Nice try.The “consensus” is based on myriads of “facts” (measurements in this case) established by thousands of highly qualified scientists all over the world. Against that (as far as the evidence presented by your military historian goes) is the “extrapolation (of sea levels of the recent past) to 2100”. Talk about missing the point!
Imho it would be immoral not to inform “kids” (and everybody else) of anthropogenic climate change while there is still time—precious little time as it happens—to mitigate its catastrophic effects.
Occam’s razor doesn’t “suggest” anything, it prunes away over-elaborate hypotheses in favor of simpler ones with the same explanatory power. In the present case, there are 2 competing hypotheses:
1/. The properties concerned were purchased by a couple of prominent Democratic politicians (both currently out-of-office) with secret knowledge that AGW is a hoax.
2/. The properties concerned, though coastal, are so situated as not to be in immediate danger of flooding
Implied by the first, is the existence of an otherwise undocumented left-wing conspiracy—Gore and Obama surely not being the only members of the Democratic elite in on the secret—to foist AGW “alarmism” on the general public.
Motive? Beats me. . .. But maybe you could suggest one?
Implied by the second, is due diligence in the purchase of coastal real estate.
Motive? Investment or some other legitimate purpose.
I’m pretty sure how Occam’s razor cuts in this case.
That fact is Obama is the ultimate hypocrite. Actions do indeed speak louder than words.
Who spends $14 million (investment or otherwise) on a property soon to be underwater!?
