    Global realities can be too large a matter for some to contemplate.

    Its featuring delivery to (and above) your doorstep will bring the message home.

    Natural selection has been a great hammer to advance agendas. When you’re the nail it makes you think a little differently doesn’t it? :)

    Climate change will do what it will do. What we can do to change it is a completely different issue which is rarely discussed. Only that we should do such and such by such and such date. However, all those such and such rarely actually address how much we can change it. By the way, in 1811, the Mississippi River did back up far north of St Louis.

    Surrender is not an option.

    That the Mississippi inundated human habitations often has resulted in massive projects being undertaken to address the challenge.

    Preventative measures are a sensible response to known threats.

    Very impressive weather forecaster in the article. He should talk to my weather man who can't get the 3 day forecast correct most of the time, yet alone the 80 year forecast.

    Only when the results of preventative measures are well understood and when they will actually accomplish the goals for which they were established.

    Over time there is going to be a global migration away from low lying coastal areas as sea level rises.

    As well as vast human migrations away from regions rendered uninhabitable by heat, crop failures, and other adverse consequences of climate change.

    One would expect those particularly averse to such mass relocations to endorse measures to prevent them rather than encourage them by denial.

    Miami will be underwater in a few years.

    A bartender said so.

    Even, if the proposed changes would make a significant difference, there almost always unintended consequences, some good some bad. There is one classic with mixed results.

    There are massive levees along the Mississippi river and most other large rivers susceptible to flooding. Great idea, right? There is also an unintended bad consequence. Prior to levee construction, the rivers spread out and drain in the upstream areas which prevents much of the water from flowing downstream and flooding downstream areas. Not because of the levees, the water is sent down stream which results in more flooding downstream. Is the net result good? That depends on who you ask.

    Not for the Obama's, they just invested in some low land along the coast. I wonder if they forgot about global warming.

    The gov-edu-union-contractor-grantee-trial lawyer-MSM Complex climate hoax does involve being up to the waist in something, but it's not urine.

    Municipalities, businesses, the military, and agricultural interests are among the many entities in the US responsibly confronting the imminent challenges of anthropogenic climate change even as an ilk of ideological crackpots persist in wallowing in denial or bleating impotence.

    Im sorry, it just seems so odd to me that the obamas would warn and preach about global warming and coastal flooding and the buy a huge house on the coast . Seems like more elite dems saying do what i say not what i do.

    You should not fixate upon affluent folks who are better-positioned to incur losses. Millions of ordinary Americans are not so insulated from the imminent depredations. They do not have the luxury of irrationally denying or blithely ignoring the consequences of anthropogenic climate change.

    Consider the folks in Miami as well as other cities trying to prepare for the inevitable:
    Of course, your effluent will be impacted as well:

    Irrational denial is always an option when ideological dogma encounters scientific data.

    Actually it makes perfect sense if you understand that it's all bullshit.

    ‘CLIMATE CHANGE’ JUST ANOTHER WAY TO SAY ‘SOCIALISM:’ The Issues & Insights crew digs deep into the darkest recesses of global warming alarmism and comes up with, among much else, Al Gore’s daughter explaining why capitalism must go if the environment is to be saved.

    I'm not sure how your attempted diversion to Obama supposedly "preaching" about what is a near-universally recognized scientific reality should alter their personal home ownership.

    Do you actually have any credible sources for their having made such a purchase? I can find no record of it anywhere in the Dukes County Registry of Deeds. The vacation home they had rented on Martha's Vineyard several times is not on beachfront property.

    In any event, prices are way down for properties in danger of coastal flooding, and are bargains if one only has short-term plans for them.

    There are ideological crackpots in denial of science who tend to lie about such things for inexplicable reasons, so you may want to make sure that you are not propagating fake new.

    So the Obama's bought a bargain property with the knowledge that in a few years it would be worthless?

    The thing is, not many people are actual 'deniers' that climate changes. It's the idea that some people think that mankind caused, and somehow, mankind can stop it, buy taxing people. That ones a pip.

    While I believe we are the guardians of this planet, you cannot change natural cycles. Especially by taxing it *eyeroll. Regardless if Trump is in the WH or not, or if Brexit ever actually happens, nature is going to do what it wants. People will acclimate one way or another, or migrate, or those who can't do either of those, will die off.

    Just like before.

    Get back to me when the elite snobs pushing this narrative alter their lifestyles to make their carbon footprint smaller and stop buying overpriced oceanfront properties. Til then, it walks, quacks and shits like a scam.

    There's a big difference between perceived and known. More is known about the seismic threats in California than whatever they're calling global warming these days, the name of this perceived threat changes as much as the narrative. When the big one hits the left coast you have to know the climate crackheads will be blaming it on global something or other and Donald Trump.

    They don't care. They will be dead and they don't give a damn about their kids and grand kids.

    And no matter what happens, they will simply deny the facts like they do now.
