The water level in the Supreme Court's Basement

How does the water level in the Supreme Courts basement relate to a case they are currently hearing? The answer is carbon dioxide. Few people will argue that the weather keeps getting stranger and stranger. Few that is except perhaps oil company executives and power plant owners. Everyone else can see the trend. Storms are getting stronger, rain is getting heavier, and droughts are getting longer. This is as predicted by those pesky scientists who insist on the truth even after reading the official line from the Republican party.

Quite a few states enacted laws controlling carbon dioxide emissions in the face of the huge vacuum left by the Republicans in power. A case is now being heard by the Supreme Court as to whether states can legally do it. Mother Nature may have filed in favor of the states. There is a stalled front allowing large quantities of rain to be dumped on the Washington, D. C. area. In addition, a very slow moving low is crawling up the coast. Parts of Washington are under water now, and there is a pretty good chance that there will be more.

Is this the result of global warming? It's very hard to say. I heard a weathercaster describe this as a once in a century rainfall. Oddly enough, they seem to come once every four or five years now. Is the water in the Supreme Court's basement the result of global warming which is the result of increased levels of carbon dioxide? Maybe it's time to start listening to those pesky scientists.
