That'll affect the east coast of the USA because of how it's going to get higher seas than most (with West Antarctic melting plus land subsidence IIRC), and is also prone to hurricanes.Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-70347886428097722712015-08-28T22:31:26.043+10:002015-08-28T22:31:26.043+10:00has _been_ constructedhas _been_ constructedMagmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-59163173922699536882015-08-28T22:10:45.174+10:002015-08-28T22:10:45.174+10:00Bernard J.

These days it's probably a more lucrative proposition to help businesses plan for climate change than to try to get money from clients who want to deny the inevitable (professional lobbyists excepted, but that wouldn't be an easy game to break into).<br /><br />Somewhat warped ideology and a predisposition to conspiracy ideation, or a tendency to right wing authoritarianism is much more likely.

Spend it any way you want and feel free to stall action against oil any way you want."<br /><br />Here's a real quote: “I do receive some funding from the fossil fuel industry. My company…does [short-term] hurricane forecasting…for an oil company, since 2007. During this period I have been both a strong advocate for the IPCC, and more recently a critic of the IPCC, there is no correlation of this funding with my public statements.”Joenoreply@blogger.com
