Well I guess it will be gone in a year or two :-( At 500,000 years old it had a pretty good run.

I can't let my six year old read this, he will tell me the water that overflowed from the tub did not come from his side. Anyway, it looks pretty close to the water, I would hate to think of what would happen if it got hit by another SUPER STORM SANDY, which, in this super heated world, is a virtual certainty (unless Obama knows something we don't) https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjd14qK4arkAhUlzlkKHUlZDFsQjRx6BAgBEAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Frobbreport.com%2Fshelter%2Fhomes-for-sale%2Fobamas-marthas-vineyard-estate-15-million-2865341%2F&psig=AOvVaw1FlnKawSwsTK8D1fCPyJye&ust=1567260112919944

“The climate and ecological crisis is a global crisis and the biggest crisis humanity has ever faced,” Sound like hysterics to me.

So, are you claiming that inlets, bays and sounds are not affected by sea level rise? Hmmmm.

"No matter how you shake and prance, the last three drops end up in your pants"

When a 16 year old mentally disturbed child (according to her mother) says she is skipping school to save the planet, it gives me pause.

It is typical global warming hysteria; the headline, (you know, the one that gets parroted on every newspaper, NPR broadcast and network TV) says, "Mosquito Habitat: Current and Projected. You have to read, as Paul Harvey would say, "The Rest of the Story" to find out that it is all a bunch of hyped up click bait BS. BTW congratulations on your new Grand Poo Bah of climate change hysterics, the sixteen year old Greta Thornburg.

Like malaria?

Fantasy vs reality https://www.alaska.org/advice/mosquitoes-in-alaska https://contagions.wordpress.com/2012/01/02/malaria-near-the-arctic-circle/ Notice how your cute little map doesn't even have mosquitoes in Alaska until 2080? LOL

More from the author of the Green New Deal Glacier Disease https://www.mrctv.org/videos/rep-ocasio-cortez-climate-change-threatens-unleash-glacier-diseases-frozen-thousands-years I didn't know they did not have mosquitos up north

Only if you live long enough to get it

Oh I get it! That is very clever. Its nice to see you back at the top of your game.

You are right because the laws of hydrodynamics don't apply to Obama.

No I'm saying that if it were seriously a problem, banks would not make loans, and insurance companies would not cover oceanfront properties and folks would not be flocking from the inland safety of Illinois and New York to the dangerous, just-barely-above-sea level, Florida.

Lets get back to the topic of the original post. If I concede (and I don't) that global warming is bad and man is causing it, how will the green new/newer deal fix it?

I looked into it and you are right, according to NASA the rate of sea level rise has increased by a profound .9mm per year. If this were truly a threat it would be reflected in the price of beachfront property in Miami and the Obamas would not have spent millions on their house on the shore.

Define profound

According to a reconstruction, from Michael Mann and company no less. Mann is a thoroughly discredited shill who spends his time, up in his office, P-hacking his ass off looking for any signs of AGW attribution. Define profound

Four things: 1. Sea levels have been rising at about the same rate since measurements began, well before the industrial revolution. 2. Economic losses in coastal areas are a function of development and population growth in those areas. (A category 5 hurricane slamming into Florida a hundred and fifty years ago would have caused very little property loss, a thunderstorm today could cost millions) 3. Pennsylvania is landlocked and South Philly's drop in land value has nothing to with climate change.(trust me) 4. Tidal forces are perfectly natural

That is why I reposted the wiki links, so you might learn something and we can put this whole “ocean acidification” nonsense to bed.

I don’t deny climate change; I don’t deny that CO2 has some role. I question that a slightly warmer planet with CO2 levels that are well within pre/historical norms will result in an imminent existential catastrophe. I further question the efficacy of any attempts of mitigation. I ask myself, “Will a carbon tax save the lives of my children or will it just make Al Gore a billionaire?” Just look at the trends in this new “dangerously high CO2” planet. Life expectancy is higher, food production is higher, global poverty is lower, global GDP is higher, rate of sea level rise is stable; floods, droughts, wildfires, hurricanes — unchanged. Deaths due to climate-related disasters plummeted. Population growth in developed (aka high CO2 emitting) countries is zero to negative. Is coal dirty? Yes — but not in comparison to burning animal dung and wood for kitchen fuel. We could save thousands of lives just from promoting coal in developing countries if we could just not let perfection be the enemy of the good. This isn’t even hard. Just remove the virtue signaling and conduct a simple cost- benefit and the scales will fall from your eyes. BTW the Obamas just bought millions in beach-front property, just saying.

Do some learning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide_in_Earth's_atmosphere

Are you saying that coral didn’t evolve during the Cambrian era? Interesting.

CORAL BLEACHING IS A NATURAL PHENOMENON & REEFS HAVE SURVIVED & THRIVED IN FAR HIGHER TEMPS & CO2 LEVELS IN THE PAST CORALS evolved during the Cambrian era when atmospheric CO2 levels were at 6,000-7,000 ppm, around 4,000 percent or 20 times higher than today’s environment of 415 ppm, with atmospheric and ocean temps temps far higher than today.

There were worse floods when CO2 was low https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Flood_of_1913
