‘Culture will be eroded’: climate crisis threatens to flood Harriet Tubman park
On the flat, marshy stretches of Maryland’s eastern shore, not a huge amount has changed since Harriet Tubman escaped from slavery here 170 years ago. Rivers and streams lace a wedge of land dotted with wood-board churches and small towns. Crabs and oysters are plucked from the adjacent Chesapeake Bay.
The climate crisis is set, however, to completely transform low-lying Dorchester county, threatening to submerge some of the key heritage associated with Tubman, the celebrated abolitionist whose daring missions helped free scores of slaves from bondage in her homeland.
If planet-warming emissions aren’t radically scaled back then swaths of the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad national historical park, only established in 2013, will be inundated at high tide by 2050, according to projections by University of Maryland scientists. (snip)
“Dorchester county is a poster child as to what the rest of the world can expect with flooding,†said Peter Goodwin, president of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science.
The county doesn’t rise more than 1.5 metres (5ft) above sea level and is exposed on three sides to the bay, which can act as a funnel to push storms on to the land. The seas could swell by as much as 60cm by 2050, a situation compounded by the fact the land is sinking, a hangover caused by the retreat of ice sheets from the last ice age.
60 centimeters is 23.62 inches, so, let’s just say 24 inches, which is 2 feet. Sea rise through the 20th Century was just 7-8 inches, and has not accelerated. So, what kind of scaremongering is it to say that the seas will go up by 2 feet in the next 30 years? Of course, that’s why they say “could”, because it is scaremongering.
Let’s consider what Donna Laframboise is writing
The English-language edition, newly available as a Kindle e-book as well as a paperback, doesn’t beat around the bush. It’s titled The Green Reich: Global Warming to the Green Tyranny.
Godefridi says we have good reason to be alarmed. Not by climate change, but by the endless, hazardous-to-humans measures that activists propose in response.
While a lot of the focus is on destroying the economy, the Warmists really are totalitarians, Fascists, authoritarians, and scaremongering helps them put this in place.
