And yet another "nutter" thread from the AGW/far left cult.

Lucky for the urban dwellers elected officials from both sides of the aisle (but not the fringe) are planning for a worse case scenario.

Responsible elected officials and eyes wide open citizens are planning for the next generations needs. The "I got mine, fuck the rest of you (alive today or in the future) crowd, care not.

Al Gore's mansion in Tennessee for sure.

 

[JWBooth]

Ain't happening.

As I wrote above, responsible people and responsible elected officials plan for the worst case scenario:

Those above those levels will probably get so slammed by freak weather no one will feel left out. Kind of like an amusement park ride from Hell.

I was reading something somewhere (sorry for lack of link) of the 10 greatest threats to national security and high on the list was the fact that we are not going to have satellites which will give us early warning for catastrophic storms.

Guess I could have done this before I posted:

[Politico]

None of them.

The correct answer is "none." Even the IPCC estimates that sea level will not increase by more than 18 inches in the next 100 years.

So should we plan for a scenario where we are all wiped out by an asteroid the size of Mt Everest? That would be the worst case scenario, wouldn't it?

Wasn't it just last week that Abraham, GoldiRocks and resident religious warmers were telling us that NO ONE is crazy enough to make projections like this??? 2 Days from now -- the warmer denialists will be back to saying that NO ONE is making hysterical predictions that are not gonna happen..

The hysteria is out there. CONSTANTLY...

And that graph is mighty fucked up if they think that San Francisco and South London go way before New Orleans.. Last time I checked, Lombard Street is pretty high up there at the twisty top..

Nature's own urban renewal!

I really should get behind global warming but I don't want to take up smoking.

None from "climate change". Other causes maybe, but not that silly fraud.

 

[ScienceRocks]

I expect none...

With the California fault lines, it may be sooner than 100 years. We've heard this prediction forever.

As I wrote above, responsible people and responsible elected officials plan for the worst case scenario:

Actually, the don't, numskull. For example, it's possible a level 10 Earthquake could occur in California. According to you that means RESPONSIBLE elected officials are imposing building codes that require buildings to withstand such a temblor. The reality is that they aren't because the cost of such buildings would be astronomical. Few cities on the Gulf or Atlantic coasts are designed to withstand a level 5 hurricane, even though such hurricanes occur fairly often. Planning against the worst case scenario doesn't make economic sense, so RESPONSIBLE elected officials don't do it. They plan against scenarios that have a reasonable possibility of occurring.

 

[S.J.]

This has to rank among the silliest OPs on this bogus subject yet.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Let me guess....we have to stop emitting CO2

 

[Stephanie]

More the sky is falling...That's all their crystal balls speak..It's like a cult that cries wolf all the time

so maybe you warmers can put those cities on stilts? relocate them? come back from the dead to save everyone?
