Scare tactics anyone ?

Movement of he Tectonic Plates makes coast rise and fall.
Erosion has been occurring since the earth existed.
Climate change is part of nature.
To conclude that man had anything to do is hogwash!

Shelton Kokeok, 65, whose home is on the tip of a bluff that's been melting in part because of climate change.
Assuming he could prove the climate change, I wonder what percentage is due to that and what is due to other processes like natural erosion, sinking land etc.

They had a lot of people at the New Jersey shore convinced that cool ocean temps this summer were due to melting of the polar ice cap.

You can build a barrier to protect the shore...But, before you do, you'll need to get a permit and submit several reports to the US Gov including EPA.
Or you could move your hut. I know...Will the USA Gov pay for your move??

“Permafrost once helped anchor the town, but global warming is melting it, making the ground less stable.”
Uhhhh....seems to me that periods of THAW would be when permafrost is prolific (*NOT* during freeze, unless permafrost is some sort of magic vegetation that only grows when frozen, LOL)

I've noticed a number of alarmist stories for about the last 4 weeks. In particular the AP has been pushing them.
The new claim is that this decade has seen record warming even though for years it's actually been cooling.
I think the so called scientists moved more of their their temperature gauges to airport runways and air conditioner exhausts in order to get the temp readings they want in time for Copenhagen.

This is a picture of the structure in question. Notice the piles of rocks to the right and the fact that the water in the front is not part of the ocean.

BULL! If there’s anything to it, it’s Plate Tectonics.

“I think it’s going to vanish one of these days.”
Oh yes, it most certainly will...one of these days.
The Grand Canyon was once just a creek running along a plain.
To: NEPA
All of those Global Warming stories have been queued up for months. The plan was to release several a day in the weeks just before Copenhagen. That would build a sense of immediacy so that the massive changes proposed at Copenhagen would be broadly accepted by the public.
But Global Warming is now known to be a fraud, so these long-queued stories are almost comical.
Beach Erosion is not the same thing as Global Warming -- though they want us to think so.

I grew up near the Shell Island Resort, NC. I spent many a day by that inlet, fishing and playing. It has been changeable since the 60's that I remember. I've read something somewhere about building on shifting sands! Hatteras is just a little ways up the coast. This area is subject to constant change (without hope).

This may be why the media were so acute to attribute “scare tactics” to Bush’s claim of WMD in Iraq, and subsequent concern every time “terrorism” is mentioned.They use them all the time and project their own methods onto everybody else.

Hey Einstein, permafrost is NOT a plant. Permafrost is frozen ground!

They’ve had to move a lot of old lighthouses on the East Coast further inland because of erosion that has nothing to do with Global Warming. The Dutch and other sensible people don’t take erosion laying down, they build breakwaters and fight back. In this insane country the self styled environmentalists have demonized what everywhere and previously were known as simple civil engineering steps. We’d rather watch Cape Code cumble into the sea.
To: gusopol3
We could use the advice of an expert in these matters. I hear the survival rate is 50%.
