Just watched part of a pbs program titled 'Local, USA', episode titled 'Inundation District' about some incredibly expensive and foolish real estate development in the city of Boston on tidal bay land that was filled in over a century ago with garbage and earth taken from nearby hills, to just above high tide level. For a reason that went unstated, this manmade land was not developed until recent decades, when many skyscrapers have been built upon it. The speakers in this doc. never say this aloud, but it's made very clear that this enormous investment in buildings on land soon to be flooded regularly due to rising seas due to climate change (which my barbaric idiot president Donald Dunce calls a hoax) is one hell of a boondoggle, a case of more dumbfounding stupidity. One must ask again; what the flock's wrong with America? Is everyone in power incredibly stupid, crazy, or what?
This program went on to make the very valauble points that climate change is here and only going to get worse for a long time to come, and our failure as a society to honestly acknowledge and deal with it is a humongous calamity which future generations will have to pay dearly for. But remember this documentary is on PBS World, a tv channel very few Americans watch. Thus the clueless masses' ignorance goes on, as will 'business as usual' in the clueless USA, until mother nature says enough!, and puts a stop to it.
