You would think after the millions spent in beach restoration projects in that area of the coast, thet the higher thinkers would figure it out.

They analysed tide-gauge records from around North America from between 1950 and 2009

And these measurements had a tenth of a millimeter precision? Riiiiiight, Contnenal drift is much faster.

People build these beach homes that get wiped out each bad hurricane and then they rebuild them with the insurance money.

John Stossel does that ,free money from the government

The true fact is that biased measurements of sea level rise increase in Northwestern states in direct proportion to socialist policy making needs

More self serving Bulls**t to keep the research grant money rolling in ...These assh***s always have away to make people believe that the water in a bucket only rises in one spot.

As pointed out in an earlier thread about this topic.

Just one more broken campaign promise of Obama’s...

I see this as a win-win.

Either the globaloney is false and they have their knickers in a bunch for no good reason, or

it's actually true and we SUV-drivin' hicks in flyover country are causin' them liberals to sink into the ocean first!

Yeah and warp drive is damaging the fabric of the universe (or was that an episode of Next Generation?)

Same old story and it will be the same story 300 years from now. One worry after another so that we will dutifully give up our freedoms and let the collective solve the crisis.

Liberals seem to gravitate to coastal beach areas where there are no wolves, mountain lions, or other dangerious critters to deal with, but love them from afar.

Increased use of groundwater for agriculture, industry, home sprinkler systems, etc. can cause the ground to sink. This is a localized phenomenon.
