Actually, it isn’t rising tides. It is lowering landmass.
California is slipping off the plate at the fault and you all had better grow gills or get the hell away from there.
Menlo park, where the rep is from, is 72 feet above sea level. Is he expecting a 72 foot rise?
Hundreds of neighborhoods and dozens of Silicon Valley companies such as Google, Yahoo, Intel, Cisco and Oracle face serious threats because their buil
Geniuses that thet are...they didnt see this coming????
given that land masses are the PRIME MOVER..i.e. REAL CAUSE...in this “equation” one wouldhave thought....that “Google, Yahoo, Intel, Cisco and Oracle” would have given that some CONSIDERATION before building next to the beaches!!!
For those who don’t know, NASA Ames Research Center is about 5ft above sea level.
Its also known as a place where Phd’s go to play and not produce anything.
I knew someone who went to work for them for a brief period of time.
Since she didn’t have a Phd, she was treated lower than dirt.
She left after 6 months.
“Measurements at the Golden Gate show that San Francisco Bay rose 8 inches over the past century — and could rise another 16 to 55 inches by 2100.”
I wonder what the source of this bit of science is? Apparently its not worth mentioning.
I thought the tides were going to recede and the oceans were going to calm if we elected Obama...
I thought the laws of physics do not apply to leftist?
the sky is falling! the sky is falling!!
wait...
what?...
oh...
the sea is rising! the sea is rising!!
“The impacts of melting ice and global warming will hit California harder than most of the world because most of the state’s coastline is already slowly sinking because of geological forces, a 2012 National Academy of Sciences report warned. “
These people should have their degrees pulled and put to work digging ditches for the rest of their lives.
Well if it’s high tide in SF then it’s low tide somewhere else.
This is series! If that liberal cesspool goes under water then they’ll migrate east into civilized states. We don’t want them. What’s the name of that guy in mythology where everything he touches turns into donkey dung? He was from kalifornia.
Let them dangle...
There has been much land area filled in around the Bay in the past. Swampy areas that edged out into the Bay such as around the Marina District in San Francisco.
Same amount of ocean water comes in through the Golden Gate with less area to spread out.
Guessing they don’t factor that in.
‘Crock-o’ the morning to you.’
The first thing they should do is update the FEMA maps and require all the folks living in San Francisco to purchase flood insurance.
Make them pay for their stupidity...
The oceans are rising at a rate of about a cm per century but California is sinking at a much faster rate.
Will they sell me the soon to be flooded bay front property for a huge bargain? Yea, I didn’t think so.
Wait a minute, if SF bay is hit with an increase of 8 inches of water level AND that was caused by global warming, how come no one else is reporting that same 8 inch increase in sea level? I live on Mission Bay in San Diego affected by the same tidal pattern and I don’t see any increase in water level and I have shore fished for the last 15 years.
California is both flooding and in a drought.
