Tanya, I\u2019m so glad you called. It\u2019s great to have you. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thank you very much. Earlier when you were talking about Nancy Pelosi and she was talking about climate change. On yahoo.com today there was an article about South Florida, and down in Key West, some road that\u2019s three miles between two islands is gonna be underwater, and the county can\u2019t afford the millions of dollars to raise this road because of the rising seas. So my question is, Rush, are you afraid of the rising seas coming up and swallowing your home? I mean, isn\u2019t this climate change? I mean, what else would be causing all that to happen?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-330516\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-120519-Climate-Change-Hoax-Global-Warming.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-120519-Climate-Change-Hoax-Global-Warming.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-120519-Climate-Change-Hoax-Global-Warming-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So you are asking me why I am denying the existence of it?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah. I mean, if this county is refusing &#8212; this poor woman they interviewed on the Yahoo article was saying how this water from the ocean\u2019s coming up and she\u2019s not gonna be able to get to her house because the county won\u2019t raise this road two feet by the year 2026 or something &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, so it hasn\u2019t happened yet.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No, but it\u2019s gonna happen, Rush. They keep saying that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh. I misunderstood. I thought the woman couldn\u2019t get to her house yet, even now.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right. So that\u2019s my question &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let me tell you something, Tanya. It ain\u2019t gonna happen. If it does, it\u2019s not gonna be because of climate change. A tornado or hurricane might come along and rearrange things, but it ain\u2019t gonna be climate change. Let me tell you what. Very near where I live a liberal Democrat New York hedge funder just paid $111 million to buy a home that is 60 feet from the ocean, $111 million. It is a record sale price. Why would he do this if climate change is going to destroy his house and his investment in, what, four years or six? Tanya, are you there?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes, I\u2019m here.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. So did you hear that? Really, really rich hedge fund Democrat just spent $111 million to buy a 70,000-square-foot &#8212; talk about the carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, I mean, maybe he bought that that way when climate change does affect it, he has more insurance on it, and then he can make more money off it. I don\u2019t know. You know, it\u2019s like &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Are you kidding me? The guy spends $111 million dollars knowing climate change is gonna flood him out so that he can collect the insurance?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, maybe he\u2019s on a different island and the climate change isn\u2019t gonna come to the island where he is.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Key West is just an hour south of here, maybe hour and a half. No, no, no. If the sea levels are gonna rise up and destroy that poor woman\u2019s house and road down in Key West then we\u2019re not safe here and, by the way, neither will be the sea turtles.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-320266\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/APP-082319-Obama-Beach-House.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/APP-082319-Obama-Beach-House.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/APP-082319-Obama-Beach-House-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (laughing) I don\u2019t know. I mean, Yahoo wouldn\u2019t lie about it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: They\u2019re the media. They\u2019re the media, can go out and find some deranged woman that lives down there that believes the lies or they\u2019re making her up. They\u2019ve got some plant down there that could be pretending to live there. I\u2019m just saying this is possible in today\u2019s media climate.<\/p>\n<p>Can you name for me one source in a New York Times story this week? They\u2019re all anonymous. Ditto Washington Post. When it comes to Trump, when it comes to impeachment, when it comes to Russia meddling, every damn source is anonymous. At least Yahoo has found somebody down there in Key West.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, this climate change stuff, it\u2019s all gonna happen down the road. No pun intended. It\u2019s all going to happen in the future. I\u2019m just gonna tell you, I am not worried. I don\u2019t even think about it. Do you know why? Because every February or March a dredger shows up from New Orleans. The dredger dredges the inlet nearby where I live so that the ships in the port can get in there.<\/p>\n<p>Where do they put the sand? They put it on my beach. My beach regrows and expands to the biggest beach in the area every year. Can you believe it? Every year my house gets further away from the water line because they dredge the sand on it. That\u2019s why the turtles love my beach \u2019cause it\u2019s bigger than they ever can imagine when they get there. Climate change, my &#8212; never mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I&#039;m just gonna tell you, I am not worried. I don&#039;t even think about it.
