IBT, Jay Cassano and Lon Burnam are all totally full of horse manure, and are also the ones responsible for legislative inaction on flood control.
Sure. As you can see from the article it’s not easy to determine sea level. Land rise and subsidence have to be measured and taken into consideration and that’s just a small portion of the variables at play.
*Chin Holder Alert*
He must be a serious thinker.
The sky is falling!! Zombie apocalypse!! Meteor showers!!
These idiots never stop.
Someone needs to remind dumbass Cassano that hurricanes have been happening since the dawn of time.
They have nothing to do with the fiction of “Climate Change.”
Now aren’t they special .... a special kind of stupid!
They listened to the climate change people predicting endless droughts.
This is beyond stupid. Even if we, for the sake of argument, accept every solitary thing the global warming alarmists have said as absolute truth, that would have nothing to do with this flooding. It was caused by a hurricane - a low pressure system - going on shore and running into a high pressure system that just happened to be in the same area and causing it to become stationary and not be able to move. That's what has caused this flooding - "climate change" has nothing whatsoever to do with those set of facts. If the high pressure system had not been there, the Harvey system would have continued to move and the rain would have been spread out over a much wider area with far less flooding.
They said this same stupid stuff about Hurricane Sandy - which was caused by the direction the storm went in and there just happened to be a Nor'easter system in the area that it absorbed into itself to make it even more powerful and larger than before (its outer bands because of this were actually dumping snow - a hurricane dumping snow) - those sets of circumstances have nothing to do with "climate change" existing one way or the other.
Maybe all that saved water, kept Guam from capsizing. 😀😆😄🇵🇭
That was lie no. 3.
Lie 1: Rising sea levels
Lie 2: Increased rainfall
Lie 3: Experts agree
Lie 4: Climate change made the flooding far worse
I think there is a 5th lie in there somewhere about we couldn’t have had a Cat 4 Hurricane in the Gulf or that Hurricanes never hit Houston (Galvaston anyone) or somethink like that. It’s more of an implied lie, but it’s definitely rattling around in the author’s brain.
Where’s Indianola? Was it a victim of climate change?
Every year around September 8th, I read about the 90 Orphans and 10 nuns lost in the Galveston Hurricane of 1900.
I cry.
Over 6,000 lives lost in that Hurricane.
On a more practical point, what would planning a decade ago have done in the writers progressive mind? You know, the stuff the evil republicans ignored.
I bet no far out progressive proposal back then would have used a 500 year flood event as a worse case scenario...
The period at the end may also constitute a lie....
Total B.S.
The science of GEOLOGY has been reporting why flooding in big hurricanes is getting worse in Houston, and its not “climate change”. It’s how much of Houston has been SINKING.
