I said "unreasonable" taxes Ralph... and my twisting comment was to answer your puzzled reaction to what geologist have known for years.
Do try to read all of what I say if you are going to continue to criticize everything I post on Nomad that doesn't agree with you.

Yo
u are now starting to make things up. The plates might be sinking but they are not twisting..... And don't be so obnoxious to say that the only good
tax is one you directly benefit from.

Interesting which industries are changing their tunes....
"Chevron shares the concerns of governments and the public about climate change risks and recognizes that the use of fossil fuels to meet the world’s
energy needs is a contributor to rising greenhouse gases"
http://www.chevron.com/globalissues/climatechange/
"Total is consolidating its efforts to address climate change by supporting three international initiatives backed by the Global Compact, the World
Bank and the Climate and Clean Air Coalition"
http://www.total.com/en/media/news/...es-combat-climate-chan...
"We recognize that human activity, including the burning of fossil fuels, is contributing to increased concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the
atmosphere that can lead to adverse changes in global climate. "

Happening now: King tides and saltwater intrusion=infrastructure underwater
Put this in first post, likely not read by others so... I'll try again here
This week, many residents of the U.S. East Coast communities are witnessing flood waters rise with each high tide. These people are getting a taste of
the future. Almost like being picked to try out some futuristic device for a few days — only this is messy, costly, and, if you realize it’s a taste
of things to come, unnerving. Unwilling pioneers, in a way, these people are living on the front line of sea level rise and experiencing the periodic
soaking that others don’t yet know, but will.
It started in some places on Saturday – salt water creeping onto roads and sidewalks, into basements and businesses. It continued under the supermoon
eclipse. And over the last several days, we’ve had repeated demonstrations of the new reach of the tide – and we should expect it in places for
several days to come.
Yes, this is a “king tide” – one of those instances when the moon exerts a slightly stronger tug on the tides than normal. It happens several times
each year. This one even has a cool astronomical twist that you can read about here. But in certain affected places it is some of the biggest tidal
flooding in memory. We should get used to it, says the latest science. With sea level rise, the highest tides are only getting higher, and the
flooding they bring is only getting more frequent.

As we pump more and more water, combined with high tides (or sinking peninsulas) salt water intrusion is going to become a significant issue for
coastal communities...unfortunately most of these communities are already facing water shortages.
