A real rock from outer space (not manmade climate change) is causing perceived rising seas.
In the Netflix movie, Washington politicians “Don’t Look Up” because they prefer to remain oblivious to a special effects meteor that’s about to obliterate Planet Earth. Not surprisingly, the film is really about our refusal to recognize the “existential threat” of “manmade climate change.”
Director Adam McKay recently tweeted, “We’ve got 6-8 years before the climate is so chaotic we [will] live in a permanent state of biblical catastrophe.”
Not to be outdone, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres called the latest UN climate report “a file of shame, cataloguing the empty pledges that put us firmly on track toward an unlivable world.” Drilling for more oil and gas is “moral and economic madness,” he insisted. If humanity doesn’t stop using fossil fuels, we will be overwhelmed by devastating floods, heat waves, droughts, fires and crop failures.
Global sea levels have already risen “a shocking nine inches,” the PurpleOrange PR Agency proclaimed, promoting a client’s Climate Neutral Certified label, which is designed to channel more money to “authentic, immediate climate action.”
Back on the non-parallel-universe Planet Earth, a truly unlivable world would be one without fossil fuels. Not just to generate electricity, cook food, heat homes and water, and power cars, boats, trains and planes – but for fertilizers and insecticides to grow more food on less land, and for plastics, pharmaceuticals, paints, cosmetics, clothing and other essential products. For us today; for billions more tomorrow.
Fossil fuels to extract and process trillions of tons of raw materials, too, and manufacture the millions of wind turbines, billions of solar panels, billions of battery modules and millions of transmission line towers that would blanket our croplands, scenic areas and wildlife habitats if we didn’t have fossil fuels.
In fact, far worse than a warmer planet with more airborne plant-fertilizing carbon dioxide would be a colder planet with less CO2. That would mean less arable land, shorter growing seasons and much lower crop yields, on top of losses from a devastated Ukraine and sanctioned Russian wheat crops. (Why is it that Twitter twits never cancel, suppress or even fact-check climate fear porn? Why is it never just climate change, but always climate cataclysms? Why always manmade climate change, as though past natural climate changes never happened? Why do Guterres, Gore, Kerry, Biden and AOC always have to top his, her, hir, ver, zir fellow alarmists in hysteria? Why is the fear-mongering always based on computer models, never on actual data and evidence? Why does it always ignore China’s massive fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions?)
One of the prevalent climate alarm themes is sea level rise.
Back on real Earth, if the DC Swamp inhabitants of 35 million years ago had looked up, they’d have been transfixed in their last moments by a non-special-effects meteor hurtling into what is now Cape Charles, Virginia on the Chesapeake Bay. The 2-mile-wide meteor obliterated and pulverized sediments and bedrock, vaporized plants and animals, sent rock fragments hundreds of miles in every direction, and launched tsunamis into West Virginia’s eastern mountain slopes.
Shattered rock settled back into a crater 4,300 feet deep and 53 miles in diameter. Over the ensuing millennia, river and ocean sediments poured into the crater – and mile-high glaciers pulled10-million cubic miles of water out of the oceans, burying half of North America, Europe and Asia under trillions of tons of ice. Land under the ice was pressed down, while land outside the glacial zones was lifted up. Then, some 12,000 years ago, the last Pleistocene glaciers began melting.
Oceans slowly rose – some 400 feet! Land masses underwent “isostatic rebound.” Areas that had been under the ice began rising; those that had bulged upward began sinking. In much of the Chesapeake Bay region, post-glacial subsidence is compounded by continued compression of pulverized crater rock – and by the ongoing withdrawal of groundwater from sedimentary aquifers beneath urban and agricultural areas that depend on groundwater.
The aquifers include layers of porous sandstone (with water between sand grains) interspersed among layers of impermeable but water-soaked shale and clay. As water is pumped out of the sandy layers, the shale-clay layers get squeezed by hundreds of feet of overlying rock and sediment, and their water is forced into the sandstones, and then into pumps. The overlying land steadily subsides.
If it truly represented the AGW ideology the title would be “Don’t Pull Your Head From Your Ass”.
The seagulls have the runs!
(Global sea levels have already risen)
Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria. A Twinkie 35 feet long.
They ought to be concerned with their Global Babylon being defeated by the Messiah.
But they laugh and scoff, for Greta is their true prophet. 🙄🙄🙄
I’m still waiting for the coming Ice Age they told me about in the NY Times 50 years ago.
Aside: had the Israelites been allowed to help designing the manna they might have come up with something like Twinkies.
They would still have a light sweet flavor and folks would still not know what was in them but, boy, what a shelf life!
The whole agenda of this movie was to point out just how powerful normalcy bias can be, and the absolute idiocy of completely ignoring the dangers of an extinction level event caused by a space rock...
As was pointed out, the intent was to wake people up to the dangers of global warming, so people would take it more seriously.
However, one could easily re-purpose the intent of this movie by pointing out the obvious parallels it has with what is going on in real life as it relates to God’s Word... In the Bible.
Time is up... Judgment is coming.
Are you ready?
(The seagulls)
The Crips are raiding the liquor store!
Do not take literally!
I see a couple of gulls...
Kareem of onion!
Al Jarreau!
Had as couple boxes of 24 I bought from Walmart in 1992.
Put them in the kitchen cabinet when I rented a condo style apartment.
Within 2 months there were 48 packages of green fur.
😳
Normalcy bias
Matthew 24:37-39
King James Version
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Luke 17:28-30
King James Version
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

Lets see, in 1972 we were stationed at Fort Rucker, Alabama but only a few more month, than we were transferred to Fort Riley, KS were several years later a big Ice storm came.
So now we have 6 to 8 years before a climate catastrophe, as opposed to Al Gore’s, which has passed, and AOC’s, which is approaching. Do these weinies realize how many bogus predictions have come and gone, including a pending ice age? Why do they think theirs is the authentic one, and better still, why should we buy into it? The fact is we can’t. And we don’t. When and if we hear a valid prediction, how will we know? The climate alarmists have so muddied the water, we will never know. If there is a catastrophe we didn’t anticipate, it’s on them.
They were obviously defective.
I couldn’t believe it.
Opened the cabinet to grab one and.... Yikes

How many people have to die, in Guterres' estimation, to combat this chicken-little nonsense?!
Six to eight years, nine years, ten years, twelve years.... the doomsday prediction changes every day. Is not the Arctic icecap supposed to be gone by now? It has grown. Polar bears extinct? The polar bear population is increasing. Air and water are generally cleaner. There have always been floods, forest fires, earthquakes, hurricanes... it's a violent planet with respect to climate.
Because that's where the money is!
THAT.... is one massive Twinkie.
I don't have much patience for actors who play politics.
Besides, that fool's a high school drop out. He's a hypocrite and he's stupid.
