Well, Red. Not well read.
There is no rational connection between the plausible anthropogenic global warming believed to follow the known properties of carbon dioxide and other polyatomic gases we humans release into the atmosphere, and any political agenda.
A rational connection with known science would be the basis for changes in policies perhaps, maybe building some infrastructure, maybe altering land use plans or zoning specifications. Rhode Island, perhaps, could really look to the future as a small cluster of islands off the East Coast peninsular New England. Might be enough dry land there, still, to be one state instead of say about six.
But it's no excuse for world government, carbon taxes, or wealth redistribution.
Having reviewed the data a bit, I see the claim is that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has risen, and is expected to rise. And there is this ice shelf still hanging on to Antartica that looks like it will slide off and melt away, that's huge enough to make a splash and raise the level of bathtub Earth's "oceans".
However, there is factual reason to believe there is still a global climate cycle that causes periodic and prolonged Ice Ages, whose proven scale is about ten times the global warming we're all excited about.
I'm betting on the Ice Age. I'm buying cheap desert land near the benches/beaches of former Great Basin lakes, and telling Brighamites in Utah that the coming lakes will precede the coming of Christ and the that maybe the Garden of Eden or Zion should be relocated to the Rio Grande valley.
And, Red, I'd sell any Rhode Island real estate if I could. Even if the shoreline adds lots of bonus acres to shoreline plots, it'll all be ice-covered. Even you, with your dreamy visions of the New England you know and love, will turn to new visions of paradise in the Bahamas.
And all those Anasazi ruins will go up in the dust of Rockefeller coal mining operations. That's why your gov made all those "preserves", ya know. Couldn't let the Dutch or anyone else ever make claims on all that coal.... enough coal to fuel the smudgepot Earth with not only heat for homes and businesses, and the fuel for cars and buses, but to be just burned for the CO2 value to warm up our little planet a degree or two.
