I want a simple answer. .is water rising or the land sinking? A survey either old school or gps will tell you... you give me that first answer and if the water is rising then we will talk why
Well surveyed tidal gauges have 100 year plus histories and provide reliable measures of the sea level history. Sea levels have risen at most five inches since the 1970's, not an insignificant amount, but far too little to have any of the dramatic effects being ascribed to them.
The water is rising just as it should, the Mississippi river dumps about 500 tons of sediment a year into the gulf. Now lets add in all the rivers, streams and beach erosion that takes place all over the world. If I don’t dredge out the ponds on the ranch about every 5 years they hold less and less water.
