Dems warn of 30-foot sea level rise without action on climate, call for ‘recovery plan’
The resolution argues that climate change has a disproportionate impact on children, and demands a government-led response

Dozens of House Democrats put forward legislation last week that claims the sea level will rise as much as 30 feet by the year 2100 if the government does not act to counter climate change.


The non-binding resolution from 65 Democrats argues there is a disproportionate impact of climate change on children, and warns that the warming climate is a threat to the fundamental rights and mental health of children around the world. A government acknowledgment and solution to the "threat to national security" posed by climate change is needed to counter potentially irreversible harms to the environment, they wrote.

"The best scientific information available projects a 15- to 30-foot rise in sea level by 2100 if current trends continue, with ever greater rises and acceleration in subsequent centuries, resulting in increased erosion and the loss of land, causing the loss of communities, homes, infrastructure, agriculture, and coastal ecosystems for affected children, until such time as levels of CO2 in the atmosphere are dramatically reduced, and steps are taken to cool the upper portion of the ocean," the resolution says.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Human society and culture flourished during the warm periods in the recent past (i.e., within the last 10,000 years), assuming that the proxy data used to estimate past temperatures are relatively accurate.  Times when it was much warmer than it is now, or is likely to get.

So, all of the scare-mongering by the democrats is pure bullshit, designed just to panic the sheeple into giving up dictatorial control to the enviro-fascists.

I have not heard one computer model that has ever made that claim. Even the ones that try to push the idea of anthropogenic climate change.

Where are they getting that number?
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

From the article…

The non-binding resolution from 65 Democrats argues there is a disproportionate impact of climate change on children, and warns that the warming climate is a threat to the fundamental rights and mental health of children around the world.

Oh there is that “for the children” argument.

But they never tell you how climate change will impact the rights and mental health of children

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Yeah, I'll believe they are worried about a 30 ft. sea level rise when they start selling their beach mansions.

Not until.

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.

And when they don’t get what they want by claiming a 30 foot sea rise, that number will grow to 40, then 50, then 100

Before you know it, will be like that movie “Waterworld” by the year  2100

Not only were they living on an oil tanker, they were living on the Exxon Valdez.

Yeah, so?  Worse things have happened over the 4.5 billion years Earth has been around.

It's just some limousine liberals trying to save their beach homes and avoid paying increased insurance premiums.

They've been warning of a rise in the sea level for how many decades now? Somewhere, a surfer is growing old, standing on a beach clutching his board, wondering when the heck he's going to see it.

How is that even possible?

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
