Oh I’m well aware of the beach restoration process. My property taxes helped pay for the last one.
The sand pumped onto my beach wasn’t because of global warming lol, it was because of erosion. Erosion happens to be a natural occurring incident for coastal communities by the way.
Anyways, when the beaches are left to erode, yankee tourists have a habit of drowning from the undertow. This sort of puts a damper on our local industry. So we shell out some money to pump sand off the coast to keep the pale fat northerners from smelling up our beach with their bloated carcasses. It negatively impacts the surfing conditions but it’s a trade off of that I’ve come to terms with.
We have a beach north of us called Playlinda. Back in high school it was a surfers dream. Even on a calm day you could usually get in a fuck ton of decent sets. The tourists stayed their fat asses on the sand because 20 feet into the surf your ass would be swept off your feet. It was really a surfers paradise. Hell, we still have a fully nude section fully reserved for the horny craigslist gays.
Anyways they decided to ‘restore’ Playlinda. Gone is the killer shore break and now it’s full of pasty people who apparently aren’t good at exercise. They even charge you to drive out there.
My point is beach restoration projects aren’t designed to combat global warming, they’re designed to increase revenue.
Ok, I checked out your link. Obviously I didn’t click each answer or else I wouldn’t be posting so soon.
Look, I have no doubt that humans are polluting this planet. Look at pictures of Detroit or Chicago or Mogadishu and it becomes apparent that we are destroying this place.
My beef is with the scare tactics that are used to profit off the retards. Those same politicians who preach climate change have a larger carbon footprint that me, you and 20 of our friends put together. That’s hypocrisy at its finest.
People have been eating up the doomsday bullshit since the beginning of time. From religious wackos claiming the world is gonna end tomorrow to the hippies who claim the world is gonna end tomorrow.
You think a scientist is gonna get extra funding for claiming everything is cool and the earth goes through phases every once in a while? Of course not. It’s much more profitable claiming Hawaii is gonna catch on fire soon, just need more funds to study when.
Can you imagine the success of a newspaper who’s front page says “Everything seems normal today” when the newspaper down the road is screaming “WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE, PART TWO TOMORROW”?
Psssstttt…that was a poster speaking, not a moderator.
Oh, and we have no standards. We did once, but we voted for beer and wings and no standards, so now that’s the norm around here. Don’t feel bad. I can tell he likes you a lot from his nice message though. He never talks nice like that to me.
Spreading the Word about the upcoming rapture to get extra tithes to finance your new BMW is the same as spreading the Word about the upcoming global flood to get extra funds to finance your new Mercedes.
Climate change is the new religion used to fleece the rest of the population out of money who don’t believe in Jesus.
Somewhere there’s a big party room full of rich religious republicans and rich global warming democrats high fiving each other over the multitude of scams they’ve enacted on the millions of blissfully ignorant fucks on this planet.
You made the claim, George Liquor, you put up the evidence. Where’s the hordes of cackling Democrat climate change zillionaires? Should be an easy enough claim to support…
Typhoon Tip (1979) still holds the record for lowest barometric pressure and square footage, Hurricane Patricia only has the highest reliable sustained 1-minute wind speed record. We’ll have to wait until she’s spun down before we can calculate the ACE value, and she’s a rather physically small storm so don’t expect stellar numbers there.
The storm itself is fairly normal for this part of the world, neither global warming nor climate change is needed to explain why.

I’m a newb here so I haven’t really become completely familiar with everyone’s name but from your total lack of anything even remotely containing substance you might be the first to grace my ignore list.
I bet that really hurts huh? A supposed “troll” putting your boring ass on ignore…
Red herring, it is the preponderance of evidence that it is making the scientists make more money than the quacks, if you were correct on this then one would think that medical scientists that make more money are wrong and the chiropractic quacks are right.
The point of looking at the funding of the deniers is to also note that the ones getting funding to seed FUD are also people that are not experts in the field (so they can be bought at cheaper prices). They abuse science to make fear, uncertainty and doubt. They get funding that although it is not as big as real science it is nevertheless enough money to allow the trolls and the ones that follow them to be more effective than they would be. The big bucks are nowadays for the Republican politicians that also eat the FUD with gusto.
