Will Sea-Level Rise Drown NYC By 2050? Don’t Pack Your Bags Just Yet

ny underwaterA recent National Aeronautics and Space Administration report yet again raises the alarm that New Yorkers are about to be inundated by rapidly rising seas.

But a review of the data suggests that such warnings need to be taken with more than a few grains of sea salt.

The record of sea level measured at the southern tip of Manhattan, known as the Battery, begins in 1856. [emphasis, links added]


It shows that today’s waters are 19 inches higher than they were 166 years ago, rising an average of 3.5 inches every 30 years.

Wasn't this already supposed to be a done deal according to St. Algore?  Were there some thngs about the weather he wasn't aware of when he declared the drowning of NYC?  Surely such a great scientist and cult leader knows of everything!! wink777

Didn't Obama just buy a house on Martha's Vineyard too? Odd seeing as it too will be underwater soon supposedly.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
