While one of my New Years Resolutions is to make sure a majority of the posts on the blog are patch related I couldn’t let this one slip by (and it’s not 2008 yet :-).
Say what you will about the looming catastrophe facing the world as the pace of global heating and polar melting accelerates. There is a silver lining.
Look at a map of the US.
…..The area that will by completely inundated by the rising ocean—and not in a century but in the lifetime of my two cats—are the American southeast, including the most populated area of Texas, almost all of Florida, most of Louisiana, and half of Alabama and Mississippi, as well as goodly portions of eastern Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.
…The important thing is that we, on the higher ground both actually and figuratively, need to remember that, when they begin their historic migration from their doomed regions, we not give them the keys to the city. They certainly should be offered assistance in their time of need, but we need to keep a firm grip on our political systems, making sure that these guilty throngs who allowed the world to go to hell are gerrymandered into political impotence in their new homes.
There will be much work to be done to help the earth and its residents—human and non-human—survive this man-made catastrophe, and we can’t have these future refugee troglodytes, should their personal disasters still fail to make them recognize reality, mucking things up again.
It should be considered acceptable, in this stifling new world, to say, “Shut up. We told you this would happen.â€
Now this is an editorial and only one mans opinion, but I can only imagine the furor this would have created it it was the right talking about the left rather than the reverse.

Bill Quick had this response:
Heartwarming. Of course, remember that the response of desperate hordes of “conservatives†migrating from doomed homelands to your “Shut up,†might very well be “Bang.â€
Just saying.
