Greenland: enough ice melted on single day to cover Florida in two inches of water
Data from Danish government shows vast ice sheet lost 8.5bn tons of surface mass on Tuesday
Remember how all the republicans laughed at Al Gore over his movie 'An Inconvenient Truth?
Well, here we are. Just like he said.
Well, here we are. Just like he said.
I have to admit I also laughed at Gore at the time. I believe in the climate problems,

His house isn't quite half that size. It's large, yes, but nowhere near 20,000 square feet.
If memory servers, it's 9,780.

I agree with Gore, I just didn't think he was the best representative.

Fact Check: Is Al Gore's mansion a lot less green than George Bush's ranch house?
Times-Union readers want to know: An email I received, "A tale of two houses," compares Al Gore's mansion in Nashville to George W.

My brother just got back yesterday from this farmers gathering where they talk about issues, which local politician to bribe, etc and get this shit. Water is now so scarce especially in the southwest that people are stealing it. I'm not shitting. I didn't believe it either until he starts showing me all kinds of news stories about it.Greenland: enough ice melted on single day to cover Florida in two inches of water

They're tapping into fire hydrants, main lines, even aquifiers and shit stealing the water because there's none left. Nobody is even talking about it but from what my brother is saying this keeps up and this country will lose about 50% of its farming within the next 10 years.

They were talking about that months ago because of two reservoirs going dry. One of them was lake Mead, which the Hoover Dam created. It's so low they had to install new and improved turbines to keep it able to generate any power at all.
They also are going to have to cut off supplying water to farms because there simply isn't enough anymore.
Right now, it's 161 feet LOW.
South Florida is already fucked. Things going like it is Miami beach will be underwater in 20 years. The city of Miami will be knee deep in water and will have to either build a huge dyke system to keep the water out of relocate inland.Greenland: enough ice melted on single day to cover Florida in two inches of water

I watched a special a few months back about how the rich are buying up the higher ground north of Miami where mostly black folks live, jacking the rent sky high and evicting them all when they can't pay in preparation for when it becomes beach front property.
It's revolting.

That building is about three blocks from mine. I also got lucky by parking on the elevated deck. Some people went out to find their cars in the lower deck under fucking water. I mean totally submerged.
