The North Carolina legislature has passed a bill that requires its coastal planning commission to ignore the accelerated sea level rise predictions of global warming scientists and instead use more conservative numbers.
The North Carolina legislature has passed a bill that requires its coastal planning commission to ignore the accelerated sea level rise predictions of global warming scientists and instead use more conservative numbers.
To put it another way, North Carolina has decided, for coastal planning purposes, to use the slower linear rise in sea level that can be extrapolated from the actual data that scientists have gathered for the past century, and not use the models pushed by the IPCC and other global warming scientists that predict an acceleration of sea level rise in the next century due to human-caused global warming.
This decision by North Carolina has happened because increasingly people of good conscience no longer believe anything the global warming activists in the climate field are telling them. These scientists either perpetuated scientific fraud to sell the idea of human-caused global-warming, or have been willing to whitewash the fraud of other scientists. Rather than listen to them, the North Carolina legislature has decided to interpret the data independently. The legislature might very well be wrong, but what else can they do? They certainly can’t trust the claims of the climate field.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Here in New York, in 1995, local government passed a seismic code for the first time. Interestingly enough, there really has never been a major earthquake in New York, certainly not for over 100 years. But planning is planning, and as the New York Daily News said,
“New York hasn’t experienced a serious earthquake in more than 100 years, so they don’t get much attention. But after a 1984 quake in Mexico City killed nearly 5,000 people, the city decided to look at its codes.”
A linear look would not have made them pass the code.
I guess it never occurred to local Republicans to legislate against what seismologists and science was telling them. Actually, even more heartening is that it never occurred to politicians that this was anything more than a science and planning issue. Certainly it was not a political issue.
Here is the simple fact: events don’t always occur linearly. Those who are prudent look at outside factors that may effect that line in a more dramatic fashion.
In this case, North Carolina developed a commission to make recommendations. Those recommendations were made, and because some politicians don’t like them, the rules are being changed. Politics dictating to how science is being measured.
You can’t make it up.
Actually you can. Its a bit like Springfield, where the Simpsons live. After a meteor crash, it was decided to burn the observatory down…just to insure that another meteor crash does not happen again.
