Non sequitur. Mexicans can build bigger ladders faster than the sea level can rise.

My apologies to any Gulchers who may live there, but as far as many of us are concerned, Seattle is welcome to follow (as well as most of King county).

Maybe Israel could help once they find out that they got thrown under the bus with the Side Deal in the Iran Nuclear Deal.
They could build a specialized submersible and bore a hole in the bed of the Chesapeake River basin towards DC then set a Tesla Oscillation Device there. New beach front property in no-time!

Best news I have heard all day. :)
Perhaps a well aimed asteroid might help it along its way towards oblivion. DC is certainly not a place implementing valid government or interest in following the Constitution or protecting individual rights.

Nope, if they can't put up a fence, Iam sure a wall is beyond even the largest agency they have. Will need a whole new "Department of SeaWalls and Barricades against the Climate change brought on by those uncaring greedy people" . Make it twice as big as the IRS and offer performance bonuses for every foot of 6 inch wall produced.

Well, here's another pork project: move them all to stable, high ground, maybe in the center of the country so all are equidistant. But solid objects only, as the biological life forms have no intrinsic value.

I don't know, I would only go there to see the museums, if they moved them out, then there is no need for it at all.

That is true. I remember the "eat all your food the poor children in Africa are starving" thing, I wanted to send them the Brussels Sprouts.

Nice John...nice...

With our luck, before it's completely under water there will be another major Ice Age to push it back up!

I like the guy's analogy with a water bed. And if they think the Chesapeake area is dramatic - try the entire New England Coast.

At the height of the last ice age about 13-15,000 years ago, the coast was under a mile thick ice sheet that weighed the crust way down. The ice retreated rapidly towards 10,000 years ago and with the crust severely depressed the ocean rose very rapidly and inundated far inland from where it is now. There are Marine sediments with mollusc shells way up the estuaries all up and down the coast. Then the crust rose rapidly in what is called isostatic rebound and the coastline retreated way out as the land rose. The Grand Banks were actually exposed as land - hence the peat deposits now submerged. The land rise maxed out like a bobbing cork in geologic slow motion and has been slowly sinking again with a subsequent rise in sea level again relative to the land.

I remember a geomorphology field trip to Cape Neddick, Maine, where we looked at old semi-fossilized tree stumps exposed only at low tide. They were dated around 7,000 years old.

Climate change, my ass. This old earth makes a mockery of silly humans that think they can even put a dent in it. The only ones that can come close is us hard rock miners - You can see Bingham Canyon from space.

That is a rather cheerful notion now that you mention it, Belle!

Ha-ha. Is someone just saying that to try to cheer
me up?
"...And sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray!"

Great Idea, I'm going to get a big piece of meat now and do just that. We've got "Seafair" today and tomorrow in Seattle so it just doesn't pay to even leave the house. Too many people everywhere.

Even if the greatest predictions of climate change were true, sea level would rise about 6 inches per century. Even governments can build walls faster than that.

maybe if we all mail them some lead shot -- with an apology for
not delivering it personally? -- j
.

We could only wish that it was at a faster pace. Mordor on the Potomac will go away but not soon enough for me to see.

I would invest in THAT!

This is another one of those distractions we will hear about for generations.Only Nancy and her botox will be preserved to see it happen. Meanwhile, the "save the African children", continues billions of dollars and decades since I frist heard it in the early 60s. What have the powers that be done, ban DDT and set the mosquitoes on everyone. The Africans have not been helped to help themselves. A car buddy friend of ours was going on about an African child dying of malaria ever so many minutes, he should know the background. Meanwhile, Gates continues to talke of "reducing" the population to stop carbon emission. Seems like the DC sinking bunch always talk out of both sides of their mouths.

Regardless of the potential ploy, I feel strongly motivated to go go out an grill a slab of meat with lots of smoke to add flavor.

Another bit of silliness on the part of CNN and other leftie climate people. If we go by things they have said in the past, by now, NYC would be underwater, all life in the Atlantic would be gone and as the oceans rise, the lakes should be dried up by now. However, if we go back to the 70's, we should be covered in a sheet of ice from the north pole to the Mason-Dixon line. However, the thought of Washington floating away annoys me because I love the monuments and museums and archives. Perhaps if the water just gets deep enough for the scumbums to evacuate, we might be able to start over.

Washington D.C. really sinking into the ocean? Thank God! Is there anything we can do to speed it up and get it over with? Or, is it just a ploy by the global warming experts?

damn right. have to finds a way to speed up the process.

They say that a statesman is nothing more than a dead politician. I say that what this world needs is more statesmen.
