University of Colorado satellite data shows that there has been little change in Florida sea level since 1997. The data above is the average of sea level at the five lat/lon pairs below.

Experts say that Florida is being drowned by rising seas

The subject of global warming has become so politically unpalatable over the last few years that neither party mentions it much anymore.  A conference on climate change sponsored by Florida Atlantic University made it clear that ignoring the threat has done nothing to slow it down — particularly in South Florida, which has more people and property at risk by rising sea levels than any place in the country.  The two-day summit in Boca Raton, which wrapped up Friday, painted a bleak and water-logged picture for much of coastal Florida.  Under current projections, the Atlantic Ocean would swallow much of the Florida Keys in 100 years.

At the current rate of sea level rise, Florida will drown in infinity years.

The White House Correspondents Association is strongly urging the Obama administration to allow press access to the president’s official swearing-in ceremony on Jan. 20, following indications from inauguration committee officials that the event could potentially be closed to the press.

“Call me shell-shocked. I’m stunned that this is even an issue; it boggles the mind,” NBC News White House correspondent Chuck Todd told POLITICO. “This is not their oath, this is the constitutional oath. It’s not for them. It’s for the public, the citizens of the United Sates. It just boggles the mind — How is this even a debate?”

In 1957, Hartford Insurance predicted a permanent drought for southwest Texas.

At the time the prediction was made, Texas was experiencing a seven year long extreme drought – the worst in Texas history.

Immediately after Don Friedman made his ingenious forecast of permanent drought,  the drought broke and Texas became very wet.

Insurance companies make pessimistic climate forecasts because it gives them an excuse to raise their premiums and make more money. They have a blatant conflict of interest, as does the government – who want to raise taxes.

The threat of rising seas has more South Florida officials shifting from “What if?” to “What do we do?” when it comes to dealing with climate change.

South Florida scientists, government officials, representatives from Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe counties and environmental leaders converged on Palm Beach County Thursday to coordinate their fight against climate change.

Scary as the potential repercussions of climate change — and the potential public costs — may be, officials said the time has come to take action.

Sea level is hardly rising around Florida, and even if it was – they couldn’t stop it.

How do you get an organism to destroy itself?

Simple – convince it that something essential for its survival is making it sick. A great example of this is bulimia. If an individual believes that food is unhealthy, it eventually will self-destruct and die.

As far as I can tell, that is the fundamental purpose of the global warming movement. Civilization can not exist without an adequate energy supply, and greens are determined to  make that impossible. They are determined to introduce a fatal imaginary paradox – which will lead western civilization to self-destruct.

Global warming could impact WA ski industry:

According to the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Protect Our Winters (POW), unless carbon pollution is limited, the nation’s ski industry could be impacted. Winter tourism is a $348 million annual business in Washington state, the groups say.

“Without intervention, winter temperatures are projected to warm an additional 4 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century, with subsequent decreases in snow cover area, snowfall, and shorter snow season,” the groups warn in a statement.

And Washington is having near record snowfall.

But worst of all is the concept that we can “intervene” in the climate. These people are completely insane.
