As Sea Level Rises, Idiot Rick Scott Continues to Ignore Climate Change

Blah, blah, blah...climate change...blah, blah, blah...CO2...blah, blah, blah...evil republicans...blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

You and crock-o-shit are the two biggest broken records around. Every post has the same theme: end of the world because of climate change caused by something that some republican somewhere did or did not do. If only they would ban CO2 completely and make everyone drive around in electric cars powered by fairy dust.

If only you didn't have such myopic vision and single mindedness you might be able to think for yourself (instead of being spoonfed by other leftists) and discover that there is more to it than CO2, climate change and sea level rise.

Here's a hint for you: subsidence.

Here's a link for you so you don't get off track and end up in another leftist echo chamber:

Land subsidence, USGS Water Science School

Here is a homework problem for you: what do you suppose happens when coastal land subsides?

And I'd wager $100 that you wouldn't say a word about it if there was a democrat running Florida and he/she was doing the same as Rick Scott.

Why not show you're not biased towards the political left by giving equal time to stupid democrats instead of exclusively posting about stupid republicans? Once you start to take the blinders off, you'll see both sides are mirrors of each other.

:2 cents:

Those one sided or double standard applying people are just low IQ types, because normal IQ type would see both sides and would look at things objectively, even if they support one of the sides.

Do you live in Canada? When it comes to US politics maybe you should stfu.

I'm waiting for the stupid Republican outing by Squealer & mineistaken..

Why bother with you? The left has just as as many idiots as the right. The difference between you and myself is that I don't live in a world of tunnel vision, I don't spent my days seeking out information to enable myself to continually chant "see, the problem is over there" while ignoring any and all information that suggests that only 1/2 the problem is and most importantly, I don't deny my own bias, nor do I attack others for theirs as its a part of who we are.... I just make fun of the obvious one-sidedness of the arguments themselves.

NOTHING I say will ever make you say "you know what, Republicans so a lot of great things and Democrats do a lot of horrible things"... so I'd have to be an idiot to be baited into a discussion like that knowing full well that you are not mature enough to question your own views, nor are you receptive of, or even tolerant of the opinions of others who hold different views than your own.

Mark, You say 2030 (15 years from now) that there will be billions in flood damage that is directly connected to the rise is sea levels.

Yet to this day there is no true accurate # as to how much it is rising, if it is increasing/decreasing or the rate that can be used to project the rise over time.

As reported just yesterday..

Bias in satellite measurements hid recent sea level rise acceleration | Ars Technica

"If we add up all our estimates of deposits to and withdrawals from the sea level bank account (things like melting glaciers, the expansion of warming seawater, and changes in the amount of water on land) we get 2.8 ± 0.5 millimeters per year— which suddenly looks a little better. (The tide gauge record comes in at about 2.7 millimeters per year, by the way.)"

So in 15 years that puts it in at 40.5 millimeters or 1.6 inches. I think it is safe to assume that if 1.6 inch rise is rather small when you consider normal sea wave high and tides etc..

But maybe Tesla will start making amphibious electric cars.

This article is just a one sided political attack piece.

And all politicians would treat this exactly the same way: There's no money to be made here. Move on.

We're fine in Florida. Thank you very much. We have the dumbest governor and politicians you could ask for. Weather is great so come on down and we will shoot your ass.

********** knows what's best for Florida. he visited there once.

It would be an instant classic if one guy was holding a snowball above his head..

Rick Scott's beachfront home in Naples is ONE FOOT above sea level.

My house on Pine Island is 7 feet above sea level.

********** and crockett are in that clusterfuck somewhere.

what were those figures 20 years ago.... any idea?

I really have no idea from 20 years ago. My house is about the same as 12 years ago based on building codes at the time. The link below has the Ft Myers area and Scott's house.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh - Rick Scott did pull off a fairly hefty medicare scam (Thanks for that info L-Pink) if I remember correctly. Before he was gov... Then the sun and mosquitoes got to him.

http://www.politifact.com/florida/st...-medicare-fra/

He scams Medicare then get's elected by a state full of seniors. I don't get it.


.

He spent 70+million bucks of his own money.

Do you live in Canada? Maybe you should shut the fuck about American politics...

For a position that pays $130,000. And he refused all but 1 cent of the money.

huh ........... ?

I'm not a Rick Scott fan but he was elected and I'll deal with it. Going all partisan only seems to make matters worse.

:1orglaugh was gonna say it sounded like the op didn't know too much about florida :1orglaugh

Personally if anyone votes or doesn't vote for someone based on climate change issues they are a twatwaffle. Don't get me wrong. I realize these issues are important and we ALL need to be aware of them. However there are wars going on, children starving. people getting killed and a lot of other much more important issues that we need to be judging our politicians by.
