I was on the fence but dumping paint on Stonehenge and on a green at PGA event has me convinced to support whatever these people say. Where do I sign up for more taxes so this all goes away?
Supercharged flooding caused by climate change is threatening the region of the US that least believes in climate change . . .

I don’t watch FOX ‘News’ - I watch MSNBC (purely for the entertainment). I don’t have a cult leader. I don’t vote or give money to politicians because they’re all owned by the same people. And I don’t attach myself to useless causes like global warming.
I like how the right's narrative has changed from "it's not happening" then to "it's natural" to now "well what are you liberals doing about it?!?!?"

Looking at those numbers it would appear the odds of all the non believers posting on this site would be astronomical, Yet here we are it seems.
Oh, I get it. You’re one of those morons who thinks if a person despises Biden it automatically makes them MAGA.
Politicians are degenerates and sociopaths. Doesn’t say much for people like you who want to empower them. 🤷♂️
global warming/climate change is not a "cause"
It is a fact.
Chuck Hagel, former Nebraska Senator, wishes he had not listened to Big Oil back in the 1990s, because he now asserts they outright lied to him and the American public, about the problem they were creating. He wishes we had acted more aggressively back then, >20 yrs ago.
That's all in parts of his interview in the Frontline documentary.
Kind of like storming the Capital to stop the Steal back in the day, huh? Both sides are loaded with fruitcakes….in fact the prisons are full of them.
I’ve lived on the river all my life. In Iowa it’s government subsidized field tiling and more roadways around rivers moving water faster to the rivers than ever before. I’m sure that doesn’t fit your narrative.
Sure bud! I assume you’re MAGA because you’re posting history eludes to it. I actually agree with you if you truly believe politicians are degenerate sociopaths.
I've been saying that for years, especially concerning nitrates.
We can still enjoy boats, big homes, multiple homes, SUVs, and go to Europe correct?
Give me my “I care more and use more ribbon”.

You assume because you’re programmed to assume.
Can you find a single post of mine supporting Trump? I know you can find a ton of my posts ripping on republicans.
I disagree with him on Israel. He for sure gave his consent to Mike Johnson stabbing his base in the back. I absolutely hated his covid response, though probably in a completely different way than you do.
He destroyed the economy. He acts like a child.
If it was a fact then why was the original wording of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) summary changed AFTER it was approved by the scientists who worked on it?
Someone in a position to do so was bought off.
Hoax.
But it's supercharged!
Fake news and you are a Chicken little and a clown. It’s rising at a rate of .14 inches a year and if you understand basic math you’re full of shit and at best a consistent cuck.

I see that Kim Reynolds has pulled out her tin cup and is demanding Joe Biden hustle up and send cash to Iowa. She ignores climate change, and makes no attempt to mitigate the effects, but she sure does love that free money.
I'm glad she was able to take time off this week from performance art at the Southern border to spend a few hours flying over rural Iowa.

The (federal) government is your enemy until you need a friend.
I, like you hope the flooding in NW Iowa doesn’t take away from her Texas border duties. Abbott needs her to push his chair every so often.
Actually, the amount of SLR varies along the coasts, with some seeing much faster rise - in part due to contributions from land subsidence.
Just spitballin' off the bottom two graphs here, SLR in the SE and Eastern Gulf has risen from around ~0.2m to ~0.35m from 2010 thru 2022 (not inclusive of 2023 and 2024 here).
0.15m of SLR is about 5.9". And rising 10.2 to 10.7mm per year now, which is not quite 0.5" per year, so that puts the numbers squarely into the 6-7" rise since 2010, as noted by the WP article
Rapid Sea Level Rise along the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts during 2010-2022 and Its Impact on Hurricane-Induced Storm Surge - Climate Program Office
Sea level rise (SLR) is a major consequence of climate change. The densely populated U.S. East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico coast are vulnerable to SLR and extreme events. In the past six years, for example, major hurricanes and associated storm surges have caused significant and catastrophic...

Gulf Coast sea level rising at ‘unprecedented’ rate, recent studies find | Houston Public Media
Average sea levels along the United States' Gulf and Southeast coasts have been by about half an inch per year since 2010, about three times more than the global average, according to recent studies published in Nature Communications and Journal of Climate.
www.houstonpublicmedia.org
When ocean temps are much warmer, thermal expansion is higher - currently ocean warming, and not land-ice loss, is the primary driver of SLR. And we've seen some of the warmest Atlantic temps recently, ever recorded.
Combine that with land-ice losses (which are increasing) and the fact that the loss of the Greenland ice sheets alters the gravitational attraction of the water toward that landmass - shifting it back toward the equator, you're going to see higher SLR numbers along the US east and southern coasts, than global numbers.
In those graphs above, the black lines indicate the "global average" SLR, which makes it fairly obvious there is a much larger rate of SLR going on in the regions examined here.
These are facts. Whether you like them, or not.
I saw another “past vs. present” photo comparison last week pushing the claim that sea level hasn’t changed. Obviously, those photos prove nothing, but couldn’t they be used for the opposite purpose? Couldn’t it be shown that under similar tidal conditions, sea level has gone up?
Why would you want to rely on single "photos", vs satellite altimetry data and tidal gauges which have continuous records for many decades?
Clarity and to get consensus. There have been some objections by scientists about the final wording but it's because the implications of climate change were softened. Likely to appease climate change deniers.
Your point is well taken but it undermines your position.
Estimates of Sea Level Rise:
- NASA's Climate Change and Global Warming Program:
- According to NASA, global sea levels have risen about 3.2 millimeters per year since 1993. This rate has slightly accelerated in recent years, leading to a total rise of approximately 80-90 millimeters (3.1-3.5 inches) from 2010 to 2023 (Project Des Moines) .
- National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA):
- NOAA reports similar findings, indicating an average rise of about 3 millimeters per year over recent decades. Their data also show an acceleration in the rate of sea level rise, particularly over the last few decades. This suggests a cumulative rise of around 70-80 millimeters (2.7-3.1 inches) from 2010 to 2023 (Project Des Moines).
- Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC):
- The IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report (2021) indicates that the average rate of sea level rise has been 3.7 millimeters per year from 2006 to 2018. This accelerated rate points to a rise of approximately 70-85 millimeters (2.8-3.3 inches) since 2010 (Project Des Moines).
That would have to occur to be accurate. And even if it did, in this case the science is saying climate change is happening even faster and with more impact than what was reported.
You fail on multiple aspects here.
Natural disasters are precisely why we need a federal government, and a fiscally responsible one at that, genius.
It doesn't take a super high level of intelligence to delineate between expecting the federal government to step in and assist during a crisis beyond a state's resources, while also being concerned with overreaching and bloated agencies... but basic common sense is hard for some.

Vaxx/Climate Change deniers/Flat Earthers, Moon Landing Fakers, etc., have had their brain cells evacuated.
Brain dead, melodramatic libs have no cells to evacuate.
But you all are quite adept at signaling your virtue.
Just like covid, climate change is a hoax.
Why stop there? Was the moon landing faked? Earth flat? Election stolen?
You're a rube
Moon landing? Flat earth? Lmao. Are they crises?
As far as elections go, like Emma Goldman said - if voting changed anything they wouldn’t let us do it.
🤡
Non-denial. Perfect.
How about Polio? Was that a hoax as well? How about 9/11? Inside job?
You're a rube.
The irony is you pretending to care about climate change and reducing the carbon footprint while taking a flight to Hawaii because "vacations are important".
Libs have the brain cells know how and when to applying science and learned experienced to deal with world problems, and not to go off on weird tangents with conspiracy theories and junk science to validate unproven and spurious arguments.
You are an extremist. It has nothing to do with having opinions. You refute factual information.
