Say what you will about the looming catastrophe facing the world as the pace of global heating and polar melting accelerates. There is a silver lining.
Look at a map of the US.
The area that will by completely inundated by the rising oceanand not in a century but in the lifetime of my two catsare the American southeast, including the most populated area of Texas, almost all of Florida, most of Louisiana, and half of Alabama and Mississippi, as well as goodly portions of eastern Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. While the northeast will also see some coastal flooding, its geography is such that that aside from a few projecting sandbars like Long Island and Cape Cod, the land rises fairly quickly to well above sea level. Sure, Boston, New York and Philadelphia will be threatened, but these are geographically confined areas that could lend themselves to protection by Dutch-style dikes. The West Coast too tends to rise rapidly to well above sea level in most places. Only down in Southern California towards the San Diego area is the ground closer to sea level.
So what we see is that huge swaths of conservative America are set to face a biblical deluge in a few more presidential cycles.
Then theres the matter of the Midwest, which climate experts say is likely to face a permanent condition of unprecedented drought, making the place largely unlivable, and certainly unfarmable. The agribusinesses and conservative farmers that have been growing corn and wheat may be able to stretch out this doomsday scenario by deep well drilling, but west of the Mississippi, the vast Ogallala Aquifer that has allowed for such irrigation is already being tapped out. It will not be replaced.
So again, we will see the decline and depopulation...

Needs barf alert. Projectile actually.

It's just a wet dream. They would just love to make us politically impotent. Of course, they forget that the right has the guns....
Incredible - what a loon this guy is!
Poor man has lost more than his hair.
The left — always gleefully awaiting the next catastrophe to clear the way for socialism.
LOL at Litorally!
Thank you. I’ll be here all night.
Yeah, I care what this dork thinks.
If these people REALLY believed this crap, we would be seeing massive investments in “soon to be” ocean front property.
I here Denver just set a 100 year old record for Christmas Day snow fall.
My mom in Iowa says she’s ready for winter to be over - and it just started.
