Prepare to abandon your homes Americans
The Washington Post Editorial Board tried to freak Americans out by claiming that some communities “will have to be abandoned” completely because it would cost too much money to save them from ‘climate change’.
“There are few easy answers, but humanity must — with urgency — prepare now,” The Washington Post Editorial Board declared in a Sept. 18 editorial.
The headline was equally inflammatory: “The world’s ice is melting. Humanity must prepare for the consequences.”
This wasn’t the first time that The Post lost its mind over climate change. The liberal paper published two stories in July that signaled imminent climate doom for the U.S. and Europe.
The Post threw around climate buzzwords like “doomsday glacier” and “zombie ice” to prop up a nutty solution — even by the standards of climate change fanatics — that “[a]s harsh as it sounds, there are certain places where it will not make sense to spend lots of money trying to keep back the tides. Some will have to be abandoned.” [Emphasis added].
So, “Some” will have to sacrifice their homes to the climate-change gods, it seems, unless one lives in a major metropolis or on a naval base, according to The Post.
The newspaper argued that megacities like Manhattan, which is “vital to the U.S. economy,” may have to be protected by “massive sea gates that would close off New York Harbor during big storms.”
No, dear reader, this is not The Babylon Bee.
The Post added that Hampton Roads, a site with “expansive naval facilities,” must also be protected because “[e]xpensive engineering efforts will be justifiable for critical areas.” Tough luck then for the folks living in rural towns and suburbia, eh Washington Post?
But when exactly should the millions of Americans living outside “critical areas” prepare for the climate apocalypse? The answer to that question, according to The Post, is not so clear.
“What is rapid in geological time seems slow on human time scales,” the board wrote. “The most severe consequences of melting ice caps might not come for decades or even longer.”
Apparently, the so-called “experts” don’t even have their act together on the accuracy of this doomsday scenario, either: “Given how little the experts know about the dynamics of these behemoth ice formations, their predictions could still be off.” Go figure.
Someone needs to contact environmentalist icon and owner of The Post Jeff Bezos to warn him of the impending climate disaster.
Bezos reportedly owns a “superyacht,” but came under fire after The Conversation revealed that some superyachts can emit up to 7,020 tons of carbon dioxide per year.
That is 3,510 times more than the average person, who emits roughly “two tons” of CO2 a year through eating, according to the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology.

Hi PSI Editors and Readers (which include Matt),
The header of this article appears to be a photo of Palm Beach Sidney. Which obviously is a very poplar scene which has been photographed many times by many people. This article (https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-sealevel-sydney-idUSL1N2U827A) is about a claimed comparison of two photos which I have trying to bring to the editor’s attention. And now you both (editors and readers) can read how this claimed comparison proves nothing.
However, II went to the historical tidal data of Sidney’s harbor (https://www.psmsl.org/data/obtaining/stations/65.php). Note the unit, millimeters, of this data where the tidal oscillation between high tides and low tides is between 7200mm and 6800mm. These thousands of mm make it appear as if the the range of the tidal oscillations between high and low tides is large (400mm). But what is 400mm in inches (a metric distance or length) with which I am more familiar even though I am a scientist and need to use metric units like mm’s). So I know 400 mm is a little less than 2 inches. Therefore, what is bogus is what you read in the Reuter’s article whose author ignores this actually measured tidal data.
Which measured data does prove that “sea levels” at Palm Beach Sidney have not changed more than 2 inches in more than a century.
Have a good day, Jerry

400mm is just under 16 inches Jerry.

You mean to tell me that Obama should leave the oceanside estate that the public so graciously paid for? I doubt it as t p t b know the climate fraud is as big as the “covid” fraud.

Now I was under the impression that I has submitted this comment well over 12 hours ago, so I submit it again with a correction of a mistake I had made. And this morning I have finally remembered observations of human activity that I have read about in what I consider to be oldest history book written by humans. For it starts IN THE BEGINNING. In my next comment I will review what I know because I have actually observed about that which I report.
Have a good day, Jerry

Hi PSI Readers,
My personal observation that sea levels have not significantly changed for thousands of years is that, at the urging of my wife, we joined a tour of the Holy Land which included a cruise of the Aegean Sea. Which began and ended at Athens Greece. On this cruise we stopped at several well-known ancient ports where very large cruise ships could tie up to a sea-wall and we departed from the ship and then walk maybe 100, or so, feet to the shops built, long ago, along the sea-wall. But to support the little I can still remember I did a Matth literature search.
Aegean civilizations, the Stone and Bronze Age civilizations that arose and flourished in the area of the Aegean Sea in the periods, respectively, about 7000–3000 BC and about 3000–1000 BC. (https://www.britannica.com/topic/Aegean-civilization)
So this is my evidence that the Aegean Sea level, and the Mediterranean Sea level, have not changed during much of human history. Yes Andy, I know this does not get us the possible melting of the last glaciation of North America, Europe, and Asia and its melting. But it certainly establishes that the modern human activity have not changed the more recent NATURAL CLIMATE.
Have a good day, Jerry
