        There is a connection between the unfolding events in the polar

        spurts as a consequence of events where ice masses surge into
        the oceans. A sea level rise will affect a number of megacities,
        low lying parts of Florida, and properties along the coast of
        Norway: Storm surges will cause larger inundation and more

          Day in Climate History  January 3, 2011 </a> -  from D.R.
        Tucker</b></font><br>
    <blockquote> <font size="-1">January 3, 2011: Steve Benen of the
        Washington Monthly notes that Republican presidential candidates
        who now try to deny the existence of human-caused climate change
        will have to figure out a way to rewrite history:</font><br>
      <blockquote><font size="-1">"Yes, in Republican circles in 2011,
          those who don't reject the scientific consensus on the climate
          crisis will be rejected out of hand. Those who've been even
          somewhat reasonable on the issue in recent years should expect
          to grovel shamelessly -- a trait that's always attractive in
          presidential candidates. ..<br>
          "The number of likely GOP candidates who've actually said out
          loud that the planet is warming and that human activity is
          responsible is, oddly enough, larger than the number of
          consistent climate deniers. Sarah Palin has said pollution
          contributes to global warming and 'we've got to do something
          about it.' Romney has said he believes the planet is warming
          and at least used to support cap-and-trade. Huckabee and
          Pawlenty have backed cap-and-trade -- which was, originally, a
          Republican idea, by the way -- in recent years. Even Newt
          Gingrich used to demand 'action to address climate change,'
          and participated briefly with Al Gore's Repower America
          campaign. ..<br>
          "This wasn't a problem up until very recently. John McCain's
          2008 presidential platform not only acknowledged climate
          change, it included a call for a cap-and-trade plan -- and he
          won the nomination fairly easily. As recently as 2006,
          rank-and-file Republican voters, by and large, believed what
          the mainstream believed when it came to climate science:
          global warming is real, it's a problem, and it requires
          attention...<br>
          "But that was before the GOP fell off the right-wing cliff.".<br>
