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.

Is it a coincidence that the climate change nuts think all of the Conservative areas will be completely ruined, but the liberal areas will survive?
We are the ones with the guns.
Fool.
He might as well head for Roswell to wait for the mother ship.
After all the useless laws, taxes, ideas, speeches, TV shows, movies, carbon credits, treaties, Pacific Island meetings, polar bear pictures, crying, lies, and books, the left will be still blaming the right for every thing.

Thirty four years down the tubes. It sure didn’t happen over night. Dave must have been fooling himself all those years earning awards. Journalism school leads some over the precipice. This doesn’t even begin to address the web site and impeachment issues. This boy is infected and isn’t ever going to recover even when the doom and gloom doesn’t happen.
The same as whatever makes Al Gore an expert. I have no idea.
Mr. Lindoof (sp intentional) proves himself to be just another typical delusional (and dreaming) leftist loon. Nothing new here.
Earth to Lindoof: Dream on!
A future disaster scenario that’s closer to reality is that the north will continue to get colder during the winter while costs for heating fuel continue to rise above affordability, and while northerners (mostly lefties) continue to migrate SOUTH. We’ve already got too damn many lefties down here now! Yech!!!
So, essentially, Mr. Lindoof may be doing us southerner conservatives a favor by spewing his enviro-whacko mythology. Hopefully, most of the lefties will believe it and stay up north. (maybe now I’m dreaming?)
I have to wonder about a paper that would publish such BS.
In a national disaster, it will always be the conservative who will survive. (Think the Democrat-intensive Katrina areas.)
It is a conservative who can survive. They know how to shoot, hunt, fish, grow, build and repair.
Dave Lindorff is a total Socialist hack and he’s very popular on the Indymedia sites (where lunacy is the order of the day). Hard to believe ANY newspaper would hire this imbecile.
Al Gore actually did invent something -- global warming.
The cold civil war seems to be warming up just a little bit.
He’s much older than 34, as you can see in the pic above. Wikipedia has him at 58.

As to his, Boston, New York and Philadelphia will be protected by 'dikes' -- I ain't even going there.
Actually, if we can just avoid massive anti-capitalist intervention in the next 2-3 years, GW could end up being the “threat” that saves us from the Left when it is totally exposed as a hoax. The backlash to all this will be substantial.
I want to stick the toilet plunger on his head.
“The area that will by completely inundated by the rising ocean...as well as goodly portions of eastern Georgia, ... .”
Great! If I hold out long enough, I’ll have ocean-front property. :`)
LOL! So, a left-wing goof with an MS in Journalism thinks that large coastal sections of the US will be under water in the next 10 years or so?
He’s not the fool, the idiot that signs his paycheck is the fool.
