Why don't they just ban global warming, period. That'd fix it.

Variable sea level rises would mostly mean the local land level is falling. Not that the sea is rising. Land levels are rising and falling all over the world. As a matter of fact, in the Houston area the land surface level has been falling for years due to pulling water from the local aquifers.

Dallas Burglars Fled Due To Harsh Language and Bullets, But Mostly Bullets Posted at 10:43 am on June 8, 2016 by Bob Owens A quartet of burglars made the mistake of targeting a business in North Dallas where the homeowner resided upstairs. The noises they made ransacking the business woke the owner, who went downstairs and opened fire on the criminals. A business owner interrupted a burglary in progress early Tuesday and shot one of the burglars, Dallas police say. About 4:30 a.m. Tuesday, four burglars pried open the doors of a business in the 10300 block of Plano Road, near LBJ Freeway in far northeast Dallas, police said. The owner of the business, who was upstairs, heard the break-in and went downstairs, where he saw the burglars taking cash, police said. He shot a handgun at them, and they ran to a nearby vehicle and drove off. About half an hour later, Jacolby Tremone McCoy was dropped off at Doctors Hospital at White Rock Lake with gunshot wounds, and hospital workers called police. Police said there was enough evidence to charge McCoy, 29, with the Plano Road burglary. That is, there’s enough evidence to charge McCoy if he survives. He’s presently in the hospital in critical condition. As the Dallas Morning News was able to quickly post a picture of McCoy that looks suspiciously like a mug shot, we’re fairly confident that this wasn’t McCoy’s first offense. There’s no doubt at all that this was a legal shooting in Texas, where shooting at someone over property is legal in many instances, but I wonder how a similar situation might work out in other states where laws much more tightly restrict the use of deadly force. This event took place in a building divided into a business and into a private residence, but they are all in the same structure. Does castle doctrine apply in the entire structure, or just the living quarters in most jurisdictions? I’m afraid that that the answer to that question is going to vary wildly based upon state and perhaps even local laws, but morally, as the structure was also the business owner’s home, it certainly seems as if castle doctrine should apply here. http://bearingarms.com/bob-o/2016/06/08/dallas-burglars-fled-due-harsh-language-bullets-mostly-bullets/

Last week an armed robber targeted a pharmacy in Pennsylvania. The pharmacy’s owner saw the robber approach via video camera and armed himself, and when the criminal didn’t listen to warning to leave and jumped the counter, the owner cut him down. Now the District Attorney says that the pharmacy owner won’t face charges, and actually made the world a better place by killing the bad guy. The pharmacy owner who shot and killed a robber on Friday morning in Levittown, Bucks County, will not face charges – and was even praised by the district attorney. During a news conference on Friday afternoon, Falls Township Police Lt. Henry Ward said Pennsbury Pharmacy owner Kenneth Lee “had no choice to do what he did. He was protecting himself and his business.” District Attorney David Heckler wholeheartedly agreed. “There is no thought that we would prosecute the shooter in this case. He was entirely justified in his conduct, and frankly should be commended,” Heckler said. “From what I can see, he performed a public service in taking out this fella,” Heckler continued. “The fella asked for what he got and he got it.” http://bearingarms.com/bob-o/2016/06/06/da-public-service-guy-got-shot/
