When US Secretary of State John Kerry wanted to push his country to take the lead on climate change, it was no accident that he chose to give a speech in Norfolk, Virginia.
Norfolk Naval Station is the biggest naval installation in the world. But, Kerry said last November, “the land it is built on is literally sinking.”

Climate change as a National Security issue is something only the loony left could conceive. It's no wonder John Kerry touts it.

One of the funniest Kerry stories ever on FR was the article about effete Kerry’s manservant. I wish I could find it..

Well, climate change is what causes muslim terrorism, so it’s plausible that its causing the land to sink..

The land is sinking? I thought the seas were rising. It’s all so confusing...

HEADLINE - “What it might take to protect the world’s biggest naval base from rising seas”
ARTICLE - “But, Kerry said last November, “the land it is built on is literally sinking.””
So which is it? Sinking land or rising seas?

From NOAA’s actual data...
Portsmouth, VA
8638660
The mean sea level trend is 3.76 mm/year with a 95% confidence interval of +/- 0.45 mm/year based on monthly mean sea level data from 1935 to 1987 which is equivalent to a change of 1.23 feet in 100 years.
15 inches in a century is going to ruin the Naval Base?

Well, pal...you finally figured out that the problem is not rising seas, but subsidence. We were concerned about that due to your complete confusion between the two for so long. To be fair, to the terminally stupid such as yourself, subsidence might look a lot like rising sea levels. But one actually exists, and the other does not.

It is wise to untie the ships when the water rises.

Notice they excluded years 1988-2015.
I bet they do not fit their agenda.

Damned idiot. Builds on a swamp tidal land. Massively pumps water from underneath it. When land sinks, concludes ocean is rising.
Anyone ever ask these east coast idiots who think the ocean is rising how ocean doesn’t rise at the same rate everywhere?
Idiots, we are run by idiots.
