Blind spot: food and agriculture
Whatever the tweeter uses as "socialism", Denmark appears to "work" better than the brutal, inhumane Capitalism of USA.
Denmark ALWAYS rates very near the top in international rankings of national "happiness" and Human Development Index, certainly ALWAYS well above "USA yeah"

Biden Promised To End New Drilling On Federal Land,
But Approvals Are Up
Approvals for companies to drill for oil and gas on U.S. public lands are on pace this year to reach their highest level since George W. Bush was president,
underscoring President Joe Biden's
reluctance to more forcefully curb petroleum production in the face of industry and Republican resistance.

Republican resistance? off
It's resistance from BigCarbon's owners of / donors to the Dems

the word-play around this has always been hilarious
conservatives will bring up that denmark states they aren't socialist as if its some kind of own
but then when we want to implement some policies similar to, say, denmark, those policies are brushed off as socialism and therefore bad

but thanks to dems for passing the Trump highway bill. I'm looking forward to my rural roads getting chip sealed again. It really pisses off the bag cyclists that come out here to ride.

Let's get science back in the classrooms!

The only solution is removing Bs of tons of CO2 from the atmosphere. Nobody wants to pay for it.
Brandon didn't mean it, one says things like this to get nominated and elected.“No more subsidies for [the] fossil fuel industry. No more drilling on federal lands. No more drilling, including offshore. No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period. Ends.”

An alarming crackup has begun at the foot of Antarctica’s vulnerable Thwaites Glacier, whose mel er is already responsible for about 4% of global sea level rise. An ice sheet the size of Florida, Thwaites ends its slide into the ocean as a floating ledge of ice 45 kilometers wide. But now, this ice shelf, riven by newly detected fissures on its surface and underside, is likely to break apart in the next 5 years or so, scientists reported today at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union.A collapse of the entire glacier, which some researchers think is only centuries away, would raise global sea level by 65 centimeters. And because Thwaites occupies a deep basin into which neighboring glaciers would flow, its demise could eventually lead to thehttps://www.science.org/content/arti...-years-failureloss of the entire West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which locks up 3.3 meters of global sea level rise. “That would be a global change,” says Robert DeConto, a glaciologist at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. “Our coastlines will look different from space.”
Rising Sea Levels Will Threaten 200 Million People by 2100The model used in the study assumes a global average temperature increase of 2° C and does not take into account the possibility of accelerated ice sheet melting.
Underrated: rising groundwater
https://www.technologyreview.com/202...ater-flooding/Arguably the first big study in a prominent scientific journal that looked at what sea-level rise might mean to groundwater levels was published in 2012 in the journal Nature by researchers Kolja Rotzoll and Chip Fletcher of the University of Hawaii. The study came on the heels of a report by the United States Geological Survey and Yale University researchers who looked at what would happen to groundwater in coastal New Haven, Connecticut, as sea levels rose. In both cases researchers found that the two would rise in concert.
“We looked at well records and found that the water table in the coastal zone goes up and down with the tides,” says Fletcher. “And so we realized there’s a direct connection between the ocean and the water table. And as the ocean rises due to climate change, the water table is going to rise and eventually flood the land. So we’re gonna have all these wetlands in urbanized areas and around roads, where we don’t really want them. And it turns out this is a form of sea-level rise that in many areas is more damaging than what people classically think of as the ocean flowing over the shoreline and flooding.”
For something you’ve probably never heard about, rising groundwater presents a real, and potentially catastrophic, threat to our infrastructure. Roadways will be eroded from below; septic systems won’t drain; seawalls will keep the ocean out but trap the water seeping up, leading to more flooding. Home foundations will crack; sewers will backflow and potentially leak toxic gases into people’s homes.
That impinges on wells, right? Wouldn't the salinity increase in florida wellheads?
I'll come bump this thread if that doesn't happen.
What keeps the ocean out now?
Bend Over, I'll show you an 8 inch riseSince 1950, sea level in the region has risen by eight inches

https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm21/meet...i/Paper/978762The Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf is the floating terminus of the Thwaites Glacier, one of the fastest changing glaciers in Antarctica and contributing as much as 4\% of global sea level rise today. This floating ice shelf is stabilized offshore by a marine shoal and acts as a dam to slow the flow of ice off the continent into the ocean. If this floating ice shelf breaks apart, the Thwaites Glacier will accelerate and its contribution to sea level rise will increase by as much as 25\%. Over the last several years, satellite radar imagery shows many new fractures opening up. Similar to a growing crack in the windshield of a car, a slowly growing crack means the windshield is weak and a small bump to the car might cause the windshield to suddenly break apart into hundreds of panes of glass. We have mapped out weaker and stronger areas of the ice shelf and suggest a “zig-zag” pathway the fractures might take through the ice, ultimately leading to break up of the shelf in as little as 5 years, which result in more ice flowing off the continent.
the deniers hate facts.
much of the derided late 1990s climate change modeling has come up well short of the measurable change. another reason to disbelieve it, I suppose.the deniers hate facts.
