NatGeo is full of bull carp!

Claim That Sea Level Is Rising Is a Total Fraud

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 less than the nearly 30 inches per century average over the last 18,000 years.

And then there is this...

CLIMATE CHANGE made sea levels FALL in 2010 and 2011( Australia got the Flood )

(spoiler: they blame the sea level drop on Glowbull Warming)

Uh huh, and beach front property prices are plummeting nationwide as Liberals flee to higher ground in fly-over country?

Didn't think so.

He points out that here that we’re finding evidence of civilization where the glaciers that are melting are melting, where they once stood. In Switzerland, for example, they’re finding silver mines under the glaciers. As the glacier retreats there, they’re finding the mine shafts and the mining tools stacked up and waiting, waiting for the mine workers to return as the winter snows melted but it seems that one year, those winter snows didn’t actually melt. Then year upon year passed and the snows grew deeper and finally they had a glacier there. It was the little ice age, they came to learn. Now the little ice age is ending,

Right on. After the 1938 hurricane, my grandfather walked with me down the streets from Tower Hill in Lawrence, MA. A block from the “main street” he put me into a rowboat, and then rowed two blocks to his flooded out Furniture store.
At the store he tied the boat to a flagpole and we entered the store through the SECOND floor front window.
I may have the street name wrong, but BROADWAY was flooded end to end down to the Merrimac River.
The difference, then and now, is that then, bad storms were not politicized.

And it's about bloody time to. I'm tired of being cold.

I'll admit I only read about a third of the article before my stomache got too queasy to go on. But I did get to the good news. If things keep going we may get back to the point where the northern hemisphere is ICE FREE all year long!!

WOO HOO I'm going out to drive the SUV!!!

Another thought just struck me. Aren't both east and west coast, as well as a bunch of the gulf, liberal areas? What do we really lose (if anything) if they flood out? I can't come up with anything.

“I was taking my morning stroll along Anna Maria Island beach this morning”

I’m very jealous. My family has a condo on the beach there. But I;m tied to my job. On call, every second of every day. Haven’t been down there in 11 years! My ashes will end up there, somewhere off Beam Point I suspect.

Finland is growing by over a square mile per year because of RECEDING seas (actually, the land is rising from “ice age rebound). This is occurring around the rim of the arctic, and simple physics tells you that SOMEWHERE the waters will have to rise.

Oh NO! We’ve already had too many people fleeing from coastal areas and flooding into Colorado....Help, we’re drowning in Democrats!

Is there any data that factors in the natural erosion of beach because of wave action??

Back in the early 1960s, I read a si-fi novel about a man who was planning to blow up underwater cliffs and allow the jet stream to go north and melt the ice caps.

I wish I could remember the name of the novel, but it slips my mind.

I do remember the hero was captured and led through a series of rooms in which everything was green colored.

Sea level is not measured by beach erosion. There is some great information in that article about how it is measured and the great lengths that are gone to to account for the rise or fall of the land mass at any given spot where measurements are taken.

I realize that sea level is not measured by erosion. However, much of the evidence presented is in the form of photos showing shrinking shore lines. Some of the shrinkage is from erosion and not just the rising sea, I would think.

You've lost me there. Who/where is that evidence being presented?
