Say what you will about the looming catastrophe facing the world as the pace of global heating and polar melting accelerates. There is a silver lining.
Look at a map of the US.
The area that will by completely inundated by the rising oceanand not in a century but in the lifetime of my two catsare the American southeast, including the most populated area of Texas, almost all of Florida, most of Louisiana, and half of Alabama and Mississippi, as well as goodly portions of eastern Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. While the northeast will also see some coastal flooding, its geography is such that that aside from a few projecting sandbars like Long Island and Cape Cod, the land rises fairly quickly to well above sea level. Sure, Boston, New York and Philadelphia will be threatened, but these are geographically confined areas that could lend themselves to protection by Dutch-style dikes. The West Coast too tends to rise rapidly to well above sea level in most places. Only down in Southern California towards the San Diego area is the ground closer to sea level.
So what we see is that huge swaths of conservative America are set to face a biblical deluge in a few more presidential cycles.
Then theres the matter of the Midwest, which climate experts say is likely to face a permanent condition of unprecedented drought, making the place largely unlivable, and certainly unfarmable. The agribusinesses and conservative farmers that have been growing corn and wheat may be able to stretch out this doomsday scenario by deep well drilling, but west of the Mississippi, the vast Ogallala Aquifer that has allowed for such irrigation is already being tapped out. It will not be replaced.
So again, we will see the decline and depopulation...

Liberals admitting they plan to use gerrymandering to take away political rights from Real Americans. We’ve got them Now!
Creepy is right.
Even if this totally outlandish scenario were to come true, do they believe that we would simply wait for the water to wash over us?
Fact is, I would personally and happily do some creative “depopulating” of my own. Liberalism is a mental disorder...
The debate is over. "Mother Earth" is now a flaming member of the Democrat Party...
The Almanac estimates world pop. at 200 million in 1 AD. Now, it’s 6 billion. Throw in several wars and one can plainly that all life on earth was wiped out several centuries ago. Go hang yerself sh-thead fore something awful wipes yer skinny ass out.
Not so fast Bud, We will just have to move North and claim liberal land.
Assuming they're kittens, that means within about 15 years unless they're not house cats and I'm driving thru his neighborhood............
Just for lets say it did happen, which it won’t, where does this idiot think his food comes from? His water? Even his electricity? It isn’t from the big lefty cities. And then on top of that, who is it that is armed in America? It isn’t the moron who wrote this article. When push comes to shove, the guy without any personal protection gets the short end of the deal...
Needs Laugh Alert.
These yokels are soooooooooo stupid, all we can do is laugh at them.
Chemical or physical, a straitjacket and padded room are in this guys future.
LOL
Man, this guy has been inhalin' too many "greenhouse gases". Cuts off the oxygen...
“Say what you will about the looming catastrophe facing the world....”
‘kay. It is total bull$hit.
Global warming is a scam.
Wonder how old his cats are. Seriously this is a man with a mental problem.
Wow. George Carlin has NOT aged well. ;)
Why can't I convince any of these pinheads to make a little bet with me on the topic? Money held by a trusted third party, of course. Like they'd pay up when they're proven wrong...
So what we see is that huge swaths of conservative America are set to face a biblical deluge in a few more presidential cycles.
Wrong! what this retard doesn’t get is that the (Soo-Called) rising tide will wipe out all the Populated citys along ALL of the Coastline, meaning the Most Liberal ones...Los Angeles and Sanfrancisco will be drowned...leaving California in the Hands of Conservatives
and likewise Florida, and New York.....
