The California coast grew and prospered during a remarkable moment in history when the sea was at its tamest.
But the mighty Pacific, unbeknownst to all, was nearing its final years of a calm but unusual cycle that had lulled dreaming settlers into a false sense of endless summer.
Elsewhere, Miami has been drowning, Louisiana shrinking, North Carolina’s beaches disappearing like a time lapse with no ending. While other regions grappled with destructive waves and rising seas, the West Coast for decades was spared by a rare confluence of favorable winds and cooler water. This “sea level rise suppression,” as scientists call it, went largely undetected. Blinded from the consequences of a warming planet, Californians kept building right to the water’s edge.
But lines in the sand are meant to shift. In the last 100 years, the sea rose less than 9 inches in California. By the end of this century, the surge could be greater than 9 feet.

“Otisburg?!”
Ned Beatty was so great in that movie.
It’s settling because of the added weight of all the illegals. Think of Guam.
By the end of this century, potatoes could weigh more than 9 tons each.
The seas haven’t changed a bit wealthy people just started building expensive, insured homes there.
In the last 100 years, the sea rose less than 9 inches in California. By the end of this century, the surge could be greater than 9 feet.
what? 9 inches in 100 years = 9 ft over the next 80 years????
Liars.
It’s called erosion, as in: the erosion of truth

The LA Times is what you would get if you asked the patients of a psychiatric facility to share their thoughts in prose.
“Isn’t this condition referred to as high tide?”
I CAN FIX THIS!!! Desalination facilities along the entire coast. It will prevent flooding and provide fresh water for inland use. This will grow economies and provide necessary jobs for immigrants.
Pacific sea levels rising very slowly and not accelerating
Parker A., Ollier C., 2019. Pacific sea levels rising very slowly and not accelerating. Quaestiones Geographicae 38(1), pp. 179–184. 3 figs.
Abstract: Over the past decades, detailed surveys of the Pacific Ocean atoll islands show no sign of drowning because of accelerated sea-level rise. Data reveal that no atoll lost land area, 88.6% of islands were either stable or increased in area, and only 11.4% of islands contracted. The Pacific Atolls are not being inundated because the sea level is rising much less than was thought. The average relative rate of rise and acceleration of the 29 long-term-trend (LTT) tide gauges of Japan, Oceania and West Coast of North America, are both negative, −0.02139 mm yr−1 and −0.00007 mm yr−2 respectively. Since the start of the 1900s, the sea levels of the Pacific Ocean have been remarkably stable.
So is Hollywood selling their homes in Malibu?
Nope!
Another lie from the MSM
‘Teschmacher Peaks’...lol Miss Teschmacher was played by Valerie Perrine. Peaks indeed.
Want to stop climate change? Deport the illegals!
Yep; just beach erosion. Bring in some dredges to replenish the beach with the sand that shifted just off shore and wallah; no more missing beach. Good jobs too. They have to do this with rivers where the floor of the river collects dirt and becomes too shallow for boat travel. All very normal and expected.
And yes; their version is an erosion of the truth.

California coast disappearing under piles if poop, needles, piles of garbage, homeless peoples & tents.
Even mother nature doesn’t like CA.
