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.

This was a whole Special Section in the LA Slimes last week. However, go check out the mansions on the edge of the waves at Malibu. When I was a kid the water came to their back steps. Guess where the water is today? At the same back step.
Sure, hillsides crumble down. Dryness, Fire, big rains. But the seas are effing NOT RISING around here. It’s lies.
Sounds like it is making a fuss over storm surges that crest 9 feet when they come ashore. Of course, if there is no storm then there is no storm surge, just low and, as you said, high tide.
If only the leftists would go with it.
CA has a lot of beach area.
Citizens are really tiring of all the homeless living on the sidewalks in front of businesses and leaving their needles, trash and human waste products there.
Solution: Just forcibly move all the homeless to the beaches so they can enjoy the sea breezes and warm sands. Allow them to surf fish and have campfires.
I’m sure the liberals in CA would feel that to be humane.
um, bye.

Thanks for your idiotic comment.
The fact that space-time was expanded in no way creates such time spans here at the point of beginning.
I’ll be waiting anxiously for your documentary. You make AOC sound like Stephen Hawking by comparison.

I thought you were the new Hawking. (that would be ‘Hawking’ #6 I believe)
