Global Warming

[Exterminator]

I'm not buy that we are having an extra cold winter or some crazy hot summers because of man's contribution.

Science is not a liberal conspiracy.

. . ."The projected increase in high tide flooding in 2018 may be as much as 60 percent higher across U.S. coastlines as compared to typical flooding about 20 years ago and 100 percent higher than 30 years ago," the report's summary said. "This is due to long-term sea-level rise trends and, in part, by El Niño conditions that may develop later this year.". . .

. . .A report earlier this year from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said that "by 2100, high tide flooding will occur every other day (182 days/year) or more often" under an "intermediate low" scenario along the Atlantic coast and the western Gulf of Mexico. Scientists have been steadily increasing their estimates of how much sea level overall will rise this century from melting glaciers and polar ice sheets. The current best estimates are in the range of 3 to 6 feet.

The problem of variable sea level rise along the eastern U.S. seaboard gained widespread attention in the summer of 2009, when dozens of communities suffered from unexpected flooding during clear weather. City and state officials reached out to NOAA seeking answers. What, they asked, was going on? . . .

. . .A recent paper in the journal of Environmental Research Letters by three Harvard University professors tested the hypothesis "that the rate of price appreciation of single-family properties in MDC [Miami-Dade County] is positively related to and correlated with incremental measures of higher elevation." Using the value of 107,984 properties between 1971 and 2017, they found a positive relationship between price appreciation and elevation in 76% of the properties (82,068) in the sample.
A similar study by economists at the University of Colorado and Penn State found that beachfront homes in Miami exposed to rising sea levels sell at a 7% discount compared to properties with less exposure to coastal flooding. Moreover, the discount has risen significantly over the past decade. Comparing rental rates to selling prices of coastal homes, they found that the discount in selling prices "does not exist in rental rates, indicating that this discount is due to expectations of future damage, not current property quality.". . .

    What is causing all of the bad storms, flooding, droughts and forest fires.

God, Troll.  God is doing it because of all the gays and all the abortions that have happened.     Just ask any crazy evangelical fundie preacher!

Mother Nature just like she's been doing since the beginning of time. There have always been bad storms, flooding, droughts, and forest fires.

  In my time, 80 years there has never been any melting of both of the poles of the earth and oceans raising.  I can't remember the droughts, floods, forest fires that are going across the world as it is now.  California is burning down.  Puerto Rico totally destroyed by a hurricane.   It just couldn't be global warming.

80 years? My father  at 89 said that is but a flash.
Who knows what the next 89 will bring?

  Yep, in a flash or a blink of an eye.   Even I was born before television, computers and cell phones, cars with power steering and air conditioning.  But with the population growth, global warming,    with the growth of automation  and the growth of predatory capitalism.  Empowering of the super rich people  and corporations  and the browning of America.  I can't see anything for the future of the American middle class, but poverty and servitude.

  At my age I most like see the hothouse earth.     But if does happen I hope "ME" and Henry are here to experience it.     Old and broke.
