Barrow, Alaska is in jeopardy. The sea level is raising and the warming is occurring at a rate that is twice as fast as the rest of the United States. Will it be next to receive a climate refugee grant? What about all the other states that are on the coast? East, west, south? Lots of islands and low-lying land. Wonder how much is in the budget for climate refugees?.
Interesting one area is warming faster than the rest of the area. Maybe someone left a campfire going.
Good enough reason to spend a few more million to research it.
Wait until you see how much it will cost to re-locate New Orleans. Of course, people are not capable of re-locating on their own. I mean, if you and I had to move, I am certain the government and all of the tax payers would fund us.
Interesting . . .
Confusing storm erosion with "global warming", or trying to use it as a "the sky is falling" tactic to justify "global warming . . . Anything to shake down the taxpayer for a hand-out. Same mentality that everyone with a multi-million dollar beach-front home uses when receiving taxpayer-backed insurance money to rebuild, yet again . . . .
And Barrow, AK? They've got to be all psyched about the "warming" up there. It might make them a new beachfront "hot" spot. (You do know that Barrow is inside the Arctic Circle?) If sea level rise does take Barrow the Maldives will already be gone; Barrow is a tad higher AMSL.
The Maldives are a good "sanity check" though. They're the true "canary in the coal mine" when it comes to rising sea levels. It's the lowest country in the world, max AMSL is 2.4-meters. Because they're coral reef and not deposited silt they're far less vulnerable to the storm erosion, will actually be affected by rising sea levels. They still seem to be above water . . .
I'm hoping the Gov. extends their good will to American citizens that have paid taxes their whole life to San Salvador island. It would be great to be next, it would be cool having tax payers pay for our next move!
Hahahahahahaha! Yeah! Right! Thank you for your very funnee answer rolle and Happy July 4th Monday! :)
