   This is so true. Reminds me of a comic ad run on radio station KRLA in Los Angeles during one of the “California will slip into the ocean” flaps in the sixties. It featured a man named Sam Andreas selling beach front property on the Ca./Nev. border. It was a hilarious spot.

   I heard he was responsible for the earthquakes they’ve been getting - they say it was Andreas’ fault…

   I’m all set. Three properties in the California Central Valley, and one emergency backup property at Lake Tahoe.

   When the Big One hits, I’ll be beachfront all the way.

   Actually, the entire west coast will remain intact as the rest of the country slips into the ocean.

   Well, this sums up the whole Global Warming issue pretty well… and possibly a few other things to boot.

    wndrwrthg,
    Yes indeed, the joke goes back to the sixties. In fact, there was a song from 1969, “Day After Day” by Shango, whose whole theme was ‘California’s slipping away, tie up the boat in Idaho.’ The whole song is on YouTube, if you’re interested.

    Its funny I can so relate to this comic. My dad’s family moved out here to California when he was 7 in 1955. He remembers people telling him, his siblings and parents not to go because the Big one is coming and they would all die. 54 years later were still waiting.

    Dtut - another good one was California Jam by KLAATU:
    …
    California’s on my mind
    Surf and sand setting in the sun
    California’s on my mind
    One day you’re gonna be
    a place in our memory

    Ah, California
    She’s in mythical Malibu
    Sitting on the ocean
    Goodbye mythical Malibu
    The San Andreas Misfortune
    Will claim the lives
    of sons and wives
    The headlines will fill page after page

    I see Al Gore went into the Real Estate Business, to take advantage of all those people he’s suckered.

    Set ‘em up, knock ‘em down.

    Well lame, I see you live up to your name. No-one has been suckered, climate change is true, much to our determent. You may deny and bury your head in the sand, but the facts are just that.

    Yeah. It’s all a big hoax. Just a scam. Another vast conspiracy. Keep telling yourselves that.

    If the ocean levels come back to Pleisticene levels before the last ice, there will be plenty of oceanfront along the Interior Seaway. Most of southern and western Oklahoma will be prime beachfront. So will New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota….

    ~~ Allegory, it’s the essence of satire

    For all you people who think that Al Gore was right, did you know that he has a beach front house? So either he doesn’t believe his own propaganda about ocean levels rising, or he’s just not too bright.

    dtut said, 6 months ago

    Personal opinion: he’s just not that bright. He considers himself very sophisticated about science and technology, but he’s not. He has a lawyer’s understanding of science, not a scientist’s.

    I’ve watched him since the mid-1980s. Global warming is at least his third tech crusade in that time. He was dead wrong on the first, got ridiculed for the second, and got lucky this time. He finally latched onto a cause that is both scientifically tenable and politically correct, and he’s riding it for all he’s worth.

    the GhostPony said, 6 months ago

    Gore? Gore who? Is this some sort of fetish some of you have?

    I know how to read. Research in scientific journals, magazine and newpapers articles, white papers, opinions of leading scientists around the globe. The vast majority agree that it’s here, it’s happening and probably too late to reverse.

    Nature has a way of evening things out- when we starve from crop failures, there’ll be fewer of us driving cars & less need for coal fired power plants… But think… we’ll be able to sail to the North Pole, right?
