Southern Africa is enduring fierce freeze this week as a blast of polar air engulfs the likes of SA, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, as well as Angola, Zambia and Malawi.
Coastal regions are struggling to climb above 10C (50F), while at higher-elevations and inland, frosts are proving widespread, with reports of rare snowfall coming out of some unusual spots such as Zimbabwe and South Africa, such as Johannesburg.
Following yesterday’s reports or rare summer snow at Skardu, heavier accumulations have been noted elsewhere across Northern India, including Losar in Lahaul and across the Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh.

"Rising sea levels" has been one of the climate alarmist myths that just doesn't hold water. For a time the UN used to use the South Pacific islands nations of Tuvalu and Kiribati as poster boys for "rising sea level" saying they would be the first countries consumed by the sea. However, a funny thing happened. A university in Australia decided to measure how fast the islands were disappearing, using recon maps from World War II and comparing them to aeriel photographs from today. When they did the comparision, they found that most of the islands were actually growing not shrinking, and at least they had the honesty to publish their findings, even though they put egg on the face of the climate alarmists and the UN.
With all the climate alarmist oracles like Al Gore and Barack Obama buying multi-million dollar seafrong mansions, it is clear that even they do not really believe the hogwash about rising sea levels. After all, actions speak louder than words, as the old saying goes. Heck if we believed some of Al Gore's early rantings, Florida would not be here today. Then, of course, there are the documented warm periods of the past, like the multi-century Medieval Warm Period, when it was warmer than today. None of the low lying port cities of that era got flooded by "rising sea levels". Thats a fact! Or the granddaddy of all warm periods, the Holocene Maximum, which was much warmer than today and lasted three thousand years. It corresponded with the Bronze Age of human development, when ancient Greek culture thrived. We know where the coastal cities of ancient Greece were located, and again, there was clearly no "rising sea level" inundating them. The facts do not fit your whack-a-doodle theory. |

Why is Desatan spending 550 million to improve infrastructure due to raising sea leaves in southern Florida? What’s going on there?
|
|
Florida has had more severe hurricanes and hurricane seasons in the past. The big difference now is the amount of development, but much of that development now has a very strong building code on resisting hurricane damage. The state's insurance program is solvent while charging lower rates. If some of the private companies can't hack the competition, then that is why they leave.
|
|
Yes it has. Maybe because the other companies have found it unprofitable due to the fact every other year they have to pay billions in hurricane damage or it could be just a "thing" that happens for "reasons". I'm stumped.
|

A decade or more ago, the state of Florida set up its own property insurance company because the rates of the commercial insurance companies were too high. Private insurance companies have sporatically left the market since then. Personally, I do not care much for government competing with private companies, but that is what has been happening in the Florida insurance market.

|
Insurance companies abandoning the home insurance market in Florida? What’s that about?

If ignorance is bliss, Little Bobbie, then I guess you must be the perpetual happy camper.
