Flygurl 0 #1 March 21, 2006 Friday, March 17, 2006 1:14 p.m. EST Sen. John Kerry: N.Y.C., Boston Gone by 2036 Failed presidential candidate John Kerry offered a startling prediction Friday morning: If the U.S. doesn't change its global warming ways, New York City and Boston will be destroyed due to flooding by 2036. "I can say to an absolute certainty," Kerry told radio host Don Imus, "that if things stay exactly as they are today absent some unpredictable change in what's going on, within the next 30 years the Arctic ice sheet is gone. "Not maybe, not if - the Arctic ice sheet is gone," the Massachusetts Democrat insisted, before offering his hair-raising prediction. "Already you have the Greenland ice sheet beginning to melt ... If that melts, you have a level of sea level increase that wipes out Boston Harbor, New York Harbor - I mean, it's just stunning what we're looking at." Kerry blamed the Bush administration's environmental policies for the coming destruction of New York and Boston. "Europe and the other countries are responding," he told Imus. "The United States remains oblivious - at least the administration remains oblivious." Despite the dire warning, Kerry hasn't done much to change his own global warming ways. At last report, he and his wife still owned several SUVs, a gas guzzling yacht, five BTU gobbling homes and a private jet. Like fellow environmentalist RFK, Jr., Kerry continues to withold his support for the proposed construction of a wind farm in the waters off Nantucket, where he and his wife own a mansion. Quote I never knew the full extent of John Kerry's brilliance until now.

KERRY: “ What I'm saying is that in a lot of choices you have to make in public life, you make them on a basis on a sort of cautionary principal. I mean, that's true, for instance, of global warming. I can't say to a certainty exactly what's going to happen, and the models differ about what's going to happen. But I can say to an absolute certainly, and I just got a NASA briefing on this the other day, that if things stay exactly as they are today, absent some unpredictable change in what's going on, within the next 30 years, the Arctic ice sheet is gone, not maybe, not if, the Arctic ice sheet is gone. And already you have the Greenland ice sheet beginning to melt. The Greenland ice sheet, unlike the Arctic ice sheet, is on rock. It's out of the water.

No. THat was Reagan's fault. Had Clinton not done so much in those 8 years to reverse it, Boston would have been undewater already. Although, I always thought that there was nothing wrong with Boston that a temporary rise in water level wouldn't cure. Also, it seems a supply of new water might clean Boston harbor out a bit. Which is a good thing. On a serious note, I'll make a bet with Kerry right now that Boston or New York will be under water from a hurricane before they are underwater from melting ice sheets.
