Rejoice! Global warming will kill Santa…and the entire right-wing, too!

By Michelle Malkin • December 27, 2007 10:46 AM

Update 11:47am. Video – President Bush reacts.

Dave Lindorff calls himself an “award-winning journalist” who also happens to be an impeachment freak, 9/11 conspiracist, Mumia abu Jamal cheerleader, and one of the nutballs who accused President Bush of being wired during a 2004 debate with John Kerry (remember “Bush’s mystery bulge?”)

Now, he’s eagerly rooting for global warming to wipe out conservatives. They’ll lose Santa and the reindeer, but the upside is that the right-wing of America will sink into the sea, too!!!!!!

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. While the northeast will also see some coastal flooding, its geography is such that that aside from a few projecting sandbars like Long Island and Cape Cod, the land rises fairly quickly to well above sea level. Sure, Boston, New York and Philadelphia will be threatened, but these are geographically confined areas that could lend themselves to protection by Dutch-style dikes. The West Coast too tends to rise rapidly to well above sea level in most places. Only down in Southern California towards the San Diego area is the ground closer to sea level.

So what we see is that huge swaths of conservative America are set to face a biblical deluge in a few more presidential cycles…

…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.”

Behold the face of liberal peace, harmony, and tolerance (or the cover photo for Unhinged, Vol. 2):

Ha! Heather, I do not even argue the GW with the liberals in the office. It’s like smashing my thumb with a hammer repeatedly (except the hammer smashing feels better). I just tell them the world will be destroyed by nukes anyhow. It usually ends with – “You are probably right” and me agreeing because I am a conservative and I don’t need to be told what to think!

Fortunately I live on the Mississippi River bluff and so I’m about 900 feet above current sea level. Rising sea levels drown the Left and East coasts. And the downside is….??

More liberal whining while conservatives grin and bear outpouring more of our money to the very liberals who hate us with a passion and liken us to backwards troglodytes, but naturally aren’t too proud to take our money.

Think NOLA only include the populations of Boston, NYC, Seattle, Portland, Atlanta, Miami, etc.

I bet if it happens under a Democrat they will still blame the policies of George W. Bush 40 years previous.

The sad part is conservatives will open their homes and their wallets again, and we’ll be hated and spit on again, and all we’ll get from our liberal betters at the end is “we told you so.”

I just hope that when the floods come to the red states as a result of global warming hysteria, Nagin and Blanco aren’t incharge of my state’s relief plans!!!!

I saw this the other day and sent off a letter to the editor. I’ll repost it here if that’s OK. It probably won’t ever see the light of day otherwise.

Dear Editors,

This article by Dave Lindorff is the most contemptuous opinion piece I have ever read in my life – something I thought could only be found in the pages of a Michael Crichton novel. There is no compassion in Mr. Lindorff’s words for those millions of lives that will be imperiled by his doomsday scenario. There is no attempt to grieve for the children who by no fault of their own are born into the areas of America he describes. Instead, there is gloating. Gloating over the deaths of the conservative elderly. Gloating over the deaths of the conservatives in the Midwest farming communities. Gloating over the demise of American lands and citizens for the good of the Left.

According to Mr. Lindorff, when the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free migrate to the Utopian lands of the Left, they are not to be greeted with open arms and golden lamps but with reprimands and the bitter condemnation of the Left “on the higher ground both actually and figuratively.” To those who complain, they will recieve a heartfelt “Shut up. We told you this would happen.” How deplorable.

To remain silent in the face of such political malice is to abdicate my rights in a cloud of apathy. I cannot be so busy in my life that I allow such hateful sentiments to remain unchallenged. Silence in this case is approval. Most Americans, such as myself, are a little to the right or left of the middle. We must raise our voices as loudly as Mr. Lindorff’s so that there is balance.

There is much evidence to the contrary in regards to anthropogenic Global Warming theories, such as CO2 levels follow rises in temperature as opposed to inducing them, that cloud cover in tandem with solar cycles cause warming conditions, and that “Global Warming” per se is not global at all but regional and often linked to urban areas that are heavily developed (where the temperature stations reside). There is ample evidence to show that the changes we see about us have been going on for centuries on this glorious planet, such as organic matter and ancient mining communities revealed in the receding snows. Alarmism has replaced activism in the fight against pollution and the ravaging of our lands. Science has taken a back seat to politics.

What cannot be disputed is that Mr. Lindorff’s opinion piece displays* an unkindly attitude towards his fellow man, and a self-righteousness that is every bit as ugly as that found in the most extremely religious Far Right. Mr. Lindorff may have the right to voice his opinion, but he should be ashamed for having done so.

I was on HuffPo and some commenter gave a couple of Lindorff links, approvingly. This dude definitely dropped too much acid in the 60’s.

He also wrote a book about Mumia.

This guy is almost beyond parody. He’s the stereotype lefty loony come alive.

Global warming will be revealed as a hoax, just like malthusian doomsday predictions of Paul Ehrlich were refuted by Julian Simon in their celebrated wager.

The predictive power of the global warming lunatics’ computer generated climate models must be put to the test in the same way.

The greenies should make some medium-to-long-term predictions, predictions that can be either verified or falsified, and then stand by them and be willing to have their theory judged on the merits of its ability to accurately determine future climate conditions, or else STFU.

Lindorkk should STFU, regardless. His lack of seriousness is an affront to journalism.
