Comment Re:Climate Deniers: What is your defence for this? (Score 1) 366

Actually there have been calls for massive government intervention and widespread, harsh restrictions on people's daily activities, not to mention the economy as a whole, in order to "combat" what is now referred to by the nonspecific term "climate change." Your often uninformed commentary from a fringe perspective does little to flatter you.

It's kind of irrelevant what the Florida government or the Koch Brothers Family of Astroturfers think. The insurance industry accepted the reality of AGW quite some time ago...

So you're saying the insurance industry has acquiesced to accepting a reason to raise rates and cut coverage, or otherwise avoid risk that might, might arrive in 100 years. Gravy.

"Love" that you managed to work in a "Koch Brothers" reference, relevent or not. Any chance you'll be working in Soros in the future given his widespread and toxic activism?

Are insurnace companies that do business in Florida regulated by the state of Florida, like they are in every other state? Just curious.

If you RTFA -

Written because the models predicting doom weren't trusted and offered no useful guidance on what to if if 2,100 sq miles were going to be under water

If the predictions of doom* in 100 years are correct they would still have 96 years to act. That might be enough.

The Republican politicians are paid to do this. If you want the truth don't vote republican.

Interestingly enough the article appears to be false in at least some of its claims. Take this, for example:

Sustainable Initiatives

An official State of Florida web site using the word "sustainable." That isn't supposed to be possible, is it? Makes you wonder how much more of the article is false, distorted, or blown out of proportion.

Oh, and look! Here is one on climate change!

What is Climate Change?

And more on climate change.

Climate Changev/ Water Management Connections (PDF)
Climate Change Action Plan for the Florida Reef System 2010-2015 (PDF)

Look at that, actual plans for action on climate change, not just hot air and alarmism. I thought that wasn't possible?

Now I've got a question: Who paid you to post that?

Where is your "proof" that anybody was paid to do this? I think you're simply a liar, and a slanderer.

If you want the truth you need to look past lying ACs. It''s almost as if getting the truth about Republicans on Slashdot is even harder than getting climate models right.

Have you not see the stupid lawsuits brought by fringe environmentalists that greatly drive up the cost of much economic activity for little or no benefit? Have you not seen stupid government regulations that either prohibit various activities or greatly drive up the cost of various economic activities for little or no benefit, or even create actual harm? Surely you can't believe that ALL rules are good rules that must be imposed according to the whims, agendas, or mistakes of bureaucrats and political apointees? Is your thinking that all politicians are evil and untrustworthy, but bureaucrats and political apointees are all sages, angels, sweetness and light? Or is it even simpler: bureaucrats sounds like Democrats and therefore have your unthinking support?
