so, I've been waiting for all this sea level data to show the rise of the oceans, since all the warming has been going on for so long.

an average of 1/700s of an inch? Did I read that right? So in 700 years it will rise an inch? I actually think that IS wrong, I think it's more like 1/10th of an inch. Run, rabbit, run.

note the "among" they popped in there. Yes, it's been warmer lately, no one denies it. But by using "among", they try to negate the 4 out of the 10 warmest years prior to 1952. Nice try.
Meanwhile, they're still predicting severe hurricanes and feet of ocean flooding in Florida:

Thank god the Geology department is getting in on this. I was hoping those studying igneous rocks would let me know how the global climate was changing.
of course, Hillary likes to get in on this:

It's part of a package she calls the most comprehensive offered to tackle global warming.

I'm sure the rich, and probably evil Big Oil, maybe some smokers, will pay for all this. Not the average tax payer or anything.
Bonds, funds, they all come from one source - you. She's taxing and taxing, and paying for all her little projects (like the new U.S. Toy Testing Agency) with your money. You go to work, work your ass off, and they take 20, 30, and under her, 40-50 percent. For what?
So they can hold your hand? Well, not yours, you're RICH! You can pay for everyone else's health care, and college, and gas bill, and mortgage bail out, and toy testing, and fuck knows what else she'll come up with.
Who the hell is voting for this woman? I hate to say it, but you're a non-thinking goddamn idiot if you are. Welcome to Socialism 2.0, except we'll call it "Progressives" instead. Progressing your country into the shithole.
