Well, there is geological evidence that the entire state of Florida except for one little hill (they call it a mountain but 300 feet is not very high by Texas, New Mexico, or Colorado standards) has been fully submerged more than once. All of that limestone was once coral reefs. And as that dissolves, you get sinkholes, which Florida is pockmarked full of.

The following was from May 14, 2014... 500 day later would make it Sep 26, 2015.

Likewise, this is a screen shot of a seminar by Jorgen Peder Steffensen of the Niels Bohr Institute Department of geophysics. The videoclip was made in 2018. On the left, you have Temperatures recorded in Celsius. On the bottom line, you have a time stamp in thousands of years with the far right being 2018, the -2 is 2000 years ago, -4 is 4000 years ago, -6 is 6000 years ago and -8 is 8000 years ago! He was at a research site in Greenland where they dug down 3 kilometers into the ice and measured various things including the sediment and other properties in the ice to determine it's average temperature at the time it was frozen.

The lowest temperature on the far right was from the 1800's and it was -32.6 degrees Celsius . And you can see that the ice temperature today is still cooler than the largest spike in the last 2000 years. And you can also see that 4000 years ago, 6000 years ago and 8000 years ago temperatures were -29.6 degrees Celsius!

What his point in the lecture was that we didn't start measuring these temperatures until the chart was at it's lowest point ever. Which means that anything they measure from that time will show an increase. But if you look back in time, temperatures were actually higher... long before industrialization, cars and other pollution creating things.

And this is my all time favorite:

FWIW

Hipsters live in coastal cities?

That is a real bridge and not for sale.

I heard that temperatures are rising on Mars, also. The Martians must have been driving SUVs all over the place, but the rovers haven't spotted them for some reason.

LOL...

But tens of thousands of airplanes with jet engines that spin at over 50,000 or greater revolutions per minute do fly all over the world daily. Each one of those engines create an intense amount of heat which they blow out the back of their engines. With 2 to 4 engines per most aircraft, we're talking a major amount of heat being pumped into our atmosphere daily.

But nobody ever seems to mention their effects on global warming.

Because it's only we the serfs who are supposed to change out lifestyle. Our ultra-powerful and rich overlords have exempted themselves to preserve the luxuries to which they have become accustomed.

Those who toil daily in dense traffic to provide the luxuries for the elites are the ones who always bear the brunt of edicts from on high.

Ahhhh... it's good for thee (serfs)... but not for me (ultra-powerful and rich overlords)...

Sounds like another liberal double standard... but it doesn't even work for all the liberals... only the elite calling the shots.

FWIW

You are right. One set of standards for those in charge and their friends, another for everyone else,

The elites always exempt themselves.

look at kim Jong un and his well fed corpulent self, versus the starving North Koreans.

Well, remember when Obamacare first came out? All of Congress were exempt from having to join... everybody else was forced to get it and taxed if you didn't... except the elite Congress persons!

FWIW
