Well, let it never be said that the NC legislature cannot be bought or can ever be accused of making intelligent decisions. From the folks who brought you massive pollution from pig farmers run wild we now have a law, no, really, a law that says that sea levels are not rising; or at least not in North Carolina. Although rising sea levels are a well document fact from locations around the world from real scientists from many different countries making real scientific measurements using the scientific method, a developer in NC, who apparently employs the NC legislature as well as the governor, declared that sea levels are NOT rising in NC and that thousand upon thousands of scientists from around the world are using bogus information and flawed methods in making such statements.
Apparently, this developer owns lots of coastal land in NC and wants to start building like crazy. Well, this would mean that, if the state legislature were actually bright enough and honest enough to accept accepted scientific proof of rising sea levels, it would cost the state lots of money to upgrade sewage systems, roads and other insignificant items so that the state could be environmentally conscious and actually use accepted scientific measurements for these things.
So what we have is an entire state government passing a law for the benefit of a single developer. Never mind that when roads start washing out and houses and businesses get washed away the people of NC and the US will be on the hook for repairing all the damages that were entirely preventable. Republican political corruption at its best!
