RUSH COMMENTS ON THE GLOBAL WARMING CON GAME BULSH*T
Absurd: American Cities That Could Be Under Water by 2200
RUSH: Try this headline, from one of my aforementioned little tech blogs Just to show you how this utter drivel, rooted in a massive hoax, is so easily spread and consumed. "These Are the American Cities That Could Be Buried Underwater by 2200." This is 2015. We're talking now 185 years from now. So some nincompoop organization has run some more computer models and they found some American cities "could be" underwater in 185 years and my little tech blog picks it up as though it's gospel.
"Rising sea-levels will someday put several American cities completely, or partially, underwater. Here are the US cities that could be submerged by sea-levels in approximately 200 years -- and what you can expect for your own city in the future. A new study published in PNAS," some United Nations outfit, whatever, "looked at what we can expect for our cities if carbon emissions remain unchecked up through 2100. If they do, researchers said to expect an eventual long-term sea-level rise of up to [10.8 yards] that would take place in various cities along a timeline ranging from between 200-2,000 years.
"As a whole, researchers estimated that 20 million people in 21 different cities currently live in areas that would be submerged under that eventual rise," and everybody currently alive in everyone of those cities will be dead. "The study looked at two different scenarios: one in which the West Antarctic ice sheet collapses ... and one in which West Antarctica manages to keep it together, through some fast carbon cuts worldwide." This story actually puts forth the irresponsible, outrageous, stupid claim that if we get moving forward on reducing carbon emissions, we can save the West Antarctic ice sheet.
It's utterly preposterous.
And do you notice once again a prediction of 100, 150, 2,000 years from now? Not next week, not next year, not next decade, even. No, no. The prediction is when you will not be alive to know whether or not anybody was right or wrong. But you can't afford to wait! Even though you will be dead, people you are related to will still be alive, and they could drown, because the rising sea level be like a tsunami. It could happen overnight. Nobody would have time to move.
It's just absurd, and it's all based on bogus, bohunk computer modeling. There's not one shred of scientific data. Here's Bernie Sanders last night going on and on and on about it. He was asked over and over again: "What's the number one biggest, most important, threatening issue we face?" He said (summarized), "Climate change! If we don't act fast, our children and grandchildren may be faced with an uninhabitable planet."
Nobody's even said that yet. I mean, you can make some cases, examples that some warming would actually be good for a lot of people things and people. Now it's going to be "uninhabitable." The planet, folks, uninhabitable! It is scary that people believe this, but it's not unusual. Human beings have this propensity to believing, falling for every single apocalyptic doom that they are told is happening. It boggles the mind.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I checked my e-mail. "You never said what cities are gonna be flooded." I know I didn't 'cause it's bogus. But I'll tell you: This irresponsible so-called report on global warming... What do you think the cities are that are gonna be flooded? Miami, West Palm Beach, practically all of south Florida's gonna be gone by 2200. It'll be underwater, all the way up to Lake Okeechobee, New York City. It's not gonna be the Sahara Desert where nobody lives that's flooded, folks.
Of course it's gonna be where people live. Oh, that reminds me. You know what? I need to fix something tomorrow. I got a very nice note from Joe Bastardi, who heard me accuse the hurricane center of being politicized for their hurricane tracks. "No, these are great people down there, Rush. You ought to..." So I need to correct that or fix that. I just reminded myself of that now, so make a note here and takes care of the tomorrow.
