Nature has been doing a lot of renovation all along the Gulf coast and the Atlantic for a long time. Those great sandy beaches just won't stay put. It's never ending even if sea level on average never changes. It's hard to judge sea level even with surveying gear because the surface won't stay put on a daily basis. An inch a decade would be hard to measure.

OTOH, if the Ice Age gets cranking and sea level does drop, eventually tides and storms won't reach the present beach. How would that affect State or public ownership? Of course access to the Bay won't be so convenient, either. The Art Bell guest said that when the climate tips into Ice Age mode, the transition will be quick, 3-10 years. Sea level change would then be rapid and we would notice--no question, no doubt.

Art Bell said we are going to have an ice age? You put a lot of stock in his opinion, do ya?

Nature is so insolent in her lack of respect for private property and rules of market. Free traders should whip and brand with hot irons the waters of the ocean.
