In Erasing the Past, Denying the Future, Adam Lee reports:...North Carolina, which likewise has a long, exposed coastline vulnerable to rising seas and stronger storms, actually passed a law banning the state from taking future climate change into account when predicting how sea-level rise might affect coastal development and flood insurance rates. The law, which Scientific American’s Scott Hutler mocked as “making sea level rise illegal“, says, in part:These rates shall only be determined using historical data, and these data shall be limited to the time period following the year 1900. Rates of sea-level rise may be extrapolated linearly… but shall not include scenarios of accelerated rates of sea-level rise. Obviously, we need laws that prohibit public policy from being based on anything less than all available evidence. People are going to die from this crap.

Evidently, I rock!
Why not question something for a change?

Yep. What gets me is that the military has issued statements and are actively making plans to mitigate the problems they see with regard to climate change and their bases on the east coast, as well as climate change being a threat to national security. And you know... The military isn't exactly a bastion of liberalism.

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Yup. NASA, NOAA, the entire US military, the AAAS, the National Academy of Sciences... The list is long. But some politician who failed every science subject from jk to university has figured out that it's a hoax.
