SJ 76 Sea-level; Institute of Marine Science to study strategies to relative rise in Tidewater localities.
AGENDA 21 ALERT
On the docket for Tuesday, Feb. 21 – Please contact Senators now. There is a similar bill, HJ 50. Neither has met any resistance so they will pass this without blinking if we don’t yell loudly. Thank You!
What scientists are predicting this? Where is the data??!!
“WHEREAS, scientists predict an additional 2.3 to 5.2 feet of relative sea-level rise in the Chesapeake Bay region by 2100; “
I can tell you what the strategies will be. Redistribute our wealth to other countries to combat non-existent anthropogenic global warming to combat sea level rises unrelated human activities!!
In conducting its study, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science shall (i) review and develop a comprehensive list of ideas and examples of strategies used in similar settings around the United States and the world; (ii) convene a stakeholder advisory panel for the purpose of discussing and assessing the feasibility of employing these strategies in Tidewater Virginia; and (iii) offer specific recommendations for the detailed investigation of preferred options for adapting to relative sea-level rise.
More wasted tax dollars for more ridiculous studies designed to separate us from our money and control all land and water use.

Dear Patron Northam, Chairman Howell and Committee Members:
As a member of the VA Tea Party Federation Bill Reader Team, we are requesting your input on the studies used in making the following determination:
“WHEREAS, scientists predict an additional 2.3 to 5.2 feet of relative sea-level rise in the Chesapeake Bay region by 2100; “
Could you also please advise us on who will compose the "stakeholder advisory panel"?
In conducting its study, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science shall (i) review and develop a comprehensive list of ideas and examples of strategies used in similar settings around the United States and the world; (ii) convene a stakeholder advisory panel for the purpose of discussing and assessing the feasibility of employing these strategies in Tidewater Virginia; and (iii) offer specific recommendations for the detailed investigation of preferred options for adapting to relative sea-level rise.
Until these queries are satisfied, we sincerely hope that yet another United Nations Agenda 21 bill is not summarily passed by the Committee with more tax-payer dollars squandered.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Catherine Turner
