\o/ , RUN !!!!!!!
Hire some Dutch consultants.
Water not rising; ground is sinking.
If you can’t withstand a one foot increase in sea level then you built in the wrong place and you chose POORLY. History teaches us that sea levels rise and fall over time.
There’s that word “could” again in a global warming story. They are also getting better at stating unverifiable dates. They must have learned from the IPCC fiasco of the 50 million climate refugees due to rising sea levels in 2005, 2010 and 2015 never happening.
,,,and monkeys COULD fly out of my ass.
ZERO TRAVEL APPROVALS FOR GLOBAL CLIMATE CON-MEN.
Require that they all tele-commute from home.
No ritzy hotels, no dinners out, no conferences in exotic locals.
I like how they can’t accurately predict out one to five days yet we are supposed to believe they can accurately assess ten twenty or one hundred years..
Bernie Sanders: Climate Change is Directly Related To Terrorism
by Michelle Fields
Nov 14, 2015
“In fact, climate change is directly related to the growth of terrorism,” said Sanders.
“And if we do not get our act together and listen to what the scientists say, you’re going to see counties all over the world...they’re going to be struggling over limited amounts of water, limited amounts of land to grow their crops, and you’re going to see all kinds of international conflict.”
Sanders said at the second Democratic debate in Iowa that climate change poses the biggest threat to America’s national security and to security of the world. ...”
Scare the people enough so you can create thousands and thousands more “necessary” government jobs, “grants”, subsidies, regulations, mandates, ect., ect.
When, even if you must “do something” the tons of “sustainability” and “green” projects are a multi-billion dollar waste compared to the already proven means others (like the Dutch) have been doing for centuries - dikes.
> Climate change could ravage waterfront by 2100 <
Does the headline include a scary prediction? Check.
Does it include a word a like “could” or “might”? Check.
Does it include a long time frame? Check.
Does it include a victim group, like “the children”, who will be especially harmed? No.
Sorry Press-Herald, close but no cigar. Try harder next time.
All of these articles have the same formula. State in the first two sentences that something “may” or “could” or “might” happen. Then state everything in the result as a fact. By then of the article, the facts remain in the mind of the reader, not the hypothetical “maybe”.
Jane Fonda sounds climate change alarm in Toronto
The Star ^ | July 4, 2015 | Christopher Reynolds
“The climate change problem is the issue of our civilization. It will affect everything about our lives if we don’t do something about it,” she [Jane Fonda] says.
___________________________________________________
November 22, 1970 — During a fund-raising tour for GI deserters, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and the Black Panthers, Jane Fonda is quoted in the Detroit Free Press as telling a University of Michigan audience:
“I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would someday become communist,” and “The peace proposal of the Viet Cong is the only honorable, just, possible way to achieve peace in Vietnam.”

“The environment is suffering damage that could be irreversible — global warming, the greenhouse effect, the melting of the polar ice caps, the rising sea level, hurricanes — with terrible social occurrences that will shake life on this planet.”
“I believe this idea has a strong connection with reality. I don’t think we have much time. Fidel Castro said in one of his speeches I read not so long ago, ‘tomorrow could be too late, let’s do now what we need to do’.”
“I believe it is time that we take up with courage and clarity a political, social, collective and ideological offensive across the world — a real offensive that permits us to move progressively, over the next years, the next decades, leaving behind the perverse, destructive, destroyer, capitalist model and go forward in constructing the socialist model to avoid barbarism and beyond that the annihilation of life on this planet.”
—Hugo Chavez, at the 16th World Festival of Youth and Students, held in Caracas on August 8-15, 2005
Bin Laden blasts US for climate change
CAIRO – Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden has called for the world to boycott American goods and the U.S. dollar, blaming the United States and other industrialized countries for global warming, according to a new audiotape released Friday.
In the tape, broadcast in part on Al-Jazeera television, bin Laden warned of the dangers of climate change and says that the way to stop it is to bring “the wheels of the American economy” to a halt.
I’m thinkin’ that would be an improvement. Kinda like a tornado in a trailer park?
“Charles Manson, the notorious cult leader, has broken a 20-year silence in an interview from his prison cell to warn the world of an impending apocalypse due to global warming.

“Everyone’s God and if we don’t wake up to that there’s going to be no weather because our polar caps are melting because we’re doing bad things to the atmosphere,” he said.
“The automobiles and fossil fuels are destroying the atmosphere and we won’t have air to breathe.
the comments reflect the locals concern on all this, which is close to zero.
“plans that would be designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050.”
Where? In China? India?
