The government of Australia really has bought into the whole global climate change thing. They recently released a warning to Aussies that the ocean will rise 1.1 meters over the next 90 years endangering everything within 500 meters of the coast.
Okay, so somebody explain this to me. 1.1 meter is about 3 1/2 feet. You mean people built buildings along the coasts that are less than 3 1/2 feet above sea level. What idiot did that? I've seen that surfing movie where they went to Australia to surf. I know some of those waves are more than 3 1/2 feet tall. So how come everybody's basement isn't full of water every time the surf gets a little gnarly?
And are you telling me that some guy with a 50 million dollar building in the flood zone is going to sit there while the ocean fills up the mezzanine? You're telling me, he's NOT going to spend 50 or 60 grand to help build a 5 foot dike along the shore line to prevent flooding? I mean it worked for the Dutch for crying out loud. Why not for Australia? Shoot, while we're at it, why not move the new dikes a bit farther out and add a little more expensive real estate to the coastline?
Are you telling me that in 90 years we can't move a little dirt down to the beach and raise the sand 3 and a half feet? Plant a little grass? Human beings are a bit more resourceful than the doom and gloomers think we are. I think we can handle 3 and a half feet in 90 years. We do have a lot of dump trucks and bull dozers. Think of it as lots of new "green" jobs.
Besides, apparently the leading global climate change scientists have been making data up all this time because - let me get this straight - they were afraid that if they couldn't get the data to prove global warming was happening in time, it might be too late by the time they did get it to stop it so in order to save us all from ourselves they lied about the data in order to frighten everyone into going along with a gigantic effort to stop global warming which they actually don't have any real proof for and then when the annual temperatures started to drop they renamed it global climate change hoping no one would notice it was getting cooler and so they kept on with the whole thing because, hey, even if the climate doesn't change, a massive socialist world government and redistribution of wealth will be good for everybody anyway.
Man, the 60's must have been really good to these guys......
