Arnold Schwarzenegger unveils dramatic climate change map which shows flooded

Daily Mail ^ | Dec. 3, 2009

The map, named CalAdapt, which was revealed at a press conference on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay by Mr Schwarzenegger and Google CEO Eric Schmidt, was created as part of a plan for the state to adapt to global warming. 'Within a century, Treasure Island, this place where we are right now, could be totally under water,' the governor said. 'It is technology in the end that will save us.'

Though California leads the U.S. in its legal mandate to cut greenhouse gases, Mr Schwarzenegger explained how $2.5 trillion of property and assets were still at threat from climate change. He said that the state's first report into adapting to climate change showed that a longer dry season has worsened the risk of wildfires, and a smaller winter snowpack is affecting water supplies. The map, which is available to view on a specially created website (www.climatechange.ca.gov), was accompanied by an animated video that showed how the state would change over time.

Mr Schwarzenegger argued in the film that cutting carbon dioxide emissions would not be enough.

'We must also be prepared for some continued climate change, which is now inevitable,' he said

Global warming: California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger puts his hand on the map over San Francisco's Treasure Island to show how it could be submerged in just a century

Is Arnold going into the very lucrative global warming business after his governator biz is over?

And how is my money gonna stop something that has happened a gazillionmiilion times before....

Coming from a dope that flies everyday from LA to Sacramento and back. Ya sure Arnold!

>>And how is my money gonna stop something that has happened a gazillionmiilion times before....<<

If you put your thumb at just right distance from your face and close one eye, you can blot it out.

That will have as much effect on global warming as half your salary going to the green grifters...

At least he can be proven a fool after he’s dead.

[Sacajaweau]

All we did in California was trade one jerk for another.

[NurdlyPeon]

The steroids must be finally rotting this guys brain. Either that or liberalism is finally rotting his brain.

[EricT.]

My first instinct is to laugh hysterically at this nonsense.

My second instinct is to ask if this is as bad as the Warm Earth Society tells us, isn't a century or more enough time to get out of the way of the rising water?

First off I would be doing some digging to find out if Arnold has been investing taxpayer dollars in carbon trading scams. Then I would ask him if he would like to explain this crap.

Research fraud spurs CARB member to call for truck rule suspension. It appears Christmas may be coming early for truckers this year.

A brewing scandal at the California Air Resources Board has resulted in one CARB board member calling for the suspension of CARB’s most expensive truck rule to date.

According to emails posted at www.killcarb.org, a CARB board member unearthed the scandal that top agency officials had managed to keep quiet for more than a year by asking Nichols and other CARB board members about the research and qualifications of agency employee Hien T. Tran.

One blog post by The San Diego Tribune revealed a photo of the address listed for Thornhill University, the New York school from which Tran claimed he gained his doctoral degree. The building in the picture is a small United Postal Service storefront.

Just offshore from Arnold's hand is a huge, White Shark (over which Arnold has just chosen to jump!).

As much as this Californian and scientist hates stupidity, willful ignorance is far worse.

We could ask Arnold to dress up as his Terminator character to fight man-made climate change; they both have about the same degree of reality.

If this is true then I completely support global warming.

Either that or liberalism is finally rotting his brain.

One of these climate frauds has "pictures" or "recordings" of this buffoon. No other explanation for this impecably stupid timing. The moron must have seen Al Gore and Obama trying to reschedule their GW appearances in light of Climategate. What does the dolt do? Come up with another piece of propaganda!

[Bullish]

Arnold is beginning to make Grey Davis seem smart AND ethical by comparison.

[pogo101]

I’ll start acting like it’s a crisis,

when the people telling me “It’s a crisis!”,

start acting like it’s a crisis.

[muawiyah]

The GW crowd imagines that people are so stupid they will stand in place as the water rises around them.

That's what they would do of course.

[my small voice]

dumbass

[cripplecreek]

LOL like the geniuses in New Orleans who’s first reaction to kneedeep water was to steal that flatscreen they’ve had their eye on.

The CARB credentials situation is fairly common in many official government bodies. Any time you look at a government job announcement and it says "college degree" or equivalent in experience, watch out ~ that means no college degree will be required for the position ~ and there's a good chance whoever is selected will not have one, or, will actually have a fake one.

Homeland Security had that happen to them repeatedly in the early days. In one case a position which obviously required someone with a doctorate was being occupied by one of the individuals who'd been involved in an earlier scandal involving lost Algore emails at the White House. I don't believe she had any kind of degree. At the same time she'd hired on other people without degrees.

All kind of nasty.

USPS is rife with this nonsense and it is a rare day anyone is investigated to prove they have the degrees claimed to get a job. Commerce Department has been a joke since the day it was created, and then there's Transportation. Your lives are in the hands of agency bureaucrats who may or may not have educations, but who knows since no one checks.
