All of these people (bureaucrats, scribes, educrats) need to find honest work.
Perhaps they are saying areas experiencing subsidence will have faster rising sea levels? Who knows?
Well that makes the probability of Seattle flooding from rising sea level very remote.
.....or monkeys could fly out my butt...............
uh huh
they wouldn’t know how to find such work and couldn’t perform such work if they did.
LOL.
Ya know, Pol Pot wasn’t all bad. After all, he did send school teachers, the intelligentsia, and other elites to work in the fields.
and now their bones are religious shrines.
“The homes would flood if local sea levels rise at least six feet due to the warming climate.”
Current DAILY tidal range in Seattle is 11 feet.
If your home is vertically closer to the ocean at high tide than the daily tidal change, you’re gonna lose it just from big waves or storm surges within a few years.
I say that In the year 2525. If man is still alive. If woman can survive, they may find In the year 3535....
Don’t worry they used the word “Could”
From the Michael Crichton speech at Caltech, “Aliens cause global warming”.
“”Stepping back, I have to say the arrogance of the model-makers is breathtaking. There have been, in every century, scientists who say they know it all. Since climate may be a chaotic system-no one is sure-these predictions are inherently doubtful, to be polite. But more to the point, even if the models get the science spot-on, they can never get the sociology. To predict anything about the world a hundred years from now is simply absurd.
Look: If I was selling stock in a company that I told you would be profitable in 2100, would you buy it? Or would you think the idea was so crazy that it must be a scam?
Let’s think back to people in 1900 in, say, New York. If they worried about people in 2000, what would they worry about? Probably: Where would people get enough horses? And what would they do about all the horse****?
Horse pollution was bad in 1900, think how much worse it would be a century later, with so many more people riding horses? But of course, within a few years, nobody rode horses except for sport.
And in 2000, France was getting 80% its power from an energy source that was unknown in 1900. Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and Japan were getting more than 30% from this source, unknown in 1900. Remember, people in 1900 didn’t know what an atom was.
They didn’t know its structure. They also didn’t know what a radio was, or an airport, or a movie, or a television, or a computer, or a cell phone, or a jet, an antibiotic, a rocket, a satellite, an MRI, ICU, IUD, IBM, IRA, ERA, EEG, EPA, IRS, DOD, PCP, HTML, internet. interferon, instant replay, remote sensing, remote control, speed dialing, gene therapy, gene splicing, genes, spot welding, heat-seeking, bipolar, prozac, leotards, lap dancing, email, tape recorder, CDs, airbags, plastic explosive, plastic, robots, cars, liposuction, transduction, superconduction, dish antennas, step aerobics, smoothies, twelve-step, ultrasound, nylon, rayon, teflon, fiber optics, carpal tunnel, laser surgery, laparoscopy, corneal transplant, kidney transplant, AIDS. None of this would have meant anything to a person in the year 1900. They wouldn’t know what you are talking about.
Now. You tell me you can predict the world of 2100. Tell me it’s even worth thinking about. Our models just carry the present into the future. They’re bound to be wrong. Everybody who gives a moment’s thought knows it.”
Kansas comes to mind. Bwahaha...
Nearly all of Seattle (saltwater) waterfront is owned or occupied by industrial concerns. The only residential neighborhood that I can think of is Alki - and even if the water level was to rise 6 feet (profoundly unlikely), it would only affect about 500 families.
Most of Seattle residential waterfront is freshwater in the form of Lake Washington, which is separated from the Puget Sound by locks. That magical 6 foot water rise would have no effect.
As usual the left lies.
Alinsky . . handbook for radicals.
an evil little book.
Of course, no facts to support the hysteria.
Look at NOAA’s own official sea level rise charts for Seattle.
https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station.shtml?stnid=9447130
Sea levels in Seattle rise .61 feet per century. Not real good at math, but to go up six feet it will take something like 1100 years.
And I could be alive to see it, the probability of either happening is slim to none.
Climate change = garbage in, garbage out...
I thought there were millions underwater after the housing bubble busting?
