Guys in what way did I suggest global warming was a farce?

My issue with the article is the absurd suggestions that downtown was innudnated (literally the riverwalk flooded which it is designed to do) and that waves were flying into the third story of buildings. It's utter, hilarious, nonsense driven by coastal losers desperately trying to project their issues onto Chicago.

Chicago will face issues from global warming, we already have. But the lake isn't going to flood downtown. We will simply dump it out the river if it ever becomes a major issue. It might take more improvements, etc, but Chicago sits on a Continental divide. As much as we have issues with flash flooding, we also have a lot of places to send water to. If we merely left the locks open the lake would drop four to six feet. We could artificially keep the lake level low and are, in fact, heavily regulated into only allowing so much flow out the canal.
