The so-called "progressives" like to rail about the coming collapse of all things due to "climate change."
You know, rising water on coastal properties, scorched earth...and so on.
However, given the opportunity to move to the beach that is about to disappear, the "progressive" changes her beliefs. Apparently.
Former vice president Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff purchased an $8 million mansion in an exclusive oceanside Malibu neighborhood last month. The move came after Harris spent years warning that such communities could be threatened by the "climate crisis."
Has she changed her mind about "climate crises," Or did she never believe it in the first place?
Be informed, not misled.
A real estate listing for the mansion, reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, says the luxury pad is "perched in a prime coastal location" with "breathtaking ocean views." The property sits right near a coastline that, according to climate scenarios endorsed by Harris, is at risk of extreme flooding. A climate model issued by the Biden-Harris administration determined that Point Dume State Beach, the beach a short walk from Harris's new property, would be severely damaged by sea level rise even under the model's most modest projections.
The Trump administration discontinued that model in June 2025.
Does Kamala feel that Trump has caused the danger to be mitigated, so she can now safely move to the beach?
So-called Progressive beliefs are built on sand.
The purchase, which was first reported by the New York Post, calls into question Harris's earnestness when discussing the threats posed by what she calls the "climate crisis."
"Our oceans are warming. Sea levels are rising," Harris wrote during her short-lived presidential campaign in 2019. "Extreme weather is destroying our communities. We are poisoning the planet."
As a senator, Harris cosponsored the Living Shorelines Act, which called for earmarking $50 million in federal funding a year for combating sea level rise, which threatens "thousands of coastal communities and economies."
"Our country is facing a climate crisis," Harris remarked at the time. "We must also take steps to mitigate against sea level rise and prepare for the extreme weather that has become increasingly common."
Weeks after introducing that bill, Harris shared a Washington Post article on social media, noting that the story and its accompanying analysis show the nation is facing rising sea levels, extreme weather, and higher temperatures. The article stated that Ventura County, Calif.—home to Harris's recently acquired mansion—has warmed 2.6 degrees Celsius since 1895, more than any other county evaluated using federal data.
Former President Joe Biden made Harris the chief spokeswoman for his billion-dollar Climate-Ready Coasts initiative under which the administration distributed large grants for projects nationwide in support of coastal communities responding to climate change. Harris announced the first tranche of grants under the initiative in April 2023, doling out $562 million for 149 projects in 30 coastal states and territories.
"To live in a coastal community is to live on the front lines of the climate crisis," she said during an event at the University of Miami, which she later lauded for "working to tackle one of our most pressing challenges of protecting our coastal communities from extreme weather."
That same year, the Biden-Harris administration's Interior Department published a study that concluded that up to 75 percent of California's beaches may be completely eroded by the year 2100.
Harris's new home boasts many of the same luxuries that the Biden-Harris administration targeted with burdensome regulations.
Listing photos show the mansion features a gas-powered stove and fireplace. The Biden-Harris administration introduced regulations that would have banned half of the gas stove models on the market.
The home also has a tankless water heater. The Biden-Harris administration finalized regulations in its final weeks that would have banned roughly 40 percent of the tankless water heaters on the market.
Hypocrisy.
Sand vs the Rock.
Jesus was not thinking about "climate crises" when he said in Matthew 7:24-27:
"Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it."
Jesus was talking about what we believe. And what that belief is based upon.
"Climate crises" has become one of the synoptic gospels of the Leftists' ideology, which is rooted in relativism.
Relativism leads to brutal totalitarianism.
The formula is simple: when relativism holds sway long enough, everyone begins to do what is right in his own eyes, without regard for submission to truth. In this atmosphere, a society begins to break down. Virtually every structure in a free society depends on a measure of integrity—that is, submission to the truth. When the chaos of relativism reaches a certain point, the people will welcome any ruler who can bring some semblance of order and security. So a dictator steps forward and crushes the chaos with absolute control. Ironically, relativism—the great lover of unfettered freedom—destroys freedom in the end.
G. K. Chesterton said more than a hundred years ago:
“What we suffer from today is humility in the wrong place. Modesty has moved from the organ of ambition. Modesty has settled upon the organ of conviction; where it was never meant to be. A man was meant to be doubtful about himself, but undoubting about the truth; this has been exactly reversed. Nowadays, the part of a man that a man does assert is exactly the part he ought not to assert—himself. The part he doubts is exactly the part he ought not to doubt—the Divine Reason. . . . We are on the road to producing a race of men too mentally modest to believe in the multiplication table.”
Takeaway
People are drowning in a sea of moral relativism. Relativism destroys the conscience. It produces people without scruples, because it provides no moral impulse to improve. This is why we don’t teach relativism to our children – in fact, we labour to teach them just the opposite. Ultimately, relativism is self-centred, egoistic, and hypocritical. “Doing our own thing” is fine for us, but we don’t want others to be relativists. We expect them to treat us according to an accepted moral standard.
“I have freed Germany from the stupid and degrading fallacies of conscience and morality… We will train young people before whom the world will tremble.” Adolf Hitler
Moral relativism, in a practical sense, is completely unlivable. What kind of world would it be if relativism were true? It would be a world in which nothing was wrong – nothing is considered evil or good, nothing worthy of praise or blame. It would be a world in which justice and fairness are meaningless concepts, in which there would be no accountability, no possibility of moral improvement, no moral discourse. And it would be a world in which there is no tolerance. Moral relativism produces this kind of world.
The late Dr Francis Schaeffer said of moral relativists, "They have both feet firmly planted in mid-air.”
Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
Jesus is the Truth.
