I thought that was it too but I found out that it was the ground that was rising and falling.Yes, of course. The Earth is a living organism that breathes in and out.

Interesting. Just what term do they use to refer to this theory?

Global warming and a rise in sea levels could dramatically affect South Carolina's coast, according to scientists and environmental officials meeting at a conference in Charleston this week. I wish these officials would spend more time in Minnesota addressing our concerns for global warming.
Since global warming became a topic of concern and many have reaped riches and popularity because of it, our black bear no longer sh!t in the woods.

H. John Heinz III Center for ScienceYup. That right.
Mrs. Jon Carry is funding this study
Now we know why she named her foundation "the Tides Foundation". /grin

If you read this article, you will see the factual case that there may have been no statistically significant rise in the sea level since 1840. Now, the Carolinas may be sinking like Louisiana ...

That could be dangerous with scientists warning the ocean could extend 100 feet or more inland in the next century. Sheesh! What poppycock! Erosion alone could do better than that in the next century.

What's the problem?

That's a good question. It's hard to measure sea level. What do you compare it to in order to measure it?

There's some island in the Pacific that the global warming crowd used to point to as the first that would go under water. Year after year nothing happened to the island and about 10 years ago they dropped it -- it was a few inches above sea level, and it's still a few inches above sea level. I don't remember the name...
My home is on the edge of a mangrove - with a salt water stream at the end of my back yard - and as far as I can tell the stream height follows the same tidal patterns it always has -- it's only at a sustained higher level when a hurricane is within a hundred miles. My home is supposed to be 12 feet above sea level - but when I stand by the water and look at the house it seems more like 8 feet. If I see a change in water level, I'll let you know.

Different areas of land rise and fall at different rates as well. There can be no definitive measurement from 'one point' of dry land due to natural geologic processes. Not to mention natural erosion which is rather extreme along many parts of worldwide seashores.

Exactly.
However, Al Gore seems to have the definitive answer. Which is enough to convince me it's nonsense.

Great point. I wondered why these same elitist liberals happen to own beachfront property?

"grant fund raising" surely it can't be.

I live and work here in Beaufort county and spend a lot of time on the water. I have noticed dead trees along the New River and places where the marsh seems to be receding. However, I feel that land and water levels DO rise and fall, sometimes dramatically. The islands around here have been eroding for centuries. Just look at Hunting Island - I've seen inlets opened by "normal" storms and most of the old campground now lies offshore.
The sandbar in the foreground was dry land not long ago;
and the marshy spot halfway down the beach is now open to the sea again.

Al Gore thinks he's a scientist, fercryinoutloud!
