay.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the water could likely expand the sandy aquifer underground, causing the ground to rise. …

Is the idea here that the sewage would be so gross that the oceans would hold back?
Can someone please tell me if there is actual proof that sea waters are rising? I believe nothing that comes out of the mouths of the left. A look at Hoover Dam and Lake Mead says otherwise.
You mean it could be that the One did not bring about “the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal”? (Remember that tripe, uttered over eight years ago?)
I don’t understand the omnipresent cognitive dissonance of the left. I’m sure many of these scientists who fearmonger with assertions that global warming will kill us all, also believe there is an overpopulation problem. Why try to stop your Problem A when it is the solution to your Problem B?
Of course, both anthropogenic gw and the so-called population bomb are specious, but you would think they would at least connect the dots and be consistent in their own made up world.

I would suspect that the water treatment facilities is unable to meet the state or federal standards for clean water and want to hide their dirty water deep underground. If they were allowed to do this, I further suspect in a few years down the road the down side of doing this will come back and bite them in the butt (by that time however, the management would have collected their bonuses and moved on).
One of the N reasons that journalists fail second grade science (where N is a very large number) is this article.
Sea rise?
OK, where?
Oh, forgot, it’s coming.
Just like the “no snow, ever” prediction that was slated for a couple of years ago.
Remember, when math and physics are beyond your ken, you’ve always got journalism, English, “studies” or other crappola.
what could possibly go wrong?

Eight years of tripe and babble and leftist garbage. He cannot leave soon enough. Friday is party day.

GOD’S FINAL ANSWER...
PROVERBS 8:29
I was there when He set the limits of the seas, so they would not spread beyond their boundaries. And when He marked off the earth’s foundations,
PSALM 104:9
Then You set a firm boundary for the seas, so they would never again cover the earth.
JEREMIAH 5:22
‘Do you not fear Me?’ declares the LORD ‘Do you not tremble in My presence? For I have placed the sand as a boundary for the sea, An eternal decree, so it cannot cross over it. Though the waves toss, yet they cannot prevail; Though they roar, yet they cannot cross over it.
It’s more the notion of end justifies the means: tell any lie that seems likely to increase the state’s power, because once the state gets powerful enough, it can start rewriting history day by day. Of course, to people who know the truth, it appears as cognitive dissonance.
The idea seems to be that the wastewater injections will somehow make the coastline rise.
I think I saw a recent story that the sealevel at Boston was going to rise 10 feet.
I kind of got the feeling that CT wasn’t going to be as effected. And ME was not going to be as effected. Really, just sort of a localized hill of seawater at Boston rising up an extra 10 feet and flooding the city.
I’m not sure how this works.
If it ain’t broke why fix it. Fake news and phony science doesn’t need action.
No, treated sewage is not a “tool” against sea level rise. If you’ve got enough, it might be a “tool” against subsidence created by groundwater depletion, but it won’t have the least bit of an effect on the sea level.
These people can’t really be scientists. They’re just too ignorant. Please tell me that science in the United States has not been reduced to this.
More than so-called ‘man-made global warming’ what folks should really be concerned about are the hair-brained schemes some in the political and science communities are hatching to deal with it. Law of unintended consequences anyone?
If you’re referring to Merton’s definition of the term, then anything the government does in this respect falls into the “perverse result” category.
So they are planning on fracking.
