Road Hazard: Sea-Level Rise Toll May Be Worse Than Predicted
Gov. Martin O'Malley warned in December that rising sea levels over the next century would threaten "400 miles of roadways," when he signed an executive order making protection of billions of dollars in state infrastructure a top priority.
However, a CNS analysis shows the total impact, factoring in county-maintained roads, could be much worse.
Maryland is home to more than 5,200 miles of state roads and about 21,000 miles of county roads, according to Maryland State Highway Administration documents. A CNS analysis found that roughly 800 miles of roads would be affected if sea levels rise another 2 feet. At 5 feet, an estimated 3,700 miles would be under water. More
The executive order means the money is being spent now as we speak! Money spent on fear of something that MIGHT happen in the future. Money spent on a rumor that the sea level in the bay would somehow rise faster than anywhere else in the world!!!!!!
People listen to historians even though they weren't there to witness what happened. Why? Because they are smarter than you in that field.
People listen to the Bible even though it was written a few hundred years later by someone who wasn't there!
So why is it so difficult to believe scientists. They are literally seeing these effects in the present, and are way more intelligent than you or I in their field!
Time for another TAX.

ReplyDeleteAre you pissed yet?
Maybe the level will rise so the Baltimorons can no longer come over to Shore and Easter Shore can succeed from Maryland.
