I was watching a show about Hurricane Sandy last night and caught a particularly ignorant line of reasoning that they were stating as fact.

They said that hurricane sandy was much worse due to the effects of climate change and that sea levels had risen a foot and a half OVER THE PAST 200 YEARS.

My first question was what started the sea levels to rise if it wasn’t global warming then? When did it stop being caused by something else and how did you decide it was the result of global warming. I also want to know why we never talk about the eastern seaboard subsidence and erosion I learned about in grade school? Have they magically stopped?

Reminds me of a news article a year or so ago when they announced that global warming had reduced the size of a glacier in Norway or someplace similar. Scientists found plant life that had frozen there about a thousand years ago and were excited. The mantra though was how destructive man-made global warming was in how the glacier was eroded. My thought was that the plant life existed in a warmer clime so where was the man-made global warming then? I don't remember vikings driving SUVs around. :)

I live on the central Gulf Coast.

I have been boating and fishing these waters all my life.

We have a thing called tide charts. People, way smarter than me, calculate the tides. They accurately predict the comings and goings of the tides YEARS in advance.

The water levels have not changed very much in the last several hundred years.

Do the water levels change over large amounts of time? Probably. Can mankind alter them? No!
