SEA LEVEL! EVERYONE PANIC!

Well, I see that the climate hypemeisters are at it again. Here’s Google News on the subject.


Figure 1. The usual, from the usual suspects.

So I thought I’d take a look at some of the claims. To start with, here’s an overview of the sea level rise around the US coasts.

A few notes of interest. First, look at the east coast / west coast differences in relative sea level rise. This is generally not because sea levels are rising at different rates on the east and west coasts. It’s because the land is generally sinking on the east coast and rising on the west coast. Nothing to do with the ocean.

Next, check out the local differences. At Grand Isle, Louisiana, the big red arrow in the Gulf of Mexico, the relative sea level is rising at 9.2 mm per year … while only a short distance away, the green arrow to the right of Grand Isle shows that Pensacola, Florida has a relative sea level rise less than a third of that, 2.7 mm per year.

Why different sea level rise rates? Again, it has nothing to do with the ocean. It’s because Grand Isle is a silty barrier island in the Mississippi Delta, and like all such islands, it’s slowly sinking into the briny blue.

Green Blob Tells Government to Spend £30 Billion on Machine to Remove CO2 From the Air
BY BEN PILE 5 MAY 2024 7:00 AM

A story in the Telegraph last week featured a report by Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) which recommended the Government commit to a £30 billion project to pull CO2 from the air. According to the report, Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS) machines sited across the east coast could separate the greenhouse gas from air and pump it to underground storage facilities, thereby helping the U.K. to meet its ambitious 2050 Net Zero target. Not only is this extraordinarily expensive idea pointless in itself, it exposes the equally pointless and expensive constellation of publicly-funded lobbying organisations.

According to ESC, “carbon capture in its various forms is a critical component of a low-cost energy transition”, and “without it, at scale, we risk non-compliance with our Net Zero requirement”. And here is the thing that would, were such things subject to public debate, cause millions of people to scratch their heads. So what if the U.K. does not comply with its Government’s self-imposed target? What is the ‘risk’? And why should the public fork out billions of pounds merely for a daft machine that serves no function other than help a Government achieve its ambition that nobody else really cares about?

Madder still, the ESC admits that DACCS “remains unproven at scale”. This raises two important problems.

There's just nothing for me - Either big screen or TV... Once you've YooToob'd for a while, everything - And I do mean everything - seems so scripted and phony, not to mention totally unbelievable. I've used the example of a 100lb beauty queen, in heels and with perfect hair, kicking the crap out of a 250lb man before, but that ain't even half of it. Throw in the now always present homo lust scene, and I don't even need to turn the channel, because there is no reason for me to be on any channel in the first place.

I am long, long gone, and I won't be back.

Because of just what you've outlined here, I clicked on the Netflix "DOCUMENTARY" category and have become addicted.

It's the only genre that haven't been corrupted by Barack and Big Mike's hands...usually 3 or 4 episodes...how they gather evidence and garner confessions.

Have to get 'SOMETHING' for my $18 @ month.   

Thanks, pookie!
