Global Warming Will Save America from the Right...Eventually

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 ocean—and not in a century but in the lifetime of my two cats—are 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 there’s 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...

Let’s give this guy lots and lots of pub. I’m hoping to get some really, really good buys on oceanfron property.

We're all doomed I tell ya. - Doomed!

LOL! Be an optimist. Some of us will be well prepared for the warm weather...

Human Stupidification. Expect those afflicted to become violent when reality prevails over their fantasies.

little X?

Expect those afflicted to become violent when reality prevails over their fantasies.

Good advice. - Best I’ve heard today.

[alwaysconservative]

Well, isn’t he just the “sensitive” one, blithely looking for the political silver lining in (his fantasy of) having millions of humans die so “his kind” can rule the country?

“Sick” doesn’t even begin to cover the derangement of this awful, awful man.

[pandemoniumreigns]

The utterly, stupididily, innanility, assininality of these peoples thought prosseses leaves me......

speechless

Are those words?

Doesn't matter...I didn't say anything...

[Onelifetogive]

Is the water level going to rise so fast that I won’t have a chance to move? Or I won’t have enough time to pack my voter registration card?

[popdonnelly]

If global warming is a problem, I would expect conservatives to solve it a long time before leftists would.

[Onelifetogive]

And meanwhile, the Northeast turns too cold to be habitable.

Uhhh??? Too late!

[Brad from Tennessee]

What’s coming is the next Ice Age. The Red States are going to be invaded by freezing northeasterners.

Question: “What’s worse than a Yankee?”

Answer: “A Yankee pulling a U-Haul.”

[Marie2]

Maybe we should just be quiet and left the doomsayers believe their hype. Then they could be in FAVOR of global warming, and stop trying to legislate “earning a living” and “enjoying the rewards of our labor” out of existence.

[socialismisinsidious]

So the Loony Liberals is hoping millions of people, who don't agree with his politics, die so he can disenfranchise the rest and rub in it their faces. Ideological he doesn't sound much different than Hitler, Mao or Stalin. Big surprise from a Democrat-Socialist. /s

When global warming doesn't happen I want to be the first to say, “Shut up. We told you this wouldn't happen.”

[Lancey Howard]

"Global warming" hoax BUMP! The circus is in town!

"Uhh... Where wuz I?"

[sig226]

This guy is an idiot. He thinks food comes from supermarkets.

If food gets short in the red states, they will keep what’s left. They won’t send it off to the cities for somebody else to eat.

"Philadelphia journalist Dave Lindorff is a 34-year veteran, an award-winning journalist, a former New York Times contributor, a graduate of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, a two-time Journalism Fulbright Scholar, and the co-author, with Barbara Olshansky, of a well-regarded book on impeachment, The Case for Impeachment. His work is available at www.thiscantbehappening.net."

This is the kind brainwashed nut case the Columbia School of Journalism has been turning out for the past 40 years. Like Bill Clinton he was a Fulbright Scholar (programmed as an apparatchik for world socialism).

I think it's great these boneheads enjoy full freedom of speech even though he doesn't think conservative Americans should be allowed to 1) live and 2) function in effective voting districts. He's a totalitarian hater and the world needs to know what they're really up to.

[TFFKAMM]

Use a mass destruction of land and people to solidify a political power base. Stalin would be proud of this creep.

[Rb ver. 2.0]

Global Warming was specifically created as a political religion to do what normal politics can't, that is erase the Right.
