I had followed them as a land surveyor for decades, and assure you that the sea is receeding rapidly.
I trust you far more than the leftist activists who have managed to infiltrate the agencies that make the determinations and are suppose to maintain the records.
During the 1970s I had a geology teacher who surveyed and photographed the Carbon Glacier on nearby Mt. Rainier every summer with groups of students. Of course at that time the concern was global cooling and that our entire area would eventually be completely covered with ice 1\2 mile thick as it had been just 12,000 years previously.
The glacier had been advancing since the 1940s and we calculated how long it would take at the current rate for it to take out the bridge we drove across to get there which was miles downstream. Of course since that time there was cyclic warming and instead of continuing to advance as was predicted, the glacier receded. So in a newspaper article from a few years ago they were predicting how long it would take for the glaciers to disappear and saying the mountain felt like it was “collapsing” on itself because of global warming and that our area was warming 6 times faster than the rest of the world .
I tried to find public records at the time that would show that the glaciers had been advancing long after the industrial age had begun, but had only very limited success. It seemed that the records were not being made available to the public by the agencies maintaining them. Of course these days even though from aerial photographs the Carbon glacier appears to have started advancing again... the park service has not fixed the road that went to the trailhead near the glacier and it is an 18 mile round trip by foot to get to the glacier. I believe that Mt. bikes are prohibited in that area of the park and I am not sure that overnight camping is allowed near the glacier either, so what my science teacher did with us is probably not currently possible.I
We are mostly forced to accept whatever the activists currently running and “studying” the park tell us. These are people who have demonstrated clearly in the past that they have a bias and have no qualms about falsifying data if it supports their position.
