According to Flannery, even if we reduce our carbon dioxide emissions by 70 percent by 2050, average global temperatures will increase between two and nine degrees by 2100. ... If it and the West Antarctic Ice Sheet melt, sea levels will rise five to 10 meters, displacing half a billion inhabitants.

Oh my GOD! I only have 95 years to find a new apartment!! Quickly, let's destroy the economy so that over the next 95 years, the coastline doesn't change!! That way, instead of moving half a billion people, we can just starve them to death!

According to me, Flannery is an ass.

These envirototalitarians want population control and any devious way to cause negative population growth is encouraged. In their world, if they could grow more alligators to eat people, that would be a good thing. Initiating ecology policies that cause world starvation through the collapse of the U.S. economy would be a good start. Would you expect anything less from the Culture of Death?

Right! In fact we should abandon technology almost entirely. After all, when we have to retreat from the coast, mud huts are soooo much easier to reconstruct than frame houses!
