They say the midwest, from Wisconsin down to Texas, will be seeing 125 degree days within 30 years.

that would be miraculous since the planet hasn’t warmed in 15 years. the data is out and we are not getting hotter.

yeah... not getting warmer at all.

to deny global warming is to engage in abject twattery of the first water.

people just like to blur the lines around causation and correlation to create confusion, just like tobacco companies did when smoking/cancer link was first mooted. add to that the difficulty of understanding long terms trends means that people of lower intelligence find global warming a difficult thing to understand.

we should pity these people not hate them

Climate hysteria and launch of the nationwide "resilience" bureaucracies is the next step of the leftist takeover of federal government, public education, higher education and the highest levels of the scientific community. With this foothold, it is now embedding itself from the top down in every state, regional and local government planning agency in the country. Their primary carrot is federal grant money, which local govt cannot say no to. The most common ploy: Our planning agency will give you a 100% grant to write your City's Resiliency Plan, if you let us write it for you.

The longstanding science- and risk-based criteria for limiting land development is the 100-year flood elevation, which by definition has a flood occurrence rate of once per 100 years. The climate based "resiliency bureaucracy" is imposing no-build flood zones based on a flood occurrence rate of once per 2000 years (as derived from published probability criteria of the NOAA models). For my City, this resiliency methodology increases the local flood elevation by 8.5 feet. The resiliency people have no idea of the concept of risk/public investment balance or the return period of their fantastical "sea level rise" predictions. They are applying this same criteria nationwide, to your own hometown.

Any wanker can cherrypick data and make a pretty graph that will "prove" anything.
