Gene's Footnotes

I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information. As such, I am frequently confronted with, "Where did you hear that...." Well, here you go. If you want an email version, send me an email.

Insanity Replaces Junk Science

The National Post, a real newspaper out of Toronto, has a column called "Junk Science" that would make one chuckle if the junkies were not in power. For example, the statistics show mass vaccination for measles does not really work, even if you vaccinated everyone. A vaccine works as advertised for less than 25% of the people and that wanes over time. 

On the other hand, before government geniuses, 100% of children got measles, a relatively harmless childhood disease, so every adult had a life-long immunity. No problems existed for pregnant women. I suppose the illogic could be amusing, if not expensive and harmful. As well, it is more of the sprawl of government control.

Intrigued by recent junk science, I asked Mr. Google what the sea level was at Manhattan, N.Y.

There were endless pages of projections and illustration of Manhattan under water by 2100. Look it up, it is amazing how PR can skew reality.  No facts, only projections based upon projections. This is what happens when normal people do not hit true believers in the nose with a rolled magazine. 

The National Post gave NOW Magazine of Toronto the Rubber Duck award for publishing that by 2100 most of the CN Tower would be under water. This would be more than 1,500 plus feet of ocean rise. I am not exactly sure as Canadians use grams or liters or something like that. This projection is not silly, it is insane. Still, dopes will read it and vote for a politician who wants to tax them to build a 1,000 tall dike.  Recently, Gov. Moonbeam of California announced by 2100 LAX would be underwater; the next day he retracted the stupid comment, but, per normal, the drones watched the TV news and are in a panic over rising tides. BTW, LAX is at 100 feet above sea level. 

This took me to:  http://www.dec.ny.gov/energy/45202.html

The scope of our government's stupid positions is out weigh by the arrogance. 

Sea Level Rise

Projections and Impacts for New York

Rising seas and increased storm surges will
put New York's coastlines at risk.

By 2100 scientists project that sea levels along New York's coastlines and estuaries will likely be 18 to 50 inches higher, though they could be as much as 75 inches higher.

In New York's coastal marine counties, home to more than half of the state's citizens, higher sea levels already are intensifying storm surges and flood events. As the seas rise further, coastal communities face growing risks of damage or disruption.

Water expands as it warms, and global mean sea level has been rising since the end of the last ice age. Until the 20th Century the change was small, but then warming sped up as accumulating greenhouse gases trapped more heat in the atmosphere. The oceans grew warmer, making the seas rise faster.

Most of the sea-level rise observed to date has been due to the thermal expansion of warming waters. But today, added water from melting glaciers and land ice sheets is starting to contribute more to sea-level rise than heat-driven expansion of existing seawater. And the Arctic and Antarctic have abundant supplies of land ice yet to melt, all of which will add to sea levels.

Enough greenhouse gases already have accumulated in the atmosphere to lock in sea-level rise for centuries, or even millennia. The longer we continue to emit large amounts of greenhouse gases, the more rapidly the seas will rise...

This official, expensive web site information is, of course, 100% propaganda, which is not necessary considering our public schools do a fine job of canceling out reality.  There is no cause or effect provable regarding CO2 and warming. What is demonstrated is that AFTER warming, CO2 rises. 
The entire 20th Century did not see global warming, but wait, I am confused, are we not in climate change, as the world is cooling.  So, apparently the non global warming is causing the ocean to heat up, which is not true in any event. 
The lack of solar activity is leading us into a very cold next few decades, but that is probably CO2 somehow as well.  
Anyway, our government says melting ice causes the sea level to rise. Greg mentioned the other day a good example: put ice in a glass of water so the level is at the very top. As the ice melts, the water level decreases.

Don't get excited, just look for the blue line for the discovered sea level. The Red Sea is at an historical low. What this means is obvious to any but the True Believer.
