Sea level rise affects the Keys

January 11th, 2010

While Mr. Neugent may attempt to find a resolution to the issues he faces as an elected official in the Florida Keys, using pseudo-science to exact tribute from the rest of tax-paying Americans is wrong. Subscribing to global climate change as the cause of the perceived problems he faces in his position of service is fallacious!

Those scientists who espouse the doctrine of Anthropogenic  Global Warming have been debunked, permanently! The science involved requires findings to further those conditions required for more government funding. This is the essence of corruption!

People who choose to make their homes on the seashore or any other body of water need to realize THEY assume the risks of their choice. You have chosen to live in an island paradise, yet you would choose to spread your risk to me, why?

Those who choose to live along bodies of water, where property prices command a premium, would presume upon the rest of us to subsidize your choice of home. Well, history proves coastlines, shorelines and riverbanks change over time. The challenge for humans to interrupt this change are indeed steep, and probably far too expensive to be practical.

While it is a problem… Man being the cause is far-fetched! However, to presume to ask all of the rest of us to subsidize your choice of homestead is wrong!

If you are fighting a losing battle, perhaps it is Providence telling you to find another place to live. These are the hardships humanity has faced for ages. For those who choose to live on ATOLLS, where shorelines change frequently, a dose of reality is in order! Maybe it is time that government officials, who’s first priority is maintaining the status quo, need to stop coddling their constituents.

For those homeowners who live in the Keys, perhaps it is time to evaluate your future, and change your plans accordingly. Be smart, there is NOTHING humans can do to change the shorelines that is not astronomically expensive and can last for more than a generation!

Quit using climate change as a way to exact tribute from me!
