New York Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D) and forty members of Congress believe the sea levels are rising, that a panel should be created to determine what should be done, and, of course, to throw billions of dollars at a problem that does not exist. Politicians were eager to scare the public with the discredited global warming hoax and now they have found a new one.

In New York City, Mayor Bloomberg has proposed a $20 billion flood barrier system to protect the city from future hurricanes and rising sea levels. Well, hurricanes like tropical storm Sandy are real, but rare. Rising sea levels, however, represent no threat at all.

William Happer who researched ocean physics for the U.S. Air Force and is currently a physics professor at Princeton University notes that "The sea level has been rising since 1800, at the end of the 'little ice age,'" a cooling cycle last from around 1300 to 1850. Far from heating up, the Earth entered a new cooling cycle around 1996 or so.

Harrison Schmitt, a former Apollo 17 astronaut, U.S. Senator, and a geologist, says "Predicting a sea level rise of seven feet over the next few thousand years would seem too risky a prediction on which to spend tax dollars" and that is surely an understatement. Wasting billons on "climate change," however, is the new siren call of the Obama administration, but the National Research Council is warning, as Fox News reported, "that those kinds of subsidies are virtually useless at quelling greenhouse gases."

In fact, as the amount of carbon dioxide, the leading greenhouse gas – alleged to "trap" heat – has risen and has had zero effect on the cooling cycle.

Drowning in sea level nonsense

Good scam, many will be duped into giving up their own as well as their neighbors money to fend off the sea level boogyman.
