When it came to global warming/climate change, several of them continued to say the oceans are rising because the polar ice is melting. Using as an example the "waters rising in Miami"
Hogwash. They conveniently left out the scientific fact of King tides. It happens everywhere when the moon gets closer to the earth. Been happening for centuries. Poor road engineering and some pics are being used by the warmers to justify their position.

The highest high tides of the year, called king tides, caused minor flooding along coastal Florida over the first weekend of November. These tidal floods are often called sunny-day or blue-sky floods, as they occur on an otherwise beautiful, calm day.

How bad was the flooding?
Luckily, the flooding during November’s king tides were relatively minor across Florida. But still, residents could go outside over the first weekend of November and see sea water gurgling up through manhole covers and flooding streets in the lowest-lying neighborhoods in communities like Hollywood, Florida.

Flash back to October’s king tides, though, and the story was different. As noted in the Miami Herald, aiding the already large high tides were winds blowing onshore and rain. The combination led to widespread flooding around Miami as ocean water flooded onto streets, lawns and parking lots.

See how they skew the facts?
