The climate left is fond of showing ginned-up pictures of what sea-level rise would look like in the future. We are barraged with model projections turned into images of flooded cities <\/a>on a regular basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, in one of the most egregious cover articles ever,\u00a0National Geographic<\/em>\u00a0used the Statue of Liberty to illustrate what they think future sea level rise would look like.<\/p>\n\n\n

Of course, I had to take down their idiotic claims with some simple math in\u00a0this post<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
