Understatement of the year.
I googled “sea level change Texas coast”
First link: “Sea level is rising more rapidly along the upper Texas coast than worldwide because some coastal lands are sinking . . .”
This is not a climate change issue; it’s plate tectonics.
Second link: “Scientists predict sea level rise caused by climate change will submerge coastal areas of the United States — yet somehow, this could be an economic boon to Texas . . .”
Again, this is not related to climate change, and they admit the natural change observed will be beneficial.
I have a great deal of respect for science, which is why I am far more offended by those who lie in their scientific work or who use science to promulgate lies than I am by ordinary liars.
Real science: Plate tectonics and solar cycles. Male is XY, female is XX.
Fake Science: Global cooling (the official cause for panic until the late 1970s), but the solution is globalism, big government, and limitations on technology. Global warming (today’s official cause for panic), but the solution is globalism, big government, and limitations on technology. Male and female are fluid, determined by mood, and have nothing to do with chromosomes or biology.
Horse hockey.
That said, Democratic Houston has no zoning laws. Build what you want at the bottom of any flood zone. What could possibly go wrong.
Rescues would go faster if they didn’t have half a million illegals.
Rush noted, I think, if man can manipulate the weather, why don’t we make it rain where there is none? Maybe Dick Cheney kept the secret weather machine.
Right on cue. I could set my watch by this.
If this hurricane was caused by global warming, does that mean the lack of major hurricanes during the prior 117 months was caused by global cooling? Or does global warming cause both hurricanes and the lack of hurricanes?
We are powerless to stop it from changing our climate.
Didn’t they say that sea level rise stopped when Obama was elected?
Oh YES YES YES it's true, it's all HIS fault!
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.
*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.
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.
