Will The Global Warming Hysterics Never Tire Of Being Wrong?

- and we've derailed the thread again -

But of course you have.

I like to buy the ones that have at least a thousand reviews, and a high percentage of them positive. Some of these are not so easy to set up, but you'll find that in the comments and evaluations.

I've had no problem with the ones I've bought, and most of the switches in my house are smart switches, along with a number of smart plugs. I can even tell Alexa "set home thermostat to 74", and in a few seconds, it's set.

All of my exterior lights are on smart switches, and grouped as "outside", so Mrs CP can just say "Alexa, turn on outside" - and all of the security lights, back yard lights, shop lights.... they all come on at once.

So that honeywell thermostat works with Alexa too?

How hard is it to install?

It's really a piece of cake - they stress that you need a "c" wire in the thermostat wiring bundle, but most houses have that unless they're really old.

And, yes, we have NINE (8 at the church and one at home) thermostats on one account, and I can even tell Alexa from home to cool down my Church office before I get there.

There are only a few of us who have the account, so anybody having a meeting or doing anything at the church that wasn't programmed can just text us and we can turn on heat or air from anywhere in the world.

Why would the Obamas buy a beach front house that will probably be underwater in ten years?

It will take a lot more than 10 years to see that much sea-level rise. 1 meter is the 100 year guess right now. the house is way more than 1 meter up.

I thought the story was that the coastal cities are going to be underwater soon if we don't do something?

These are royals, there will be excuses for them.

It is. Many coastal cities and ports can't tolerate 1 meter of sea-level rise.

1 meter is looking conservative right now - glaciers and arctic ice are melting MUCH faster than expected.

A foot of average sea-level rise also translates into significantly more damage during storms like hurricanes in the low lying area. A 3 foot storm surge now does what a 4 foot storm surge did. At 1 meter in 2100, we can add a meter to the storm surge's height relative to the year 2000. That and increased average storm strength due to higher sea temperatures.

New Orleans, Miami and NYC all would have a hard time accommodating 1 meter of sea level rise. Miami would struggle with 18" by this report:

So do you want to revisit your earlier comment?

That and he was downplaying the effect on Obama's new house but saying how dire it would be for entire coastal cities because of the increased storms and so on.

This is the kind of "uncertain trumpet" that causes so many skeptics to shake their heads and walk away.

You mean about Obama's house? not at all. It won't be underwater (in terms of average sea level) for more than 100 years. Did you mean something else?

Before you start mocking a comment or an idea, you should take a little bit of time to understand it.

seer was implying the house would be 'under water' in 10 years. That is NOT an implication of sea level rise. It is already close enough to the shore to get slammed by a hurricane. But it will be a while before that land is permanently under water.

However, the implications for cities and ports that are actually LOWER from a height above sea level that that house is much more significant. Both in terms of impact to the economy, and time to which where they are would start to see the effect of sea level rise.

So - you and CP's mocking posts are the mocking of the ignorant. It just makes you and CP both look stupid - which I know you are not.

well - yes Sparko. If Obama's house gets wiped out - that impacts Obama. If the New York City Ports are ruined, that impacts the economy of the entire US.

What is so hard to comprehend about that?
