I've always been a fan of this movie but with the discovery about that opening title credits aerial view of Fort Lauderdale Beach, I am now an even bigger fan. Great theme song too!

Watch the old 70s film with Charleton Heston, “The Planet of the Apes” and look at the high water marks on the rocks surrounding Lake Powell. The enviros love to point these things out these days as bad news. Funny that they were there in the 70s.

On Sunday, November 26, 1961, I was walking down a street in Bern, Switzerland when I was amazed to notice that Where the Boys Are was being shown in a local movie theater.

I prefer to reference "Girl Happy." Because I was in "Girl Happy."

Connie Francis, who sang the theme song of
Where the Boys Are, later got political and recorded a campaign song for Richard Nixon in 1968.

Well, yeah. But only because global warming is making the seabed sink.

I know for a fact that Rockaway Beach is exactly where it was 60 years ago, but it wasn’t 55 years ago, after Hurricane Donna. I remember water under the boardwalk for months afterwards. They just pumped water from the ocean back onto the beach.
It is hard make any judgment one way or the other about sea level based on one locality. Land rises and subsumes. Louisiana is sinking, and it has nothing to do with rising oceans, it’s due to sinking land.
Modern satellite geodesy probably gives us our first really reliable measurements of sea level, and yes it is rising, but no more quickly than at the beginning of the 20th Century.

Of course the beach is the same size as it was. So’s my beach on long island. But they never ask me

Fort Lauderdale “Replenishes” its beaches every few years by pumping in sand from offshore.
Probably not the best example to use.

Its the perfect example. Nature is CONSTANTLY changing. (I’m guessing they do the same on the beaches in CA).

And the sand that was pumped in from offshore came from where? I suspect the exact same amount pumped in from offshore came from onshore previously.

My backyard ends where salt water begins... water’s been in the same place for 30 years - higher with hurricanes and high tides but other than that... just the same.

Pumping the sand back is due to erosion, NOT rising sea level. If it was due to rising sea level, the sand would be piled over A1A.
