    In 7 or 8 years you won't be able to detect any sea level rise. Taking the maximum at least in North America and Europe it will rise 0.03 inches. The coastal areas that have faster sea level rise are due to the land sinking.

    Yes it does. From zero to hundreds of thousands.

    Biden doesn't even have the most expensive home in Wilmington, let alone his entire state of Delaware.

    He and his wife will most likely have passed away by then; it's something his children (and our children) will have to deal with.

    The feds lowered the rate because of policy not because of browbeating, I know you don't understand the difference or how the fed and the economy works.

    More recent and more of the same from the Obama crime family.

    The Associated Press, puts it this way: "As the Treasury and State Department worked behind the scenes to help Iran access the dollar, the message to Congress remained the same: The JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) did not allow Iran to access the U.S. financial system.”

    Obama sent a clear message to Congress: If you don't block this nuclear deal, we will bar Iran's access to our financial system. The deal was clear, unequivocal.
    It was also a lie. Obama lied, and so did others in his administration.

    That's the conclusion of a report by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. It alleges Obama officials pushed the U.S. Treasury to let Iran convert the equivalent of $5.7 billion of funds held in Oman's Bank of Muscat from rials into dollars and subsequently into euros.

    It required a special license by the U.S. Treasury, which was granted in February of 2016. But it was never disclosed, either to Congress or the American people.

    Just adding another fact concerning the most duplicitous president in US history. You folks can't use President Trump in a sentence without frothing at the mouth and spouting some conspiracy fantasy. Facts are facts and so far you have nothing, nada, bupkis on Trump. Impeachment will only yield the same and relegate the Democrat party to the ash heap of history. 2020 is going to be an interesting year.

    So now you bounce to Trump in a weird, "what-about .. what-about ..." tirade when nobody mentioned Trump. Feeling guilty?

    Your contention that the secret service is housed with the obamas is a desperate attempt to excuse their buying a mansion. You really believe they have their own living quarters in the mansion alongside the obamas? Their bedrooms and kitchen and bathrooms? Perhaps their own wing? Surly you are not serious here. They work in shifts guarding the premises and go home at shifts end as the next shift comes on duty. They don't do much Good if they are asleep in their bedrooms or cooking dinner in their kitchen do they.
    Now back to reality. Obamas bought a huge sprawling mansion for two people to live in as they tell the rest of us to live energy efficient because we are warming the planet and the icing on the cake is they do so while lounging on their 15 million dollar private beach that they tell us will soon be underwater.

    And despite his rhetoric it's obvious obama knows this or he wouldn't have spent 15 million for a private beach

    No - my contention was that they signed a $70 million dollar contract with Netflix, so they can afford to buy what they wish.

    Well heating and cooling his sprawling mansion will help that happen faster I guess. Lol

    And that is a mansion on the ocean as they lecture the rest of us to be energy efficient because we are raising sea levels

    Just checked. The house is 6,800 sq.ft. and is not actually on the ocean, but on a pond separated from the ocean by a break water, and is on a rise of land 8 feet+ above high water mark. Now 6,800 sq ft. is good size, but it's way short of the 10,000 - 30,000 sq. ft. homes that surround the Miami /Palm Beach area.

    So while it may be a bit hypocritical of them to own a large house, it is certainly not huge and is far enough above the high water mark to put to rest this idea that they are ignoring sea level rise. So once again, we see a thread that is the equivalent to a fart in a hurricane from the OP.

    6800 feet for two people? Not to energy efficient is it.
    Eight feet above high water mark is zip when a big hurricane hits and warmers tell us hurricanes will be bigger more frequent and move farther north.
    As for his private beach that's a big part of the property value and according to warmers will be gone very soon or even sooner if one of their huge hurricanes washes it away. Obama despite his rhetoric obviously isn't to worried

    So, the Obama's don't give a crap about reducing their carbon footprint. Good to know.
