The Sea’s Rising

Sometime awhile back the State appointed a Commission of Scientists who set to work to figure out how much the seas are rising and last week the commission announced its conclusion: Science proves the Atlantic Ocean is going to rise exactly 39 inches (over the next century) and if the folks in Morehead City and Wilmington know what’s good for them they’ll get busy and pass new zoning laws to require building new homes on high land.

Well, naturally, that set off an uproar among the folks who make their living building (and selling) beachfront homes – they promptly denounced the scientists then sent to Raleigh for help so next the politicians got into the act, promptly passing a bill that said the scientists were all wet writing in stone (or at least in state law) that no commission anywhere in North Carolina could ever again say the sea will rise 39 inches.

But the basic question seems even simpler: Why on earth do we have state appointed scientists and state paid politicians arguing over the sea’s rising? Wouldn’t it just be simpler, if some fool wants to build a million dollar home on a low lying beach, to not just let him do it and take his chances?

The problem is simple. There is a faction of scientists who are in the ideological clique of Global Warmism. That clique likes to make scary predictions to try to force governments to do what they want. They got exposed in Climategate where they were schemimg agaisnt scientists who disagreed with them and scheming to downplay facts (''hide the decline'') that were inconvenient to their theories. The American MSM tries to present their theories as fact. The British press has exposed many misrepresentations and frauds in the UN's IPCC reprot, compiled by this faction of scientists.

In the beginning of the Global Warming movements, some of these scientists put out a report on rising sea levels and claimed that there would be millions of refugees from low lying islands by last year due to rise in sea levels. Well, it hasn't happened. That is just oen example of how bogus their scare stories are. They are all a pack of Chicken Littles.

Hooray for the legislature in telling these ninnies to get stuffed.

I just ask people to go to Google and see what various scientists say with regard to "Global Warming". It's almost 50-50. The left uses their "50" to present their ideology, the right uses their "50".

It's really not something anyone truly knows is happening. Me? I studied history and I know that throughout history, global "warming" and global "cooling" has been something that mama Earth has seen for eons. Humans causing problems? Well, I don't think so, but, hey, even if they are, it's not something all of the "green" efforts will change. I mean, c'mon, folks. What is being done to stop the savage cutting of the rain forests that generate our oxygen? Nothing from the "enviornmentalists". Everything is about CO2...a natural gas in our environment. Truth is...it's just ALL ABOUT politics. Nothing more.
