If everyone got together and sent al gore $87 Billion for carbon credits, he’d stop all this...it’s climate change don’tcha know..

[ataDude]

Bush did it.

Sorry... couldn’t resist.

This is actually caused by earth frustration (scientific name: Crustration). The earth wants to be hotter due to global warming and be in dutiful obeyance of global warmists, but frustrated by the cooler weather since the early 2000’s, has to find some outlet for this frustration, and indeed it has... if it can’t just raise temperatures, it can still raise it self in a way by thrusting earth upwards.

I thought that stuff took millions of years. You mean it actually happened in one day? Wow!

[parsifal]

Oh, this is easy. All this stuff was frozen in place and because of global warming, the ice melted and released its grip. I hope no polar bears or baby seals were harmed.

parsy, who figured this out on his own

'Uplift' baffles scientists, transforms area beach

[dangus]

Ya gotta love that the researcher’s name is Berg.

[PA Engineer]

Wow.



In a six month followup study geologists and economists report that it is not the most opportune time to buy beach front property in Homer.

Scientists don't know exactly what caused the uplift. It would take an earthquake over magnitude 7 to cause an uplift that high, said Peter Haeussler, a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Anchorage.

Well, I guess golly gee willikers, it wasn't a 7 magnitude earthquake after all since it wasn't recorded.

The older I get, the more I understand we know jack little about a lot of things. Half the stuff science says is the "truth" is simply their best WAG

[FrogMom]

Uplift ping!

[visualops]

They only have one dinky picture.

[landerwy]

I know. It was Sarah palin’s anouncement that did it.

[count-your-change]

It must be an illusion since changes like that takes millions of years to occur, shifting plate tectonics and such. Must be the ginandtonics causing it.

Here's a Google Maps link with the site at center, AFAICT. Bluff Road, mentioned as being "above the new uplift" is at the upper right. Other details also check out. ( Notice the hang glider at the mouth of Diamond Creek. )

Even if the exact cause and timing of the uplift presents a puzzle, I don't think you can really say it's a huge surprise, geologically speaking, that some kind of shift would occur at the base of these cliffs, which show obvious signs of slumping in the geologically recent past.

Looks like a good time to head to Homer and pick up a truck load of beach coal.
