Exxon Scientists Predicted Global Warming in 1970’s

It’s as if the left knows better but instead willfully works against Mother Earth and humanity by flying their jets, driving their SUVs, and neglecting to implement strategies to curb disasters.
Doesn’t seem like they are all bought in yet.

 

They did, except where the surge reached them.

I have a golfing buddy that lives in the Forest in Fort Myers, and I was shocked to learn at least a few houses in there were total losses due to surge. I guess I never realized how close the water was there. It’s not like it’s a waterfront community with boat access, don’t think there’s any waterfront homes in there either, but it was close enough for the surge to hit them nonetheless.

I think it’s reasonable to require any new construction in a storm surge area to be built at a higher grade, if not elevated on stilts. I previously would have only thought that on the barrier islands, but maybe anything west of 41 up most of the SW coast, and any lower lying areas should be looked at the same.

 

iow word vomit

 

How did you end up after Hillary?
All good?

 

Thanks, bluke!

Hella lotta rain but winds weren't bad. One broken tree branch.

General metro area reports of some flooding, road washouts etc. but damage seems pretty light.

 

Great to hear!

 

Thanks for proving my point.

 

This conversation to me really isn’t about “left” or “right” but I don’t totally disagree here.

 

you didn’t have a point…that’s the problem.

 

Looks like Global Warming may be causing the Mississippi River to dry up enough that brackish water might reach inland as far as New Orleans. The Army Corps of Engineers is going to barge 36 million gallons of water a day to water treatment plants in the area to deal with the problem. Barging water does not sound very efficient to me. Water shortage is expected to begin in late October. I'm also wondering if there is enough water in the Mississippi to float the barge (maybe it will be going through the inter-coastal waterway).

Forest is west of 41 and not more than a mile as the crow flies to Estero Bay. It is also fairly low in parts and was built before the new FEMA maps raised the bfe across most coastal areas. All new construction and rebuilds greater than 50% of value must be built to BFE Base flood elevation +1. All those structures built to BFE +1 would not have flooded. We are also west of 41 and around a mile to Estero Bay but up on old sand ridge so we had no flooding problems

 

Looks like global warming might bring one of the world's favorite diseases to a neighborhood near you: Dengue Fever, also known as break-bone fever (because it feels that good).

Looks like global warming might also bring one of the world's favorite inflictions to an end in a neighborhood near you: Frost Bite.

I don’t have a link but I hear it was a hot topic at the Orlando Sherpa convention last week. There was much dancing and rejoicing.

 

Do your dancing while you can, before the Dengue Fever outbreaks start. You may not be capable of dancing afterwards.

I did not realize that frostbite was a big problem in Orlando.

 

This is the type of hard hitting news you can use that one can only get from THFSG.

 

Didn't you come from the ice age

 

you try telling the Sherpas that…have you seen those sharp ice axes they carry?

 

Stone Age. Totally different politics.

 

Have they been climbing Space Mountain?
