Mother Nature has a brutal sense of humor, when she’s ticked off at being ignored.

Sadly, one smack doesn’t do it. You have to hit him again and again. (Then he’ll complain about YOU not doing something about the problem sooner.

If global warming is a fact and it is a fact that man is causing it so it will continue to get worse, why are we rebuilding along the coastline?

Same false premise as always. Yes, climate changes. It does so all the time, and mostly in cycles. Yes, man contributes to greenhouse gasses.
It’s false to claim that there are many who deny that.
However, many deny that man contributes enough to the total to be responsible for the climate changes, and that Cap and Tax will make any difference except to be costly to businesses and consumers.
Am I wrong? Show me the undeniable published data that proves otherwise.

Because there are always going to be rich idiots who will pay exorbitant amounts for land, and houses, and to get flood insurance so they can say “We Live on the Coast, and the Views are SO Beautiful!”

I’m so glad you’re easily distracted from my policies by a few good conspiracy theories.
Don’t pay any attention to the fact that I’m surrounded by George W. Bush’s advisors or the fact that my friends in Congress promise to help return to Bush’s policies of regulatory incompetence, crony heads of government agencies and costly military mis-adventures.

Are you saying that only rich people got hit by Sandy?
My question is unanswered.
If GW is a fact and man is causing it, why would we rebuild along the coast line?

The weather is going to have to get a lot worse than this for people to see any connection. In the meantime, big trucks rule!

Global warming is cyclic, yes.
Technological waste greatly accelerates the process?
.
Yes, in the short term the quickly added pollution is causing a bump.
In 150 years the temperature line will be exactly where it would be without the help, indeed mankind’s contribution is merely a bump in the road to hothouse..
.
Curious why surviving it isn’t being addressed. There is no stopping the warming, look at the records.

It’s that alternate Universe we keep hearing about where things like this don’t happen. We all can’t live in Uranus like you do, but then who would want to ?

You can’t address it if you are unwilling to acknowledge its existence. Even the people who will admit to believing in climate change, but who don’t believe it is contributed to by man’s quest to burn as much fossil fuel as possible, will not address it, because it would lend credence to those who believe that man is part of the cause.
