Alabama is not giving us their best and brightest

quote:

"Put another way, it’s a volume of earth equivalent to taking the top five inches of every one of the United States’ 9.1 million square miles of land area and using it to coat the bottom of the world’s oceans. That would push sea levels up by 3.3 millimeters," Bump wrote.

Better sea level rise than islands tipping over.

And to think, this couldn’t possibly have been happening in the past at all what so ever. It just started and we should be seriously concerned like right now!

Democrat Hank Johnson (D-GA) suggested that Guam would tip over due to overpopulation.

"My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize," Johnson said.

So Im sure he will be calling for the return of all rivers including the Mississippi to be returned to their natural, meandering state.

Who gives a frick. It's a pretty stupid fricking thing to say if you are a lawmaker. Both parties have idiots.

The answer to rising sea levels is simply to dig deeper sea bottoms to account for the excess water

You know, somebody should really let these politicians know that no one expects them to be scientists.

It's okay to say "I don't know".

Then again:

maybe a little scientific knowledge would be handy before you accept a seat on this committee.

Archimedes discovered the Hydrostatic Principle which states that “a body completely or partially submerged in a fluid undergoes an upwards push equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.” The volume of the displaced water, when measured, will equal the volume of the object submerged in the water.

The idiocracy is officially upon us.

I could quote the stupid quotes from congressmen in that article, but it would just be copying the entire thing.

wrong board


This topic should be banned from the other board.
