But it will happen, maggot. And you're a fool to think otherwise and an asshole to lie to others.

The world isn't burning. The hottest daytime temperatures on Earth are well below the ignition temperature of wood or grass. Not everywhere even has anything that can burn.

Of course we're angry. You keep shutting down economies. You keep trying to implement fascism by oligarchy.

Look, you can build the biggest dam in the world and shut the sluices tight, inevitably it's going to burst and the flood will come. All right wingers can see is the symptoms, as long as they can't see the symptoms personally they're totally OK with it, not my problem.

The ocean has no dam.

30 Years Ago Officials Predicted The Maldives Would Be Swallowed By The Sea. It Didn’t Happen

Environmental officials warned 30 years ago the Maldives could be completely covered by water due to global warming-induced sea level rise.

That didn’t happen. The Indian Ocean did not swallow the Maldives island chain as predicted by government officials in the 1980s.

In September 1988, the Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported a “gradual rise in average sea level is threatening to completely cover this Indian Ocean nation of 1196 small islands within the next 30 years,” based on predictions made by government officials.

Then-Environmental Affairs Director Hussein Shihab told AFP “an estimated rise of 20 to 30 centimetres in the next 20 to 40 years could be ‘catastrophic’ for most of the islands, which were no more than a metre above sea level.”

The article went on to suggest the Maldives, along with its 200,000 inhabitants, could “end” sooner than expected if drinking water supplies dry up by 1992 “as predicted.” Today, more than 417,000 people live in the Maldives.

“Call Noah and have him build another Ark,” Daniel Turner, executive director of the pro-energy group Power the Future, told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

“Bring out the Coast Guard. Send all the boogie boards and floaties you can find for the Maldives is going down,” Turner said sarcastically. (RELATED: NYT Continues To Push FAKE NEWS About Hurricane Florence And Global Warming)

The Maldives are among the island nations often held up by United Nations officials as being on the “front-lines” of man-made global warming. The island nation was among the first to apply for Green Climate Fund aid, but the funding hasn’t been flowing, according to The New York Times.

“That’s too long to wait,” Maldives energy and environment minister Thoriq Ibrahim told The Times last year. “There’s no use having a fund somewhere if you can’t access it quickly.”

The Maldives are indeed low-lying islands with its highest point only reaching about eight feet above sea level. But obviously, decades-old warnings the Maldives were on the verge of being swallowed by the seas didn’t pan out.

A recent study projected low-lying reef islands, like the Maldives, could become “uninhabitable” by the middle of the 21st Century because too much sea water will get into freshwater drinking supplies.

The study projects “sea-level rise and wave dynamics over reefs will lead to the annual wave-driven overwash of most atoll islands by the mid-21st century.”

However, other research suggest the Maldives and other coral islands may actually be expanding, not sinking into the sea.

New Zealand researchers published a study earlier this year based on aerial photos and satellite images of Pacific islands over the last four decades that found most atolls they examined were increasing in size.

The results echoed a 2015 study by the same lead author that also found coral island expansion. Study lead author and scientist Paul Kench told The New Scientist “that the Maldives seem to be showing a similar effect.”

I get out that way occasionally. No difference from the first time I was out there 40 years ago. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

As opposed to Venice, not itself. Haw, haw........................................haw.

You're out of your depth, bath-tub Billy. Just stfu and put on your goatskin for the boys.

They started building a massive flood barrier way back in 2003, it was supposed to have been completed in 2011. The major was arrested in 2014 on corruption along with a host of others. Now of course Italian eco-loonys are concerned about the project so who knows when it will be finished?
 
The project is outdated, maggot. It didn't allow for accelerated global warming. That's the global warming that you deny is happening, of course.
Cross Venice off your vacation list.

I've never denied anything, disingenuous cunt. I've said over and over that I'm a lukewarmer. Venice has suffered from floods for very many years, it's opportunistic Marxist bullshitters like you that want to tie every fucking weather event to your political agenda. If you were more honest you'd admit that, however dezinformatsiya and agitprop are your go-to watchwords.
 
Ah- so you're NOT a front-row Denier Choir soprano then, maggot.


Haw, haw.........................................haw.

Now for that all too rare quality called common sense, Moonshite has never displayed much of that. Bullshit, bluster and bombast are his go-to strategies.
