Rising sea levels have long been a favored Imaginary Problem of the left. We are told that Florida will be submerged, New Orleans under water, and the streets of Manhattan will soon be navigable only by gondola. Immigration groups urge that both Icelandic fishermen and Venetian gondoliers should be given accelerated naturalization to provide transportation in newly flooded areas.
But, the record of actual sea levels measured at nine different places around the word seems to show that sea levels are dropping.
Leftists are aware of this. They are already preparing frightening scenarios about oil tankers running aground, container ships unable to reach the docks, and oil drilling rigs finding themselves on dry land. Additional lies are being prepared about “Vital beaches left high and dry!”, “The destruction of littoral food chains!” and the ever-present, “Will we survive the calamity?”, all of which are invariably accompanied by the “More funding is desperately needed!” lies.
It takes an average of three and a half years for scientific facts to be turned into alarmist lies, so we still have at least a year or two of Rising Sea Level Lies before they are replaced with Dropping Sea Level Lies.
