A new study on the slow and “irreversible” melting of glaciers in Antarctica warns that the effect will be a sea-level rise of up to four feet in the next 200 years. California Democrat Gov. Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown seized on the study to do a little global warming fearmongering. “If that happens, the Los Angeles airport’s going to be underwater,” Brown warned. “You’re going to have to move all that,” he add. “That’s billions, if not tens of billions. Luckily, we can take a few years. Maybe my next year’s budget will handle that.” Memo to Brown: LAX is more than 100 feet above sea level. We may not be world-class mathematicians, but that leaves LAX pretty secure.

Update: Realizing his mistake, Brown sent a spokesman out to say, “The governor misspoke about LAX.” Ya think?
