It’s all sand-Here today, gone tomorrow.
There are local sea level rises due to the shifting of ocean currents. If you look at a chart of the changes you can see that the rises are not at all even.
Go to any beach bar in Florida and you’ll likely see photos on the wall of the beach in front of the bar as it was in the ‘20’s, ‘30’s, ‘40’s or ‘50’s. It’s the same distance from the bar that it is now. If the seas were rising, it wouldn’t be just in North Carolina. It’s astonishing these warmers can face the public without shame and blushing.
Some of what they are counting as “rise” is simple erosion.
Sea levels supposedly rising are confounded by the fact that some coastlines are sinking, and by erosion of coastlines.
My understanding is that actual sea levels are rising very slowly, as they have for thousands of years.
When I was in school they said that much of the east coast sea floor was subsiding. Kinda like the Mississippi delta.
South east virginia is sinking... I would google that but aa&t data service is f-ed up in the DC area... No google no gmail, no texting
If if wasn’t for National Flood Insurance (you know, where the taxpayers pay to remodel someone else’s beach home every couple of years) there would be no houses on the Outer Banks.
Mirlo Beach is on one of the thinest parts of Hatteras Island. An inlet has been wanting to break through there for years. In fact, I think one did after a storm not so long ago and DOT filled it in. This has nothing to do with sea level rise. It has to do with changes to the beach up and down the coast. Nor’easters simply want to erode the beach and when that happens on barrier islands, sometimes it connects to the sound. If houses are in the way, too bad.
you’re not wrong sea levels are not rising hence global warming is a hoax
Now there’s more ice at South Pole than ever (So much for global warming thawing Antarctica!)
i’m sure the media would have blasted it all over if any beach house or hotel anywhere near the beach would be now under water right? so no sea level rise ever
Actually it is rising but only about 0.5mm per year on average.
They should Google “tide”..but don’t tell them it is happening a couple times a day...they’ll panic.
It’s called erosion.

I live near the ocean and have gone jogging along the same shoreline for 35 years now. There is no rise in ocean levels. If what they were saying was true, my running path would be underwater by now.
The real problem is people are so unaware of what is going on around them outside that they believe all of this nonsense.
Barrier islands along the East Coast have been in motion for eons. They go in, they go out, they go up, they go down. Development might slow down the movement, or it may speed it up, but those islands they just keep on moving.
B-B-But obama was supposed to FIX that, wasn’t he?
It's all sand. Hurricanes going up the coast will create massive storm surges, first pushing westward, then pulling eastward; and sometimes north or south parallel to the shore. Occasionally, Nor'easters blow in, and push everything into the inland swamps (well, not quite everything). Then four times a day, the tidal flow moves tons of sand between the ocean and the sounds. It never stops. And all the Global Warming and all the Global Cooling doesn't make a bit of difference.
This is the nature of a sandy coastline.
That entire barrier island has migrated east and west a few inches to a few feet to a few yards a year since people first started noticing such things. Two blocks or so inland from the current beach there are remains of a shipwreck that was well east of the surfline when it sank and broke up.
