Here we have it again, another bunch of people who think that science is both just an opinion and can be legislated out of existence. One wonders whether the same would hold true for what other kind of science here. I don't disagree that this may well make sense in some cases. But if it's going to be applied here, why not apply it elsewhere? Why build a new airport when all of any usage thereof is only based on projections? North Carolina should only build any new airport when the old airports have already proven that they are completely overwhelmed. Why build a highway, when any traffic that would be on it is merely a projection, based on traffic simulations and models? It's much better to just add a lane when any simpleton can add that the road is full - after all - adding another lane always works. > [...] inserting the “need for additional studies” that will take three to four years to complete.. [...] Nevertheless, a moratorium is to be slapped on the 39-inch figure. So, I take it that North Carolina state legislature has the ability to legislate a sea level rise? If that's the case, I'm glad we've finally solved this whole climate change thing.
