If we're lucky Rob the new water level will come to the edge of our property

Wait, can I joke about that?

My yard generates a lot of Silver Maple. Awesome outdoor fire wood, once thoroughly cured it burns hot, lots of color, pops and crackles a lot. My bro-in-law wanted some for his house, I told him not to but he insisted. Burnt his new carpet

Bob I'm high enough. I don't have to worry about flooding. Besides (everyone groans) we can't stop it anyway.

I hear ya, fellas. That cheesy natural gas fireplace hasn't been turned on in years, much less with anything flammable in it. My firewood is made of concrete. That doesn't stop a few knuckleheads around here from burning those parrafin and sawdust logs in theirs. Creosote lining your flue ain't got nuthin on a good coating of parafin...
Maybe I outta pipe down about climate change? After all, I'm only 66 ft. above sea level. I'll be selling my beachfront property soon enough to those refugees from Newport Beach. Sure gives a new twist to being underwater on your mortgage, eh?

In order to stop what some boffins say is coming, we need to lower our CO2 output appreciably and even that might not work. Failed Kyoto couldn't even slow just the increase in generation.

Don't move to lower ground me mateys

Heat island is a much bigger effect than CO2 IMO. Pilots can feel heat islands when they fly over, that's how hot they are.

Not every drugstore needs a black asphalt parking lot that's the size of a football field. Ridiculous.

Sustainable living/climate change/latest Chicken Little/bullshit.

The Earth will make the decision whenever it's had enough.

As has been pointed out it the Show Me State, in particular amongst those who live along the Missouri River, " The river owns the first deed."
