Think of the mouse as socialism. Think of the cheese as our earnings stolen by thieving, cheese coveting socialists. Think of the broom as karma.

Humans colonizing space is the greatest load of bull**** ever foisted on a gullible public. Mars is an uninhabitable dump !

 

It would not even make a good POW camp.

 

I don't personally want to go to mars.
No water for my boat. None except some polar ice caps, teeny ones.
They used to be bigger, but global warming shrunk Mar's ice caps too.

Darned human CO2 leaked up there somehow, I reckon.
But, someday, I hope we will have star ships.
Gotta do Mars and get THAT tee shirt first.

Good morning Mr E.
Buen manana, Hoyt.

Also we need a new moon.
An assistant moon.
Our old one keeps getting farther away, and pretty soon we'll be wobbling without it's strong tidal force to stabilize us.
One scenario is swiping one of Jupiter's smaller moons, to improve tidal force that's weakening from remote original moon..
I think a big asteroid would do, and they orbit roughly half way between Mars and Jupiter.

13 Million in US Could Become Climate Refugees: Top Counties Affected

http://www.livescience.com/54042-climate-change-could-force-coastal-retreat.html

More than 13 million Americans could become climate refugees by 2100 if the worst sea-level rise comes to pass, new research suggests.

Rising seas caused by climate change could permanently flood hundreds of U.S. counties, according to the study. The hardest-hit county will be Miami-Dade, Florida, where 2 million people could be forced to relocate. In fact, Florida is home to about half of these potential U.S. climate refugees.

"The Great Migration of southern African-Americans from the South into the North is pretty much the same kind of magnitude we're talking about it if we don't adequately address sea-level rise," said study co-author Mathew Hauer, a demography doctoral candidate at the University of Georgia in Athens. [See Which Counties Could House the U.S. Climate Refugees]

In the NOAA's worst-case scenario, the oceans will rise about 6 feet (1.8 meters), on average, by 2100. These NOAA estimates account for permanent coastal flooding but not other potential hazards of climate change, such as increased hurricane numbers and intensity or storm surges.

 

I'm thinking no, they didn't. I'm thinking they bellied up the the Federal feed trough over the years, glommed unto all the free money for levees that they could get and then spent the money for other things, setting themselves up for disaster, upon which after said disaster occurred, they then bellied up and glommed on to all the free money that they could, again, this time for many billions.

You know that thing about which states are welfare queens? Like for every dollar they give the Federal Gubmint in taxes compared to how much they receive from the Federal Gubmint? Every one knows the red states are the queens of welfare. Louisiana is 47th receiving about $3.33 for every dollar they put in. Florida? It's even worse. It ranks 48th, receiving a little over $4.50 for every dollar they put in.

California ranks 14th, getting back a little less than a dollar for every dollar put in.

So yeah, if any of you Californians want to know how to do it, don't bother going to the url above, as it's a Page Not Found. Apparently what you have to do is talk big and and become shamefully huge USA welfare queens, like Louisiana and Florida.

see if that works. Does for me. Course this morning the other url worked for me too.


And if you think Social Security and Medicare are welfare, think again.
I paid into those programs for 50 years I worked, paid more than I'll ever get back.
Because my benefits are in devalued dollars getting less valuable everytime the government over spends another trillion.

That's MY SS money, not the governments.

https://wallethub.com/edu/states-most-least-dependent-on-the-federal-government/2700/

Florida is in the least 5 for govt contracts, in least 5 for direct fed payments, in least 5 for grants received.

so for what are we getting fed money?
doesn't say.

probably social security, we got all those snowbirds retired here, but ss isn't fed money. It's Our Money!

 

I remember Katrina vs Louisiana the same way, trough-wise.

 

Not only Louisiana and Florida are about to be a huge USA welfare problem its when their children that many gave no consideration for the their near future become climate refugees.

When the Mississippi flooded 25 odd years ago is when I decided to design a water craft that could help saves life's or at least prized items that are trapped by floods especially animals and why I called the idea Myark after the children's story myth, Noah's Ark..

I believe the Myark folding amphibious trailer water craft have a promising future and why I am establishing myself presently in China for eventually mass manufacture to supply future refugees at no profit in Louisiana and Florida.

The Myarks come with a tent stored inside pontoons that can be placed on top of deck for shelter and have room in the sealed hatched inner pontoons for fresh water and emergency food supplies and most of all you can place your towing vehicle on top that is now able to cross flooded regions to dryer land.

Pictures is one of my out dated early proto type design Myark self trailered folding pontoon that I donated to poor people in Africa who lived on a river island.
I designed as I manufactured a one of to go on the back tray of 4X4 Toyota utility to cross harsh remote country side in Senegal, how ever I still made it to be able to be towed as well.

A block of ice the size of Rhode Island just broke off into the ocean

http://www.businessinsider.com/giant-ice-block-breakup-arctic-2016-3

A roughly 2,000-square-mile block of ice just broke off in the Arctic Ocean.
The chunk, which sits in the Bering Strait between Alaska and Russia, took just two days to separate from the surrounding ice.

And thanks to NASA, we can actually see it happen.

Here's the ice just three days ago, on March 12. You can see that it is just starting to crack and break up:
http://www.businessinsider.com/giant-ice-block-breakup-arctic-2016-3
Earth is now emerging from its warmest winter on record. The Northern Hemisphere in particular also just slipped past an alarming 2-degree-Celsius average temperature for the first time in history.

Polar regions like the Arctic are our canaries in the global-warming coal mine. We're already facing worldwide sea-level rise and extreme-weather events that are now officially linked to climate change.

If this isn't a wake-up call, we don't know what is.

 

We will wait and see.

 

Here is my first attempt at writing a short story, just finished a few weeks ago. It has some flooding in it, like 8000 years ago. Hope you enjoy it. Reference is to the Storrega slide causing a tsunami that triggers Lake Agassiz and Lake Ojibway to release out through Hudson's Bay. It also has some fun near future dystopia which I am sure you will all enjoy.

Uh, am I in it? Thinly disguised villain, no doubt?

 

I assure you all the characters are composite, but you can be part of Frank McKenna if you wish. ;-)

 

After I read and find out who Frank is, I'll let ya know if I'm mad and if you need to avoid Florida or not.

Okay, not mad, read it, enjoyed it, a bit confused by it.

All those initials I presume are knighthoods and royal orders honors.
Unfamiliar to most US'ens.

You are a talented writer. Is the poetry also yours original?

Sounds a bit like the "dumbing down" of US public schools, except it's discontinued higher math curriculums ect here.

Clearly Mr Hudson was NOT being promoted.
And McKenna was the hatchet man.

Anyway, intriguing plot, want to read more of the story.
Hope you find a SciFi publisher. Good Luck and persevere.
