Knowledgeable freepers please respond.
I live on Long Island. The high tide line isn’t any higher than 53 years ago when I moved here. Going fishing on my boat tomorrow. Will fill you in if that changed any.
Where’s the problem?
Sea level rise raises all boats. Just move the navy “inland” to the new coastline, problem solved!
Erosion or subsidence versus water level rise. Semantics?
I’ll worry when Al Gore sells his beachfront property at a loss.
“The high tide line isn’t any higher than 53 years ago when I moved here. “
I’m in Florida. Practically every seaside restaurant has photos of the beach from the teens to the twenties and through the sixties on the wall. The range of the tide lines never varies much. If a whole row of buildings from the forties were sticking out of the water, I’d be concerned. Instead, the only things that have risen there are the prices.
I remember many years ago a story about how the population center around Miami had extracted so much from the water table that salt water was filling into the Everglades.
That’s not Glo-BULL Warming making the seas rise... it’s Liberal Tears.
Possibly. The New York area, and just a few spots on the east coast are the only coast lines being effected. Cities built along the Mediterranean Sea over 4 centuries ago are still not experiencing any measurable sea level changes.
Areas within the United States that have a greater than average percentage of liberals are at the greatest risk!
If you take the boats from Norfolk and deploy them, the sea level will drop. They should just tell the libs it is the “ice cube” effect. Boats displace water so it is only the perception that the water level has risen.
In the 1920’s my grandfather travelled by skiff to Smith Island to rescue his parents’ caskets being washed away by steady erosion.
Why aren’t we seeing news stories about how prime beachfront Florida real estate has returned to it’s previous state of under the waves? Should be mass evacuations due to the rising sea level panic they’re trying to spread but we see nothing about it.
But, but, Obama fixed that with his mere presence.
...or when Bangladesh goes under.
Maybe are ships are not designed to handle rising tides???? We will need a whole new navy with high tide designs!

Compared to the trillions that the left demands be extracted and redistributed to some nebulous world authority in order to purportedly “stop” climate change, moving that naval base to higher ground is chump change. That’s assuming that there actually ever will be any ongoing rise in sea levels, an assumption that is thus far highly questionable.
You better be very careful.
Haven’t you watched SHARKNADO?
They’re ships.
They float.
Everything will be fine...
Don’t worry, the ships will float on top of the sea
