The area that will by completely inundated by the rising ocean—and not in a century but in the lifetime of my two cats—are the American southeast, including the most populated area of Texas, almost all of Florida, most of Louisiana, and half of Alabama and Mississippi, as well as goodly portions of eastern Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. While the northeast will also see some coastal flooding, its geography is such that that aside from a few projecting sandbars like Long Island and Cape Cod, the land rises fairly quickly to well above sea level.

LOLOLOLOL!!!

He talking about 20 odd years from now!

This mean the Sea Level increase that is barely going up has to accelerate incredibly to match his vision of catastrphe.

The IPCC thinks it will go up about 15″ in 100 years.

This writer thinks most of Florida will be underwater in a mere 20 some years.This means it has to go up at least 36″ in less than 25 years.

Meanwhile there is a slight NET growth of snow and ice at Greenland and Antarctica.That makes up about 98% of the worlds ice that is growing.Meanwhile the Artic has been in rapid recovery the last 2 months and now faces a future with INCREASING ice formation.

I think this writer is mentally ill.

Start with this:

The area that will by completely inundated by the rising ocean—and not in a century but in the lifetime of my two cats—are the American southeast, including the most populated area of Texas, almost all of Florida, most of Louisiana, and half of Alabama and Mississippi, as well as goodly portions of eastern Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.

Assuming his cats are both kittens, that means the entire southeast will be submerged in no more than 20 years? Even the Goracle isn’t saying anything that ridiculous. And you’ll notice he supplies absolutely no supporting scientific evidence. This is just the mindless raving of an unhinged lunatic.

But ignore his total lack of factual evidence for the moment. I’m much more intrigued by his self-righteous authoritarian streak. As in this:

The important thing is that we, on the higher ground both actually and figuratively, need to remember that, when they begin their historic migration from their doomed regions, we not give them the keys to the city. They certainly should be offered assistance in their time of need, but we need to keep a firm grip on our political systems, making sure that these guilty throngs who allowed the world to go to hell are gerrymandered into political impotence in their new homes.

There will be much work to be done to help the earth and its residents—human and non-human—survive this man-made catastrophe, and we can’t have these future refugee troglodytes, should their personal disasters still fail to make them recognize reality, mucking things up again.

It should be considered acceptable, in this stifling new world, to say, “Shut up. We told you this would happen.”

OK…for a moment, let’s apply a new set of hypotheticals to his scenario. Lindorff’s based in Philadelphia. Suppose AQ gets its hands on a nuclear device and detonates it under the William Penn statue at City Hall. Lindorff survives and evacuates to…let’s say, Charlotte, North Carolina. Using his logic, it would be entirely justified to deny him civil rights (can’t give him the keys to the city), especially voting rights (because he has to be gerrymandered into political impotence). Since we don’t want liberals who fail to grasp the seriousness of global jihad “mucking things up again”, Sister Toldjah could tell him, “Shut up. We told you this would happen,” and be right to do so.

Of course that series of events wouldn’t transpire, because conservatives don’t have the dictatorial streak or the white-hot hatred of anyone who disagrees with them about anything.

And since he has no inkling of democratic election processes– like, majority rule– he must not be aware of folks changing addresses and registering to vote at the new one. That this might change certain electoral outcomes has not occurred to him, I guess.

All I have to say is, dream on, nancy boys. Enjoy your pathetic fantasies. And rest assured I do not reciprocate. I think it’d be a real treat if you’d just stop the whining, but I can’t be bothered to make you do it. Obviously my world is not so constricted, since there’s room for you in it, while there’s none for me in yours.

Does this make me a better person? Damn straight it does. But I’m not going to be smug about it, since being better than these twisted sacks of hate is no accomplishment.

the vast Ogallala Aquifer that has allowed for such irrigation is already being tapped out. It will not be replaced.

Does this idiot actually believe that all that water is going to stay on the Earth’s surface?? How stupid is that. Much of that water will find a way underground, that is what water does. – Lorica

Anyhoo — our correspondent should be worried about the impact of global warming on liberal bastions as well, however the screed fails because of the heavy-handed cherry-picking — only talking up ill effects on conservative regions.

Dopey piece of satire. I give it a 3-out-of-10.

** of course, I’m sure he also notices the underlying implication, that poor people (renters) tend to congregate in large cities. My question is, when will the poor finally glom onto the realization that the Democratic Party is not interested in helping them very much?
