RUSH: The local newspaper here, the Palm Beach Post<\/a>, ran a story this morning by Dara Kam, and this is the headline: ‘Could Global Warming Wipe Out Palm Beach County? — Palm Beach County\u2019s shape puts it at risk, experts say. If global warming continues at the rate of acceleration currently experienced, Palm Beach County could disappear within less than a century, a climate change expert told the Florida Cabinet on Tuesday. The curve of the county that causes it to ‘bump\u2019 out into the ocean farther than the rest of Florida\u2019s east coast makes it a poster child for the damages global warming can cause, cautioned Stephen Leatherman, director of the International Hurricane Research Center at Florida International University. ‘Palm Beach not only gets hit by hurricanes but, more importantly, the erosion is caused by the winter Nor\u2019easters,\u2019 Leatherman told a global warming panel composed of Gov. Charlie Crist and the Florida Cabinet on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

”It\u2019s an erosion hot spot,\u2019 said Leatherman, also known as ‘Dr. Beach,\u2019 because he ranks the worlds\u2019 best beaches each year. I still don\u2019t think we have a comprehensive knowledge of the Palm Beach situation.” Now, so, of course, this is something that the liberals in this county are going to buy and believe, and it\u2019s just going to be that will panic them even greater and further. Right here, you people know we are on that curve. Right at this minute, our EIB studios are right on that curve that ‘juts out\u2019 as it is described. I mean, how many curves are there in our coastline? East and West, North, how many curves? This one curve going to wipe out Palm Beach County in less than 100 years. The guy says that it\u2019s really not so much hurricanes. We don\u2019t know what\u2019s happening to the sand here. We keep replenishing the beaches and the sand goes somewhere. Somebody want to do laser and satellite surveys to find out what happens to the sand during erosion? It\u2019s just preposterous. How long has the curve been here? It\u2019s still here, and we\u2019ve had hurricanes and we\u2019ve had warming for how long? We\u2019ve known the coast of Florida to be what it is for how long? How many hundreds of years has it been the way it is, and it\u2019s still here? <\/p>\n

You know, I live on Palm Beach, which is an island, and you know, it hasn\u2019t changed in the ten years I\u2019ve been here. The land that was here is still here, and I\u2019m sure it\u2019s been that way for a number of years. This is a classic example of the kind of just uninformed fear and panic — and, you know, there are a lot of people in the global warming movement who are beginning to worry that some of these claims are now getting so outrageous and just so unbelievable that they\u2019re turning people off, because if it\u2019s that bad, there\u2019s nothing we can do to stop it. What can we actually do to stop Greenland from breaking in half, for example? If somebody says — if God said — Greenland breaks in half in 2030, what could we do? There\u2019s nothing we could do to stop it. People think that. You think buying lightbulbs is going to fix it? You\u2019ve got another think coming. They\u2019re running the risk here… In fact, I think they\u2019ve already done it. You talk about jumping the shark? I think the global warming movement has jumped the shark long ago, and ceased to have any relevance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
