“Look! There on the back of the caboose. It’s good ol’ Mo Brooks!
Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) questioned Duffy on the factors that contribute to sea-level rise, pointing out that land subsidence plays a role, as well as human activity. Brooks then said that erosion plays a significant role in sea-level rise, which is not an idea embraced by mainstream climate researchers. He said the California coastline and the White Cliffs of Dover tumble into the sea every year, and that contributes to sea-level rise. He also said that silt washing into the ocean from the world’s major rivers, including the Mississippi, the Amazon and the Nile, is contributing to sea-level rise. “Every time you have that soil or rock or whatever it is that is deposited into the seas, that forces the sea levels to rise, because now you have less space in those oceans, because the bottom is moving up,” Brooks said.
Swear to God, we deserve to have the bees take over and right soon, too.”
I’m surprised he didn’t blame sea level rise and warming on all the fish, sharks, porpoises, whales and seals peeing in the oceans. It would make as much sense as the explanation he gave.
“If we all line up on the coast, count to 3, and jump in the ocean yelling “CANNONBALL” I think we could splash out enough water to counter sea-level rise*
Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks on possible causes of sea level rise:
“What about erosion?…Every time you have that soil or rock, whatever it is, that is deposited into the seas, that forces the sea levels to rise because now you’ve got less space in those oceans because the bottom is moving up.”
Anyone still question the need for more science education in our schools?
*Flashback to my childhood…Dad, almost daily: “Leave some damn water in the pool!”
