thank you kbear..
all i could do was shake my head.
smitty..
the MSM is having a more difficult time justifying covering sensationalist non-news stories since America started expecting at least a modicum of actual truth
excepting FOX news of course.. where most news programs are entertainment creating their own headlines and the ever burgeoning cult of personality)…
not an expectation at the Telegraph..
James Delingpole is creating his next 5 minutes of fame in the great Brit news tradition … with more controversy and sensationalism.
I haven’t looked at the science behind Seattle’s geography, but a glacier wouldn’t surprise me since we knew they were here…
had we been living here at the time i am sure we would have applauded the glacier’s retreat..
but at the moment no-one with any sense is applauding the retreat of any glacier on the lower 48… or anywhere else either..
In Alaska shoreline communities are rapidly disappearing as the rising water claims the land natives were forcibly settled on by the US government.. Not much cheering there either.
What is different now is the speed at which the change is occurring.. and the speed at which we are adding pollution to our atmosphere and contributing to our own climate problems.
If we see houses disappearing into flood plains, we build dikes. Woudl we stop building Dikes and retaining walls simply because some people believe they will ultimately fail?
Why would taking action on cleaning up our atmosphere be any different?
A very small dose of common sense clarifies this issue pretty quickly.
