1. Once the country drowns, they'll turn to a democrat to fix it.

I remember screaming talking heads complaining bitterly that the economy wasn't "fixed" within weeks of Obama's election.

Weeks - yes, before his inauguration.

2. It is Forbidden to speak of Climate Change in Florida.

Gov. Skeletor made sure that those words are stricken from every state document, committee and meeting minutes

So it's probably not a problem. /sarcasm.

3. Is the state of Florida still banning the mention

of climate change in their pubic documents? They've already waited to long to start remedial projects to protect costs cities. The shortsighted politicians don't want to anger their voters (There's another reason to have term limits) so no one will raise taxes to protect their own state. Meanwhile the ignorant people who deny climate change and object to any government spending just pretend nothing is happening.

New Law in North Carolina Bans Latest Scientific Predictions of Sea-Level Rise

Aug. 2, 2012

A new law in North Carolina will ban the state from basing coastal policies on the latest scientific predictions of how much the sea level will rise, prompting environmentalists to accuse the state of disrespecting climate science.

The law has put the state in the spotlight for what critics have called nearsightedness and climate change denial, but its proponents said the state needed to put a moratorium on predictions of sea level rise until scientific techniques improve.

The law was drafted in response to an estimate by the state's Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) that the sea level will rise by 39 inches in the next century, prompting fears of costlier home insurance and accusations of anti-development alarmism among residents and developers in the state's coastal Outer Banks region.

Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue had until Thursday to act on the bill known as House Bill 819, but she decided to let it become law by doing nothing.

The bill's passage in June triggered nationwide scorn by those who argued that the state was deliberately blinding itself to the effects of climate change. In a segment on the "Colbert Report," comedian Stephen Colbert mocked North Carolina lawmakers' efforts as an attempt to outlaw science.

"If your science gives you a result you don't like, pass a law saying the result is illegal. Problem solved," he joked.
