The seas are rising, swallowing the Malibu shoreline. Snow falls on Mammoth Mountain later each year, leaving skiers in the lurch.
In the Angeles National Forest, trees grow more vulnerable to wildfires as bark beetles that thrive in hot weather proliferate, while water supplies remain fragile.
Hotter weather, increased fire danger, severe rainstorms and rising sea levels - among the consequences of global warming - are already creating a multitude of problems for Southern California, scientists said Friday.
"California is heading into unknown, dangerous territory if we don't take some action," said Bill Patzert, climatologist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Cañada Flintridge. "As sea levels rise, there will be more beach erosion.
"Instead of Malibu Beach, it'll be Malibu Cliffs and (David) Geffen's home'll be bouncing in the surf zone."
In a report released Friday, a panel of international scientists said global warming is expected to continue for centuries. And mankind and our dependence on fossil fuels are "very likely" to blame for the phenomenon.

And to those who believe that, one day, the San Fernando Valley may be home to beachfront properties because of the rising water levels, well, some say it may come at a price.
"That's not too much of a joke if you relate it to New Orleans," said Cox, the geography professor from CSUN.

OMG, eroding shoreline endangers celeb homes!! This has to be the worst imaginable outcome of rising sealevels. The horrow!!
I was walking our dog on the Huntington beach a couple weeks ago. It's plain to see that the shoreline has been eroding for decades from the old railroad and road debris that's tumbled down to the bottom of the cliffs. Everybody knows oceans erode the shore...everyone except liberals who want to tell nature to stop in its tracks.
"horrow"??? maybe he meant "horror"
I grew up on a lake. My Grandparents had that place from 1960 to 1995.
Some years the lake was low and we had a great shoreline and plenty of beach to play on. Other years, the water came right up to the pier; no sand, no shoreline. Just water.
My Grandpa was the Lake Association Director for all of those 35 years. Not ONCE was the varying level of the lake blamed on "Global Warming." Not ONCE did it ever occur to anyone that it was anything other than Mother Nature and her cycles of feast and famine.
He'd be laughin' his butt off at all of this Global Warming cr@p were he still with us. (Most likely he's looking down and laughing anyway, LOL!)
Note my tagline. It encompasses my loathing of EnviroWackos and my love of Chocolate. :)
The terrorism deniers see the apocalypse in global warming. Really odd how the liberal brain works, sort of a$$ backwards if you ask me.
The solution to the lies is to cancel all your newspaper and magazine subscriptions and let them all go broke. The lying won't stop until then.
In the Angeles National Forest, trees grow more vulnerable to wildfires as bark beetles that thrive in hot weather proliferate, while water supplies remain fragile.
Hmmm why is that? Bark beetles were not a problem when loggers where allowed in to clear the dead wood. But then the envior-MENTAL-ist stopped them. Dead trees couldn't be cleared, nor the underbrush. Now all the trees that the MENTAL-ists hugged to protect are infested with beetles and creating more dead wood...to create more forest fires! Like loving a baby by hugging it to death!

Poor Claifornia! Where is this rise in the ocean and when can we expect LA and San Fran to be sunk?

Yep beaches never erroded before. This is all happening since Bush took office!
"Instead of Malibu Beach, it'll be Malibu Cliffs and (David) Geffen's home'll be bouncing in the surf zone."
Wait for it......wait for it.....its coming.....yes! YES! A detection of moisture in my left eye, as I weep for the gay billionares house!

Still waiting on the explanation on how Mars is also suffering Global Warming and when the Martians are going to start driving hybrids! Hey lib scientist. Try this as a cause for your "fictional Global Warming" .....its caused by the sun.....a sun that for some reason has prevented California fruit crops from freezing and put Denver under several feet of snow!
Agreed, I still want these clowns who complain about rising Sea levels to explain the Ross Tide Mark, it was chiseled into stone in the 1880's and is now above the water level, How are they going to explain that?
Is that at Fort Ross in CA?
"No, you mean...Casa Del Lex!"
"Otisberg???"
Hell : If we dont like the climate , just change it.
Just like that.
Climate isnt something man can control.
If it took a hundred years for fossil fuels to get us to this and it really was our fault, We still couldnt change it.
Can we expect Geffen to be selling his Malibu beach-front estate and moving to Granada Hills? Streisand? Riordan? Anybody?
I thought not.
BTW - In case you weren't aware, this story is the screaming front page headline in today's dead-tree edition (at least the Antelope Valley version) of the Daily News. I saw it while walking out of a Von's grocery store. I checked for the story online when I got home. No $ of course.
You are absolutely right about equating light rainfall and GW. I've lived in California 34 years now and have been through three severe drought cycles, all long before the socialist notion of GW was even dreamed of. Drought cycles are completely normal in CA. Steinbeck wrote about them in a fine, small book named "To a God Unknown" that I read many years ago.
From Western Washington University's site, "To a God Unknown is a mystical tale, exploring one man's attempt to control the forces of nature and, ultimately, to understand the ways of God and the forces of the unconscious within."
I just thought of something -- wouldn't "global warming" create rain (instead of snow)? Not a lack of precipitation altogether.
I just drove up to Mammoth last week. The fact that the terrain is desert for 200 miles up the eastern side of California is apparently lost on these people. Like the deserts were created in their lifetimes, or something.
Roof it over and install air conditioning.
