REAL WORLD

With the "flat earth society" headed towards Washington D.C., It is worth looking at some real life just a few miles from their new doorstep.

Many Norfolk residents hope their problems will serve as a warning.

“We are the front lines of climate change,” said Jim Schultz, a science and technology writer who lives on Richmond Crescent near Ms. Peck. “No one who has a house here is a skeptic.”

Meanwhile, the GOPs fiddle while Rome floods.

Rep. Joe Barton (TX), that intellectual giant who chided the government for blaming BP, says that his god made the world and will protect it for man's enjoyment. Nothing to worry about here. Either his god or he is an idiot.

Another GOoPer says that CO2 isn't a poison gas because it is in the air we breathe in and out. Put him in one of those humane slaughter tanks with all CO2 and see how he makes out with the good air.

These bastards are not all dimwits. Some are wily.

They are all beholden to the energy interests who will fight this thing down to the last gasp. Theirs and ours.

The question is when we get to the tipping point.

Norfolk is tipping.

Some of this cannot be saved even now. It is bad money after good. The most valuable real estate becomes worthless.

Soon, enough will be losing by this that there will be a huge outcry. Can it be soon enough?

It is too bad that we have to depend on economic necessity to dictate what should be thoughtful, science based decisions.

Right now, I would put my money on the energy guys and advise the real estate interests, mostly little guys, to move back from the edge.
