Yes you are correct, I was going to mention the Gulf Coast and Baytown specifically. I haven’t been to Baytown in a number of years but last time I was there you could still see the roofs of some of the houses. I wonder how they think the water level on New Jersey coast is rising and it is not rising every where? If I over fill my bathtub it is going to fill to the same level all over the tub.
Geology. And ocean currents. Global jet streams. Sun spot activity. Astrophysics.
And then there’s the Prius which will save mankind.
Tilting actually. As the Canadian shield rises, the lands to the south drop to equalize.
Its like when you sit on a couch next to a fat chick. She causes a depression in the surface with your body forced to lean down toward it but when she gets up you equalize. Fat Chick Physics.
Not to mention - building on barrier islands.
It’s an excellent investment really. We stayed in an oceanfront house on Hatteras Island that was originally three streets back. Property values soar!
Just sell before the big one. Your particular big one.
I love the way the author just drops the anecdotal turn in, with full of hopes and delusions that it'll float.
Sea levels are rising, and further, "skeptics" acknowledge it. It's true, it must be... the author says it right there in the article.
“Much of the eastern seaboard is sinking due to tectonic forces that have nothing to do with weather.”
Yep. And the process of migrating barrier islands seems to have been conveniently forgotten.
Someone is always left holding the bag....
A lot of elementary school science has been sacrificed to the god of global warming and its a dangerous thing.
Imagine if someone declared that disease was caused by evil spirits and Jonas Salk was accused of angering those spirits with his vaccination experiments.
I’m sure it was caused by my van, anyway, somehow.
“And then there’s the Prius which will save mankind.”
Reminded me of a off topic joke I heard Leno do the other night.
“You know how slow the obamacare website is?”
HOW SLOW?
“Slower then Chris Christie driving uphill in a Prius”
Ancient Cyprus grove found in ~60 feet of water.

Point out the above story to your “progressive” friends, then ask: “at what level are the oceans SUPPOSED to be?”
(I actually had one reply: “where they are NOW!”)
That’s awesome. Can you imagine the little electric motor winding away...vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv!
These same progressives believe in Gaia where the Earth is a living thing. As a living thing it is constantly moving and changing yet they say that we cause that movement and change and want us to stop it. Isn’t there a word for thought processes that counter each other?
Underwater towns would be tourist destinations, cities in a bubble.
Fat Chick Physics: sweet potato pie with marshmallows, breaded fried pork fat, and “sum ‘nana puddin’.”
Wasn’t this supposed to happen 5 years ago?
Think we could put Washington in a bubble?
Washington DC is in a bubble already but instead of keeping out the sea (or swamp in its location) it keeps out reality and common sense.
