It won’t help. Virginia Beach & Hampton Roads are subsiding (sinking).

Somebody once before cited it to me as an example of inundation due to global warming and I had to get the facts.

Time to hijack this thread a little. ;-)

When one of my global warming friends tried to tell me global warming is causing sea levels to rise in certain locations, like 6 islands in the pacific or fort Lauderdale or Virginia Beach... but not everywhere I ask them this: Can you make water in your bathtub higher in certain spots?

Of course you can’t. If ocean levels are rising, and indeed they have been since the end of the last ice age, then they will rise everywhere.

Gravity variances, tides, prevailing winds and similar have different effects. Subsidence is also real and can be measured.
