I have been getting flooded with comment spam from people insisting that Manhattan is underwater, and that Hansen was correct.
This is surprising, because a few weeks ago alarmists were insisting that Hansen never said that.
The new normal is that Hansen did predict Manhattan would be underwater by now, and it is underwater. Imagine the shock of 40,000 marathon runners this weekend when they discover that the New York Marathon is now a swimming event.
When I asked Midler, dressed as the corpse of CoCo Chanel to go with the evening’s French theme, whether “super” hurricanes like Sandy will change the minds of climate change deniers, she said: “I have no idea. But I know, I know in my heart, the truth. And I will not be swayed. And you know what, if people knew simple physics, they would understand it as well.”
Katie Halper: Bette Midler Defies Hurricane, Fights Climate Change
Bette has the advantage of being able to see the earth from above. Sadly, the snow capped peaks have all been drowned by the rise of sea level.

June 9, 1972 – during the 1970s ice age scare.
Unanswerable cries for help, narrow escapes and the raging, ice-cold waters of Rapid Creek sweeping away everything in its path — no one who lived in Rapid City in 1972 will ever forget the horrors of June 9, when 238 people lost their lives in South Dakota’s greatest natural tragedy.

December 1861 – January 1862: California’s Great Flood
Beginning on December 24, 1861, and lasting for 45 days, the largest flood in California’s recorded history was created, reaching full flood stage in different areas between January 9–12, 1862.
The entire Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys were inundated for an extent of 300 miles (480 km), averaging 20 miles (32 km) in breadth. State government was forced to relocate from the capital in Sacramento for 18 months in San Francisco. The rain created an inland sea in Orange County, lasting about three weeks with water standing 4 feet (1.2 m) deep up to 4 miles (6 km) from the river.[1]
The Los Angeles basin was flooded from the San Gabriel Mountains to the Palos Verdes Peninsula, at variable depths, excluding the higher lands which became islands until the waters receded. The Los Angeles basin lost 200,000 cattle by way of drowning, as well as homes, ranches, farm crops & vineyards being swept-away.
September 11, 2012 marked the beginning of the most disgusting White House cover up in history.
September 11, 1961 brought 173 MPH winds to Texas.
I have a different idea. If the government gives me a billion dollars, I will guarantee that the long-term US hurricane trend will continue to fall for at least another decade.
