Sheesh! Must every news story include a leftwing agenda?
Yahoo! News published an article by Diego Urrdaneta of AFP about the 100th anniversary of Miami Beach. However, Urrdaneta could not restrain himself from merely including facts about the anniversary of Miami Beach. He had to leave us with the swan song about how global warming (or "climate change" as they now call it when the warming didn't happen) is causing the sea level to rise. Here is the first part of the story before it descends into global warming demagoguery:

Sea level’s up.
Sea level’s down.
Sea level’s up.
Sea level’s down.
Go figure - it happens every day.
Sheesh! Must every news story include a leftwing agenda?
Yes. It’s required nowadays. They have to push global warming, homosexuality, or other liberal causes in every news story.
Liberals control the media. They control how stories are reported, so yes, every story will have a liberal spin.
They control because the voice of conservatism has been too etiolated, and that is because it has hidden from the sun of the soul namely the good Lord.
Haunts of jackals and vultures don’t just come about on their own.
Getting a guy like Cruz on the scene is going to be very illuminating.
I guess you aren’t a “ Warmist”....
Sea levels began to rise 18k years ago at the end of the last glacial period. They have risen about 135 meters since then which is an average of 7.5 millimeters per year. That is an average of 750 mm per century (29.5 inches) which is far more than the average over the last century.
From 1880 to 2000 sea level rose about 20 cm or just under 8 inches. Far far less than the nearly 30 inches per century average over the last 18,000 years.
Ft. Lauderdale beach in 2014:
As to the plot of historic sea levels extending back thorough tens of thousands of years of prior climates - in my climatology studies as an undergrad I was impressed to learn that at the peak of the Wisconsin Era, roughly 18,000 years ago, the shoreline of present day New Jersey was several hundred mites east of where it its today, and Florida was connected by dry land to the Bahamas. I'm not sure anyone as there to appreciate this at the time, but the idea of global water being drawn down in terms of ocean level and concentrated in the enormous sheets of glacial ice extending down across all of Canada and covering much of the northern tier of what is the continental United States today, is a pretty profound one. But the folks who want politicize science today, and cram AGW down our throats, are just not capable of grasping that.
My teenagers are in a science competition, and one of their Current Environmental Issues was glacial melting that would submerge Miami. It was a good opportunity to demonstrate pseudo-science to them ... as well as saying, “If you get a question on this, answer with what the article says!”
Maybe if they put the manatees on a diet? It might help.
Ya never know.
