Omigod! National Geographic Warns of Rising Sea Levels Disaster! #climatechange

A couple of days ago I went to the dentist, and while waiting my turn in the chair, picked up a copy of the latest issue of National Geographic (see image on right).  I was disgusted with the alarmist article about how "fossil fuels" are causing sea levels to rise at an incredibly fast rate, threatening coastline communities and soon to drown us all.

The cover of this issue shows an absurd depiction of the Statue of Liberty waist-deep in the mythical rising sea.  Another website, C3, states that the current rise of sea levels is 2.77 millimeters per year.  At that rate (assuming it never stops or reverses), it will take 23,500 years before the seal level reaches Lady Liberty's waistline.

However, a newer study, the Grace study, has revised that prediction downward, stating that the sea level rise is only 1.7 millimeters per year, or about 6.7 inches per century.  Over the past seven years, the rise has only been 1.1 to 1.3 millimeters per year, or 5 inches per century:

The paper corroborates the NOAA 2012 Sea Level Budget which finds sea levels have risen at only 1.1-1.3 mm/yr over the past 7 years from 2005-2012 [less than 5 inches/century], and the paper of Chambers et al finding “sea level has been rising on average by 1.7 mm/year over the last 110 years.”

The conclusions are obvious:  National Geographic is now in the propaganda business of junk science, and is not to be take seriously on the question of climate change.

"Climate Change" Madness Skewered by Brit James Delingpole

James Delingpole is living proof that intelligence survives in the liberal hell-hole that was once Great Britain.  Writing for the U.K. Telegraph, he concludes that U.S. liberals "really are the dumbest creatures on the planet."  One of the major reasons for his conclusion is the left's irrational and unfounded belief in man-made "climate change."  (They used to refer to man-made "global warming," but since the earth is now in a cooling phase, changed the term to the less embarrassing "global climate change.")

Liberal environmentalists, the green mafia, insist that global "climate change" is occurring in such a way as to bring disaster to planet Earth.  They are unable to logically prove their claims, referring to anecdotal (and normal) events such as tornadoes and melting icebergs and polar bears wearing sunglasses and buying sunscreen.  We are supposed to believe their wild claims on faith, and in spite of our own observations that the weather is pretty much what it always has been.  Liberals, however, mimic Groucho Marx in asking, "Are you going to believe me or your lying eyes?"

However, you must believe what "climate scientists" say is true, or you are labeled as "anti-science."  We are not anti-science so much as we are anti non-objective, leftist scientists with political agendas seeking lucrative government grants.  Or as James Delingpole says:

[The Right] bases its scientific views on old fashioned virtues like rationalism, empiricism and open-minded, honest research rather than junk science dogma.
