A new law in North Carolina will ban the state from basing coastal policies on the latest scientific predictions of how much the sea level will rise, prompting environmentalists to accuse the state of disrespecting climate science.

we aren't speaking of rest of world we are talking about north carolina . there are parts of the world were high and low tide difference has been recorded at 3 meters or more but we are not talking about there we are talking about my local state government deciding to stop jumping on bandwagon till they get all the facts. they in recent years have been burned one time to many by scientific fear mongering . and we are not a bunch of backwoods hicks we have some of the most advanced research facilities in the world in our state so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Hahaha oh wow. Let me just echo this:
"If your science gives you a result you don't like, pass a law saying the result is illegal. Problem solved," Stephen Colbert joked.
This is so pathetic. There's no excuse for this. Their bad excuse is that "the state needed to put a moratorium on predictions of sea level rise until scientific techniques improve." So why don't we just keep destroying the Earth until our scientific techniques are perfect. Certainly sounds sane and rational to me!
