The politicians of Muslim countries know that the USA has already achieved energy independence under President Trump, so the USA is not buying oil from them anyway. That's why they have no problem using anti-American politicians like AOC to demand the banning of fossil fuel in the USA under the fake excuse of trying to save humans from the end of the world due to CO2 so as to destroying the US economy and to collapse the cities so that the radical leftists and the evil globalist would be able to take over the USA more easily. The problem with AOC's insane proposal is that she did not call for (not demand) countries like China (no. 1 emitter of CO2 in the world), India, Saudi Arabia and Russia to stop the use and sales of fossil fuel, which means her excuse of trying to save humans from the end of the world due to CO2 is a fake and total BS.

Both is happening. As sea levels rise some areas are much more affected by erosion than others. Especially those sites with a deep human impact are considered to be the most affected. With that said, the discussion if land is sinking or/and sea level rising is totally irrelevant. All human inhabited and economically used areas next to water are in danger of their existance over the next thirty years and thats very optimistic estimate. So, instead of discussing we should act, bc all our technologies wont help us out whithin a crisis as material shortages and price increase occur.

The marsh land in South Louisiana is actually floating. Water makes up a sizable portion of the soil.. I have seen entire sections of marsh, of over a mile wide, move to close a canal , as if it was never there. Once the grass dies because the water is rising or the land is sinking, or both, the depth goes to over 6 foot in a single year. And, with that, the bottom is extremely soft. Something that is never mentioned, but a big problem, is the intrusion of herbicide from the mid west farms. Roundup is a poison which kills plants, including the marsh grasses in south Louisiana. Monsanto (bayer) is a virus that needs to be removed. Environmentalists don'rt seem to care much for some reason though. Oddly, Roundup is not very effective anymore in agriculture. Most areas now have roundup resistant varieties of weeds. Old fashioned cultivation is returning. Using no till has helped. The mulch on the surface helps with weed control and conserves moisture.

This is absolute BS! I first found out about Louisiana sinking as a boy in the sixties. The reason, the Mississippi River levee system was preventing sediment discharges into the coastal marshes, and the hundreds of miles of canals dug into the marshes was allowing saltwater intrusion that raised salinity and killed the marsh vegetation. All wetlands sink under its own weight, and without new sediment from spring floods a marsh will become open water. Now it is sea level rise! Not marshland subsidence! It is a big lie to justify government spending and control. Environmentalists do not care about the environment! Their purpose is big intrusive government, oppression and control.

There's a lot of issues here they didn't cover like Slidell is affected by subsidence. Some of it man-made and some natural. It sits on a giant hump of clay that used to be held up by quite a bit of water under it that has been pumped out in some places. Other parts of the mass have been slipping into the Gulf of Mexico for at least the last 20,,000 years. Because there's a fault zone formed by the heavy weight of Mississippi River deposits pushing down just offshore which tears land away from softer onshore mounds. It can be argued that this has been made worse by the Mississippi River diversion but to make that point you would have to admit there's no one protecting Louisiana from a lot of different things not just the petro chemical industry.

Rolf Jander, if you looked at paleoclimate records, you'd realize that climate during an Ice Age is highly unstable and we happen to be in an Ice Age that's 2.6 million years old. Warming, however, makes the climate more stable. For one thing, violent storms become less frequent. Why? Because wind only blows because of temperature differences, and when you get rid of the polar ice, you remove one side of the temperature difference equation. And ever warming? Climate has always changed in cycles and the climate science challenged said the same thing about the massive cooling from the 40s to the 70s last century; they thought it'd go on forever. It didn't. And we've already had a 17+ year pause in the warming, plus massive cold in Europe last winter, snow in the Sahara, plus summer snows in Canada, Russia and Australia. The last thing we need is Global Cooling in an Ice Age. Cold kills. History is full of examples of warming leading to prosperity and cooling leading to famines and societal collapses (Greek and Medieval Dark Ages, plus Little Ice Age).

I do not think anybody disagrees with climate change. Climate change has been occurring for the last 4.5 billion years> Oceans have been rising and falling right through the various Ice Ages which have occurred over time. We are currently coming to the end of the Quaternary Ice Age which has been going for some 2 million years. It has been inter laced with glacials and interglacials. At various stages, as at the end of the most recent glacial approx. 10,000 years ago, the sea rose by about 100 metres. Current monitoring of the oceans show there has been little or no change around the Equator. There has been a rise of about one millimetre a year in the north around the Scandinavian countries. This is not based on modelling but rather is actual measurements. This does not take away from the fact that parts of Louisiana are subsiding. This may mean the sea is rising there BUT it may also mean that the land is actually subsiding as the plates move thus giving the impression that the sea is rising. It is always worrying when we see the end of a species whether it be flora or fauna. Unfortunately, that is the way of the Earth. Species come and go. This can occur slowly or as with the dinosaurs it can occur swiftly. The Chicxulub Crater was made by part of a larger meteor or comet. The explosion would have been equivalent to 2,500 million atomic bombs. It would have wiped out 3/4 of all life on Earth. The heat blast and the tsunami would have done an excellent job of bringing about climatic upheaval. What could governments do about that? Nothing is the answer. Some might argue, that outside of the Tunguska explosion in Siberia in 1908 which was only a meagre 10-15 megatons, we really haven't had a major strike for millions of years. Some might say, given the Earth is 4.5 billion years old, we are surely over due. Forgetting that for the moment and simply looking a your cyclic everyday climate change. Again a great deal of this has to do with the Earth and its axis; the magnetism around the Earth; and finally the Sun. I really don't think there is anything governments can do to deal with these initiators of climate change. Yes we can do more to deal with pollution. I am not sure that stopping fossil fuel electricity is a good idea as many of the original climate activists like Bjorn Lomborg are now saying. His preferred option is now nuclear. He now admits that solar panels and wind turbines cannot do the job. How much money has now been wasted on them? Finally, some of these people are focusing on the root cause of our problem and that is over population. He argues, as do I, that there is a need for family planning in 2019. Unfortunately, this does not sit well with the private enterprise system which requires population growth for a growth in GDP and for the housing market to continue to rise. So there is your true dichotomy. Forget about the climate insanity and work on developing a new economic system ( I certainly do not mean socialism) and start having fewer kids. Who wants to tell Islam this? I don't. Now we know why Europe opened its doors to all those "refugees". It had nothing to do with humanity. It was more to do with economic growth.

This was premeditated ecocide. Standard practice would have been to require access by going up river and building industrial canals to access fresh water inland reserves. How were the oil companies allowed to dig canals from salt water to fresh water marshes? They should compensate coastal communities for every bit of land lost to this practice and rebuild the wetlands.

The causes of the irreversible rising sea levels are not entirely what you believe they are. The interior of the Earth seems to be heating up. Temperatures below the Antarctic continent have risen, causing ice sheet meltoff. Greenland is losing so much glacial runoff that they've completely changed their electricity production from diesel generators to hydro-electric.

If it is any consolation both coasts will feel the rising water too. A football field an hour is nothing to sneeze at though. I feel sorry for all those that are losing what they grew up with. If only we could turn back the hands of time. This land loss can not be called progress.

Good ole propaganda...........there is big money in doing nothing about an issue. Milking people's feelings and emotions for gain.
Considering the disproportionate tax breaks the large oil companies get in Louisiana (compared to tax breaks they get in other states), you'd think the large oil companies would be investing in saving these communities ...but even if they are doing something, it's surely not enough. Giving people jobs is nice, but leaving something better than you find it is the moral thing to do, especially with quantifiable damage. Louisiana should demand a fair tax break situation from these oil companies, and/or demand they invest in long-term solutions to save communities. Any oil company that takes the tax break of (i.e. 99%) and destroys the land but then threatens to take jobs if Louisiana starts demanding tax equity as in other states should be a national disgrace. The tax dollars Louisiana is giving these companies is money taken from the various communities. Look at the youtube "Why Louisiana stays poor."

I live six feet below sea level and I can absolutely assure you that I would know if the sea was rising. My Island is surrounded by river at the mouth of the river. The river has two currents one is fresh water that has come down from the mountains the other current is the ocean tide and salt water is more buoyant than freshwater meaning do not bring your loaded to the max sea going vessels into my port . It will be on the bottom as so many others have. Spring time the rain comes in and the snow in the mountains melts as it soaks up the rain and releases massive water all at once . The river is at its highest annual level I can definitely remember much worse years. As a child in the spring rains we would canoe down the roads because the gates can not be opened until the river levels drops . When there is a swell of water coming down the river the military arrives first. They are ready to sand bag the banks.

The sea is rising whether you realize it or not. That's an undisputed fact in the scientific community. However, the rise can still be measured in inches. Once it can be measured in feet, you'll probably notice.

90 billion for the grand plan, the federal reserve is buying that much in junk debt every month, of course Louisiana's pretty far down on the totem pole, so the answer is to raise taxes high enough so everyone will leave, then let the earth have It's way with Dulac and every other city in its crosshairs.

So where are the historical photos? If you search the internet you can find pictures from 10 2050 even 100 years ago. Why can't I get comparisons of shorelines when I search Google images? Why are the only things that show up graphs and papers scanned as jpegs and photoshopped predictions of sea level rise? Wouldn't comparisons of photos of shorelines then and now be the simplest way to demonstrate what all of these doomsayers are claiming? Where's the proof that should be so simple to provide?

@bigMACDavey6 жыл бұрын
Google Earth and Google images are actually two totally different things. It is not merely a semantic distinction. Google Earth is a tool for virtually exploring satellite photographs which have been laced together into a sphere. It has many other features as well. Google images is a web search function that allows people to search millions, if not billions of photos taken from cars, boats, planes, on foot, riding a bike, from a balloon and on and on. The photos come from contemporary and historical sources.
