If this is true, coastal property values should be dropping like a rock, right?
See? Engeron was right, Ma -a -lago is all but worthless.
Total BS. I have a house on the Texas Coast and the level hasn’t changed
I guess water levels were never much use for anything - riiiiiight?
Where do they find these morons?
Nonsense.
My business takes me to New England frequently. I’m from outside Philadelphia and worked in NYC for years, so this is sort of uncharted territory for me.
This past winter was mild temperature-wise. But, there were really nasty storms. Many costal areas in New Hampshire and Maine got walloped. Boston seemed to be its usual self with not a ton of snow (the last serious winter was 2015). Parenthetically, the traffic around Boston is worse than NYC.
Many folks with whom I spoke in the NH and ME areas chalked up this winter’s devastation to global warming blah blah blah. But amidst this hype almost EVERYONE said “….and I haven’t seen anything this bad since the storm of 1978.” A few of you who I pinged have mentioned the 1978 storm and digging out streets near Boston. So it’s real.
Now, I remember a massive snow storm as a kid, which aligns with 1978. We were building snow men and using snow blowers outside of Philadelphia, which is sort of unusual. So it happened; It WAS a biggie.
But it wasn’t global cooling (which was all the rage in the 70s).
Thus, if you do the math, this “global warming”-induced 2024 stormy Bad Stuff seems like - wait for it! - a 50-year weather pattern/High Water Mark. Add to that homes being built by Low Information Homeowners over the years so close to the water that you’re just ASKING to be washed out to sea, and you get middle-aged Greta’s…and she’s on the spectrum with slimy parents who use her as a human shield to ca$h in. She’s got an excuse.
A fifty-year storm cycle seems pretty normal, and hardly a reason to buy a Tesla or eat bugz.
B.S.
Irrefutable proof subject to independent verification and rigorous analysis please.
Water finds it level so how is it possible that water levels rise in some areas faster than others? I really hate it when you cross from the Gulf of Mexico into the Atlantic and have to carry your boat up that step.
I live on a sailboat in the Treasure Coast of Florida (for now anyway). WE are at sea level in the Indian River, a river that is tidal, though not much of a tide here. It varies about 1ft from low to high most days. So, we either have to step onto the boat from the fixed dock, or, step down. When the winds blow hard off the ocean, we might have to step up. The docks have been here and haven’t changed in 20+ years (we’ve only been here a few years), but, nothing has changed around here.
It does vary a little, but, not by much.
Water seeks its own uniform level, but coastlines can erode at different rates.
Someone moved the Professor's tide-measuring stick again, didn't they?
“Galveston, Texas, was the worst hit in the Post’s research, jumping 8.4 inches in the past 14 years , which experts said was made worse by sinking land.”
So the tide’s not rising...the land is sinking. Globull warming nonsense at its best.
just like one side of the pool is deeper than the other.
Looking at the American South Seas . . .
Yes! There they are! The states from Texas to North Carolina, are now floating of the western coast line of South America!
