[QUOTE="George Friedman-Jimenez, post: 67427, member: 1115"] Re: Hurricane Sandy Parts of NYC got slammed pretty bad. The building where I work is 20 feet above sea level and had to shut down after 17 million gallons of water were pumped out of the basement with another 10-15 million left. The pumps failed, the generators got flooded and failed, the building had to be evacuated. The water obviously came WAY above the previous 200+ year record surge of 11 feet above sea level and above the 14.5 foot surge that was officially reported. The evidence from the NYC data point supporting the reality and rapid progress of global warming was strong enough to get the NYC mayor, a Republican with a degree in electrical engineering, to endorse Obama, largely based on the astoundingly huge flood way beyond predictions. Time to rethink global warming and start paying more attention to the weight of the scientific evidence rather than the weight of the political lobbies. [/QUOTE]
