I keep a running list of US politicians who chatter incessantly about climate change causing coastal erosion and what a major, impending problem it is....and have also bought homes along the Florida coast. 

These same people usually also don't have anything good to say about the sociopolitical environment of Florida. 

I hope they have good insurance for when their fancy homes are inevitably flooded and washed away.  It's very noble of them to purchase those properties so that poor, unsuspecting low-information troglodytes don't foolishly wind up with them.  We should volunteer to pay more taxes and increase their salaries, the least we can do for jumping on those grenades for us.

The median projection for sea level rise by 2100 is one meter, which isn't good of course, but neither is it 40 feet.

We can build more dikes.:)

Delaware's average altitude is about 60 feet above sea level, which is the lowest average of any state.

The army of fossil fuel and petrochemical representatives also outnumbered independent scientists 4 to 1 and outnumbered the collective delegations of the 70 smallest countries put together.

I think it may have really started with Al Gore's "movie".  Now we have a schism, any conservative can hardly think CC is a problem, and any liberal has to.  It's clearly partisan, when it should be technical.

I think the technical parts are just too complex and myriad for casual voters, it is for me anyway.

Yeah, we're going to see reported a continuous string of:

1.  How bad it is.
2.  How bad it will be.
3.  How we're not meeting the requirements to stop it.
4.  How we need more meetings to talk about it.
5.  More agreements, to be followed by not meeting the promised actions.

Reality does not care.
