Climate Denier Hard To Refute

[Ex-California]

A team of EPA lawyers are about to load up on some latte and sue the Snow Miser back to the fucking Stone Age.

There's a small dam where Tahoe empties into the Truckee River, ostensibly built and designed to protect expensive lakefront homes. Like the one on Godfather 2

So, the EPA think it can tell nature when to stop? God complex much?

Or, could be that the journalist/intern who wrote that headline wrote "legal limit"... without the story actually being about that.

So in English, no excuse.

When future generations look back on the global-warming scare of the past 30 years, nothing will shock them more than the extent to which the official temperature records – on which the entire panic ultimately rested – were systematically “adjusted” to show the Earth as having warmed much more than the actual data justified.

If the ocean levels are going to rise, then why are the banks sitting on the most capital in human history lending so much of that capital out to real estate development of coastal cities? Why are the big insurers insuring skyscrapers in Manhattan?

Nobody with money acts like they believe this. That's for sure. And those guys have access to the best independent researchers.

[The Conservative]

Why is this news? Seriously, anyone with a brain figured this out...This is why I have always had an issue with using data that can't be verified. "Because the original data was deleted" it can't be verified... is their response.

Know what, if it can't be verified, it's junk science. The problem is that the majority of all reports out today are using that junk science, and we are being penalized for it.

Try getting flood insurance in Florida. And re-read your question about skyscrapers.

Florida was made from swampland...

Florida is a former sandbar. And will return to one.

Modern corporations are sociopaths that care little beyond the next quarter. Have you forgotten 2007 already? They all knew the loans were crap, they were just depending on not getting caught with them when the music stopped. There's no way these guys would even consider 20-50 years out. They know they'll be long gone with their loot. The recent announcement they'll be better citizens is really just admission they've been sociopaths. Unlikely to change.

You know who is REALLY planning for climate change & sea level rise? The Pentagon. For all their faults, they're realists when it comes to shit like this. This report is just about their bases, not the global instability challenges.

This report represents a high-level assessment of the vulnerability of DoD installations to
five climate/weather impacts: recurrent flooding, drought, desertification, wildfires, and thawing
permafrost. From a resources perspective, DoD is incorporating climate resilience as a crosscutting
consideration for our planning and decision-making processes, and not as a separate program or
specific set of actions.

Some impacts are closely related or intensify the effects of each other (e.g., drought,
desertification, wildfire), whereas others are somewhat related (e.g., coastal flooding driven by
changing sea level can impact river conveyance, compounding riverine flood levels for tidallyinfluenced rivers).
Taken together, however, these impacts help describe the overallvulnerabilities to DoD installations from
changing future conditions.

About two-thirds of the 79 installations addressed in this report are vulnerable to current
or future recurrent flooding and more than one-half are vulnerable to current or future drought.
About one-half are vulnerable to wildfires. It is important to note that areas subject to wildfire
may then experience serious mudslides or erosion when rains follow fires. Impacts are dispersed
around the country. Not surprisingly, impacts vary by region for coastal flooding, with greater
impacts to the East coast and Hawaii than the West coast. Desertification vulnerabilities are
limited to the sites on the list with arid soils; these are in California, New Mexico, and Nevada.
Drought vulnerabilities are more widely dispersed across the country. Wildfire and recurrent
flooding impacts are the most widely dispersed.
