They can deed miami beach over to me and I’ll take the hit. For the good of all.
Maybe Henk Ovink should write a song.
Jeez, I thought the alarmists had told us in the 1980s the coastal cities of America would be underwater and, just a couple years ago, they also told us that the Arctic Ocean would be ice free by now.
It would take major league gullibility or an IQ below 85 for anyone to still believe their nonsense and scare tactics.
Sounds like he partakes of Amsterdam’s most famous product on a regular basis.
A liar or an imbecile.
(I’d bet on the later.)
So I take it the (long-term) real estate play here is to buy inland property in FL that will become oceanfront?
Flooding Miami will make Florida more of a red state...
The Dutch are looking for engineering contracts.
To make a sale, you have to convince the potential customer he has a problem that you can solve.
Sea levels have been rising since the end of the last ice age.
yes the sea crept up on atlantis inch by inch over 1,000 years because those dam atlantans would not give up their SUV’s, air conditioning and steaks
we sure don’t want to repeat history!

“... bared down”???? An act of naked aggression, perhaps? Or did this illiterate malapropist mean BORE down? Or even beared down. Anything but “bared ...”
That’s all you hear up here in the Northeast. Sandy was a 50 year or longer storm. You would swear we were getting hit with one every year with the constant hysteria.
Meanwhile, the politicians are still busy stealing the Federal aid while homeowners and business owners are still not rebuilt.
I remember seeing maps and posters on the walls of the hippie communes, showing what the “new coastlines” would be once the flood starts.
THAT was back in the 1980’s.
Same song, different crop of weed.
Remember that coastal America and the Pacific islands like Vanuatu were all supposed to be underwater by 2010?
These people move their forecast dates almost as fast as Obama can move a Red Line.
He is parroting the FReeper bert.
Anyone that watches and observes carefully the opening video sequences of CSI Miami can instantly make that judgement.
The same fools that bought property certain to be ravaged by on high water on Staten Island had foolish cousins buying property certain to be ravaged by high water in Miami
It got naked?
We’ve also heard from the warmunist set that snow would be a memory by now. I guess to that end, they’re somewhat correct.. but every winter, even here in Virginia, that memory is very much a recurring one.
Is this the type of expert that says that the seas are rising quicker than predicted? That would mean that the models are wrong!
Oh gee whiz, Batman!
Central Louisiana is only 85 feet above sea level.
What would that make New Orleans?
Whether sea level rises or falls there will always be flooding storms.
People who build/buy homes on the water are taking a known risk & should pay a hefty insurance premium if they can get insurance at all.
After Hurricane Fredrick in 1979, most of the homes & businesses on the Alabama beaches were destroyed or heavily damaged. There was some talk that insurance companies would no longer insure buildings on the water side of the beach road which was about 100 yards from the water line. Note that the buildings on the beach change the wind patterns & flatten the sand dunes that mitigate the storm surges.
This is exactly what should happen - no more building on the water. The state should have “eminent domained” the entire beach front & left it as a public recreation area. This could be done gradually as homes & businesses where destroyed by future storms, paying the owners fair market value for the property.
Instead, they jacked up insurance rates for the entire state, & allowed the homes, hotels, & businesses back on the beach. Many of these, since Fredrick, have had severe damage, multiple times, from numerous storms, driving insurance premiums sky high for everyone else. Still they are allowed to rebuild their expensive homes, tourist businesses, & now, high rise hotels, subsidized by people who derive no benefit from their existence.
It is redistribution, pure & simple, from the poor & middle class to the rich.
