Manila has been below sea level for DECADES, long before I visited in 1982 when I was in the Navy. They have pumps and walls to keep things dry. But this makes good press.

Agreed it makes good press; but, if you view the headlines at SFGate they are all Golbal-Climate-Change-is-proven-based and there seems to be a policy of writing as many such articles as possible. Now if they cans just start Chronovirus due to Golbal-Climate-Change-is-proven, it will be complete.

The decline of the yeomanry threatens the future of democracy as we have known it. Faced with growing assaults on their businesses, and in some cases, their communities, they have begun to fight back against many of the policies, notably climate policy, that are widely supported by the oligarchs and the clerisy. A policy to force the rapid replacement of fossil fuels with heavily subsidized renewables requires the development of the kind of largely unaccountable bureaucracies that both employ and empower the clerisy while providing the oligarchs both in the US and Europe with a unique opportunity to cash in on energy “transitions.”

Yes, there's a ton of money to be made by the liberal elite there, at the expense of ordinary people.

Booger says

That's how Joe Cocker wound up a Gimp.

The following quote is from the Washington Post, the November 2 edition.

“The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot” according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulate at Bergen, Norway.

Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm.

“Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones”, the report continued, “while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.”

Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.

“Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coast cities uninhabitable.”

Two things about that article however. It was published in 1922 and you can fact check it on Snopes.
