Ice is melting in Alaska in mid-August - it's global warming!
The "chronic flooding" in coastal areas mentioned is what happens when you build communities on barrier islands and floodplains with elevations of three to four feet.

Yes, saltwater intrusion is caused by overpumping. The freshwater sits on top of the saltwater in essentially a lens. if you overpump, you destroy the lens and get mixing of salt water and fresh water. Unfortunately it can take the lens years to recover once that happens.
It’s true - look at how bad the hurricanes have been the last 10 years.
Gee the glacier was actually melting?! It is a fact that they do that from time to time, Idiot!
A scientific journal article over a month ago predicted a mini ice age in 20-30 years. And there was much documentation to prove the point.
15,000 years ago there was climate change. It caused last ice age. It was followed by global warming which melted all those ice glaciers and formed the largest body of fresh water on earth...we call it The Great Lakes!
Climate change has been going on for Billions of years and it will keep going on after humanity has become extinct.
Glaciers melt and glaciers re-freeze. Is that news to this guy?
Right. Because we all know how global warming defies gravity, allowing some parts of an ocean to rise more than other parts (tides excepting of course.)
-——She also observed that people from the Tampa Bay area and South Florida are already migrating inland to get away from chronic flooding and saltwater-——
My Senile senator is an idiot...
People are moving inland for three reasons...
Saltwater intrusion is caused by too much fresh water pumping....
Flood insurance has sky rocketed...
Flooding is caused by piss poor planning in new developments...
Global warming, climate change isn’t the reason...
I want to see a photo of this dork standing at the edge of one of those.
Liars lie, and then lie to get out of the lie they told.
Two thoughts on this. First, someone should explain to this guy, maybe using crayons and small words, that glaciers have to melt. If they did not, they would have long ago over-run the earth. Oh, that's right, they have done that. We called it an ice age. In non-ice age times glaciers melt and calve. All perfectly natural Mr. Nelson. Second, maybe someone should remind Mr. Nelson that August is summer time in the northern hemisphere, and any melting would probably be at it's peak and very noticeable right about then.
He also recalled how Alton Road in Miami Beach was flooded during high tide before million-dollar pumps were installed.
Yeah, google it. Apparently it has long been prone to flooding from rains and tides because it is basically on a sand bar and...
The neighborhood is often inundated by rain or even just high tides, as the southwest area is among the lowest-lying land in Miami Beach.
Well friggin' duh! Climate change my lily white ...
That's what is supposed to happen at "the edges" of glaciers. It's what enables them to slide ever so slowly downhill, and where they melt they often create streams and lakes or the fresh water runs into fjords. Alaskans have been making money for ages letting tourists see glaciers calve as they slowly slip downhill.
So Nelson, can you explain to me the difference between glaicers melting because they have been doing that steadily since the ice age ended, glaciers melting because of a slight increase in carbon dioxide, and glaciers melting because its summer? How can I tell them apart?
When did this ‘RAT dumbass become a scientist?
Glaciers typically have torrents of water at their terminus....pressure and warmer temperatures. What an incredible maroon!
I live in the Tampa Bay area ... my backyard ends at a saltwater stream... it's been at the same level (high and low tides) for the many years I've been here...
Is it me, or does Nelson look vaguely animatronic when he speaks?
HERETIC! BURN THE HERETIC!
Don’t you know that Florida never flooded before the white man? The world was a paradise of dancing gators and friendly panthers capering with the native peoples who lived in perfect harmony with their mother earth. Filled with an overabundance of natural resources, there was no war, no disease; in fact, no natives actually died before the white man’s invasion!
The white man brought disease, violence and death to destroy the native peoples and immediately began to change the weather to drown their peaceful villages. The sun burned hotter because the white skin reflected the sunlight, and the swamps teemed with poisonous reptiles that spontaneously evolved from the corrupted earth. The innocent natives had no chance, so they built casinos to stave off the depredations, but alas, it was too late. The casinos were no match for the climate change and the natives drank themselves in to oblivion.
Let me guess...
“Florida...and it’s summertime...gimme a minute Alex...I’d like to answer this...”
“What is hot as hell?”
Well, winter is around the corner and soon we’ll hear about global cooling - more climate change. Seems to happen every year...
