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.

Actually in a natural disaster the conservatives survive by taking action and the lefties perish waiting for FEMA to save them.
the right wing will be wiped out by global warming
and the left will abort themselves to death....
in the words of the brilliant lefty, Dr. Elders..
.."we all gotta die from somethin'"
I don't see any science degrees. What makes this loon any kind of expert on climatology?
The goal has always been to decrease the consumption and standard of living of the industrialized West and the US in particular. The “scientific basis” may have changed, but the goal remains the same.
Lin-Dorff on Golf ball Warming....
Nothing despotic or tyrannical about that quote, no siree, just good old American justice. If they don't think the way you do then don't let 'em vote./SAR
Lefties must never sit back and read what they write or listen to what they say.
To start with: If man made global warming, or any type of global warming, were true, and I don't believe for a minute it is, then what is this guy doing about it? Does he drive a car? Does he use electricity? Does he breathe air(gotta wonder about that last one sometimes)? Is he foregong all modern conviences in the name of climate control? I really doubt it. So where does he get off blaming conservatives for something everyone, the world over, is doing?
What a jerk this guy is.
This is what passes for “journalism” these days? Looks like all the smart columnists have made their escape from the dying newspapers, which have resorted to scraping the bottom for content. What a sad note to end on for a once revered industry.
Good point.
You expected anything less from the Baltimore Sun ?
He’d never be around to see it. His dying breed will have euthanized themselves long beforehand with all their self genociding death cult “lifestyle” & “choice” practices.
The idiot is clueless. We have all the food. We have all the mineral resources. We have a good deal of the factories and mills...*They* have concrete warrens.
What a moron! Does this idiot think we’re just gonna stand our ground and drown. This assumes that there is such a thing in the making. The arrogance and stupidity of these people is never ending.
I see ... so the American southeast, 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 “will by completely inundated by the rising ocean”, but so-called “climate experts” say the midwest “is likely to face a permanent condition of unprecedented drought, making the place largely unlivable, and certainly unfarmable.”
Looks like the DUmmies will be transporting water from the flood areas to the drought areas in their Priuses.
More love and good vibrations from a member of the “Party of Only Peace” (POOP).
Will anyone vouch for the accuracy of the underlying premise that it’s the areas that conservatives live that will be underwater if the oceans rise?
My gut tells me that since most of the population lives near the oceans, and in cities near the oceans, that it is the cities and their BLUE residents who will be underwater.
New York and San Francisco come to mind immediately
What do you call a homosexual up to his neck in water anyway?
